If you love cats but find yourself sneezing at the mere thought of them, you’ve almost certainly typed “hypoallergenic cats” into your search bar. It’s the holy grail for allergic cat lovers: a magical, sniffle-free feline friend. But what if I told you that the concept of a 100% hypoallergenic cat is a myth? Don’t
When you think of a perfect apartment pet, your mind probably pictures something small and compact. So, the idea of bringing a Maine Coon—a breed nicknamed the “gentle giant” of the cat world—into a small living space might seem completely counterintuitive. Can one of the largest domesticated cat breeds truly be happy in an apartment?
