Hello everybody. I have been struggling with asthma for a few years and I want to get a fluffy cat but I am not sure if it is a good idea because of my condition. Can it trigger asthma flare-ups?

Hi @kathyW! How is your day going?

Thank you for starting this discussion! According to @jasm10 @seattlelife @Angela46 @seattlelife @knsasmyhme @Nanasaucedo @asthma55 @SherryAG @nutterbutter @Breathenow @Gopshinsky @Cr0ssr0ad @Vriley @McCord @COASTALCHIX @xLadyKarma94

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing good!

How has your journey with asthma been lately? Does pet hair trigger your condition? Do you think getting a fluffy friend is a good idea for a person with asthma?

Take care,

@Somya.P I want to comment on the cat and pet hair in regards to asthma. My experience has not been favorable. I am not allergic to animals butI am to allergic to pet dander of any animal. Depending on the length of exposure I can sometimes go down for hours.
