Okay Peanuts who’s ready to hear about MY favorite stone? Yup, we’re talkin’ diamonds!! Have you ever wondered why diamonds are such a coveted gem? I know I have.

The reason why people associate their allergic reactions to the cat’s fur is that the protein is found in the cat’s saliva and when a cat grooms itself the protein may be deposited in their fur. The protein is called Fel D 1. Click here for information on the protein Fel D 1. While there is no truly hypoallergenic cat breed there are domesticated cat breeds that produce lower amounts of the protein that cause allergic reactions to humans or because of its short fur coupled with lower allergy-causing protein production provoke fewer…
