Practical relevance: Human allergy to cats affects a substantial and growing proportion of the global population, and cat allergy is regarded as the third most common cause of human respiratory allergies, and the second most common indoor cause. Veterinarians will frequently encounter owners who are cat-allergic, and having an understanding of this disease and the methods available to help control the allergy will assist them in giving appropriate advice, alongside human healthcare professionals. Aim: The aim of this review is to summarise currently available data on the prevalence, causes, symptoms and control of human allergy to cats. In terms of managing cat allergy, the emphasis is on reviewing current and emerging modalities to reduce environmental exposure to cat allergens rather than on pharmacotherapy or immunotherapy, as it is in these areas in particular that the veterinarian may be able to offer help and advice to complement that of human healthcare professionals. Evidence base: The information in this review is drawn from the current and historical literature on human allergy to cats, and approaches to reduce exposure to cat allergens and manage symptoms of cat allergy.

“…После постоянного контакта с кошкой в течение нескольких месяцев у некоторых пациентов возможно развитие толерантности [60], однако продолжительность ее неизвестна, и у многих взрослых, у которых в детстве были кошки, могут развиться тяжелые проявления бронхиальной астмы при повторном контакте с кошками даже спустя много лет [34]. Следующие альтернативные меры в некоторых случаях являются более предпочтительными в сравнении с рекомендацией по удалению животного из дома: • ограничение нахождения животного в спальне [61][62][63] [57]. Некоторые из этих мер являются дорогостоящими, многие имеют временный эффект.…”

The prevalence of allergies to domestic animals increases due to the increase in the number of pets worldwide, followed by serious medical and social problems. Domestic cat (Felis domesticus) is one of the most common pets and one of the most frequent (after dust mite) source of indoor allergens and risk factor for bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis. This review collects relevant information on the issues of hypersensitivity to cat allergens (the term «cat allergy» will be used later). The authors consider issues of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of this condition. Special attention is given to the management of patients with cat allergies and particularly usage of special nutrition for cats that can reduce the level of the main cat allergen Fel d 1 in the environment. Whereas, this leads to decrease of allergic diseases symptoms severity.

Background Allergies to cats are the most common animal‐origin allergy, and affect approximately 1 in 5 adults worldwide. The prevalence of allergy to furry animals has been increasing, and allergy to cats is a major risk factor for the development of asthma and rhinitis. The diagnosis of cat allergy is now well established. The exact significance of component‐resolved diagnosis in the diagnosis of cat allergy remains to be fully understood. Allergen avoidance is effective but often has a psychologic impact. Allergen immunotherapy is not well demonstrated. There is a need for innovative approaches to better manage cat allergens. Next‐generation care pathways for asthma and rhinitis will define the place of cat allergen avoidance. Methods and Results This manuscript, based on content presented at the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology Congress 2019, provides information on the prevalence and impact of cat allergies and the molecular biology of Fel d 1, the major cat allergen. Discussion The authors present the scientific basis of a novel care pathway that utilizes anti‐Fel d 1 IgY antibodies to safely and effectively neutralize Fel d 1 after its production by the cat but before human exposure. Conclusion Efficacy of a feline diet with an egg product ingredient containing anti‐Fel d 1 IgY antibodies was demonstrated in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo, and further validated by a pilot exposure study involving cat‐allergic human participants.
