r/himalayancats

Hi! As you all are experts with Himalayans, I thought this would be a good place to ask. There’s a possibility of adopting a Himalayan cat, but I do have somewhat of cat allergies. We currently have a Siberian cat which I don’t have any airborne allergies to anymore but I need to wash my hands after petting him cause if I touch my face it would break out into minor hives. He also sheds in clumps which has been manageable but overall doesn’t shed too crazy. I wanted to see how generally Himalayans would compare to this and see what your experience is?
