Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions about cat allergies:

1. Do my symptoms indicate a cat allergy?
   
   
2. What tests will you use to determine if I am allergic to cats?
   
   
3. Is it dangerous for me to have a cat?
   
   
4. Are certain breeds less likely to cause a reaction?
   
   
5. What are my treatment options?
   
   
6. I am not willing to give away my cat. How can I reduce my exposure to cat allergens?
   
   
7. Is my child more likely to have cat allergies because I have the condition?
   
   
8. Is it likely I am allergic to other animals as well as cats?
