hypoallergenic cats?

I have a friend whose whole family is allergic (my friend is the only one who isn't allergic) and they got a Cornish Rex cat that none in her family has a problem with. I don't know much about them other than they supposedly are good for people with allergies.

One kind of hypoallergenic cat is the Siberian cat. Below is a good site that explains all about the cat. Don't think I've ever seen one before but it's a pretty cat, I think. http://www.siberian-cat-breeder.com/siberian_cat_breed_summary.html

Allergies to cats are not because of the hair on the cat. It's due to cat dander and particles in their saliva (spit) that cause people to be allergic. Getting a hairless cat or a cat with tons of fur won't make a difference. Get your DH on allergy meds. My husband is allergic to, but we've got a lot of cats and he just takes allergy meds once a day. I can tell when he runs out or forgets to take them. He looks like someone used him for a punching bag and he goes through a box of Kleenex an hour.
