Please is cat hair dangerous to health?...
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cat hair: Any dander is bad. It acts as an allergen and may result in asthmatic type issues and breathing problems. Also they harbor germs and bugs, and dust. If swallowed you cannot digest and over time may cause bowel issues. It also clogs up your drains as well.
