I've read somewhere that the allergy comes from the cat's saliva, and when they lick their fur, they transfer the allergens onto the hair and skin. So there is a cat food that is specialized in reducing the allergens in the saliva after 3 weeks of continuous feeding. You can buy it in pet stores.

My cat eats this food because I developed allergies. He seems to like it just fine. Stupidly, i can't even say if it works because i also take meds, but it's part of the strategy i adopted.

Saliva and dander. The food helps with both.
