If you're alergic to cats, you may think that it's the cat hair that sets off your symptoms. In fact, it's not the hair, but the dander. Dander is produced as a result of cats licking and cleaning themselves, so the hair isn't the problem. In fact, people who are alergic to cats can even be alergic to hairless cats.
