Are cats allergic to mites? Yes. Cats can have an allergic reaction to dust mites.
Dust mites are small and often undetectable. Dust mites can cause your cat to have an allergic reaction that lasts for weeks. In fact, many people only realize that their cats are being affected by mites when they noticed signs of an allergic reaction to mites.
Cat dust mite allergic reactions include itching. When cats start to itch because of mites they'll scratch at the affected areas.
Scratching at their neck and other affected parts of their body like this can cause damage to their skin which can lead to a secondary infection. This is just one of the reasons why it's important for pet parents to have cats itching from dust mites treated as quickly as possible.
A cat dust mite allergic reaction can be treated with the help of a veterinarian. If you have more than one cat in your household, all of the cats who are having an allergic reaction will usually need to be treated.
Also treat your home for dust mites even if you're currently only seeing symptoms on one cat.
