The truth is that you hear very little about what allergies cats suffer, even though a significant percentage of domesticated cats have them. In this month's infographic, we're highlighting five common feline allergies that cat owners should be aware of.
Do you already suspect your cat is suffering from a chronic allergy? Be on the look-out for the symptoms, such as: sneezing, coughing or wheezing; itchy skin and watery eyes; ear infections; vomiting or diarrhea; noticeably louder snoring; and swollen or irritated paws.

That way, you'll be prepared to discuss all the relevant details should a vet visit become necessary.
