Cats are blamed for triggering asthma attacks in humans but veterinarians in Scotland said on Wednesday it may also work the other way around.

I'm someone who has asthma attacks triggered by cats. Yet, I still like cats. Now I know what kind of cat I need to own.

Pedigree oriental breeds such as Siamese cats are more prone to the respiratory problem than other cats, according to the researchers.

That's perfect. I need a pedigree asthmatic Siamese cat. Then I can finally have a cat that understands my angst.

Supposedly Ragdolls are pretty hypoallergenic. A friend of mine has one and it doesn't trip my allergies even close to half as bad as my brother's cat did.
