Sphynx Kitten?

[amityvsvenom]

It is my daughters first birthday in October and I wanted to get her a Sphynx kitten. They are hairless/furless so I thought wow this pet is mad for CF kids. I just want to make complete sure before I pay this much money for a kitten that it is indeed okay for Skye to be around. I think it will be nice to have a kitten that shes not allergic to or an animal that is making her sick around to grow up with. Maybe it will give her more hope.

Oh and I found a great website, my daughter and I read it together to make us feel better on those days that she just isnt doing well or we get bad news...you know.

Hi there,

Is your daughter allergic to cats or animals? We have a large cat just a regular old tabby, who is about 15 years old. She does fine with him. I just do not let him in her room or sleep on her bed. We also have a 2 year old boxer dog. My daughter is not allergic to the animals never been tested but she just loves them. I tend to vaccum ALOT but the animals, especially the dog she just loves. So here is one CF family that loves animals. My husband has read research articles that kids who grow up on farms actually have less allergies from being exposed to the farm animals. sounds weird but we tend to keep our houses so clean , then allergies develop. HTH. and Welcome to the board.

If your daughter is allergic to cats, she is really allergic to the saliva of cats. This would mean that she would still be allergic to a hairless cat.

<i>What causes cat allergies?
About 10% of the U.S. population has pet allergies, and cats are among the most common culprits. Cat allergies are twice as common as dog allergies. But contrary to what you might think, it's not the fur or hair that's the real problem. People with cat allergies are really allergic to proteins in the cat's saliva, urine, and dander (dried flakes of skin).

And what about so-called "hypoallergenic" cats? While some breeds -- like the "hairless" sphinx -- are said to be less likely to trigger symptoms of cat allergies than others, any cat has the potential to cause problems. This is true regardless of its breed, hair length, or how much it sheds. So if you know that you or another family member is allergic to cats, getting one -- no matter what the breed -- is not a good idea.</i>

Another cat breed is the cornish or devon rex. Can't remember which one my sil has, but it doesn't have fur but an undercoating, so they don't shed. Has sort of a wooly coat. Unique but rather spendy. When I hear hairless cat I think of Phoebe in the friends episode with the mean furless cat. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
