Likely: Cat allergy symptoms can be nasal (sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose, stuffy nose), eye (itchy, red, watering), lung (cough, wheeze, chest tightness), skin with direct contact (itching, rash, hives). Cat allergy is very common. If symptoms persist or recur with cat contact, presumptive evidence of cat allergy. Allergist can test specifically for cat allergy to assist.
