Allergies in cats are endemic in domestic cats. But they are virtually absent in wild cats. This means that there is something that we humans are doing to cats that causes this issue.

Signs and symptoms that a body experiences is not a problem, as so many people think of them. It is a signal that not all is well within. There is a disharmony.

Every health problem is an opportunity to unlock the door to do this. If you like, the problem is the messenger: understand and resolve this issue and overall health improves. 

That means dealing with this issue holistically can return the harmony within and the cat no longer has allergies.

Common symptoms include:

• skin eruptions or rashes
• sneezing
• itching without a visible cause
• swelling
• difficulty breathing.

However, these symptoms are also common to many other conditions.

One of the most common causes of poor health in anyone, including cats, is a lack of nutrition.

Commercial cat food is nutrient bankrupt. It uses the waste from human food and large amounts of the cheaper plant based foods (for our carnivorous cats?). The food is poor grade and lacks the complex nutrition cats need. What little might have been there is then cooked at high temperatures and pressures, destroying even that.

Food is not a collection of nutrients. It is complex. It is synergistic. The food cats evolved on provides all their nutritional needs. It is impossible to improve on that.

Another problem with commercial cat food is that it is laced with chemical copy cats of nutrients, which lack the interconnectedness of real food.

Additionally, chemicals are added to preserve, to flavour, to colour, to entice a cat who is instinctively wary of poor quality food.

These are toxic to our sensitive cats. The cats have a hard time eliminating these toxins as they are taken in daily with food.

Other toxins come from drugs and vaccines. These cause an imbalance in the fragile immune system, causing it to mistake natural substances for damaging one.

The food and the drugs are the internal toxicity the cat's body has to deal with. They mount up over time.

The external toxic components are the chemicals in the water, furnishings, household cleaners, air fresheners, etc. To some extent, the cat can avoid some of these.

Vets are not taught about cause and effect. They are taught to look at the condition, then prescribe a drug. The most common drugs for allergies in cats are the immuno-suppressant drugs.

As the name suggests, the drugs further damage an already compromised immune system. It's adding insult to injury.

Drugs suppress the body's attempt to heal itself. The problem remains and worsens over time. This is why drugs have to be given for life, a rather short and unhappy life.

Homeopathic treatment (one of the many holistic health care modalities) collects absolutely every detail of the cat's life. For instance diet, past health issues, past treatments, past traumas,  personality, anything known about the pregnancy and early life, what they like or dislike and what makes them feel better or worse.

Only then can a treatment be prescribed that will heal.

It's very individual and needs specialised knowledge.

Healing allergies in cats is best approached from the cause and effect idea.

Feeding the species specific food for a cat will always improve every situation. This is where you come in. You are the only one who can change the diet. Forget about treating the condition yourself. Changing the diet is a big enough undertaking and you may need help.

The diet may not deal with 100% of the condition, especially when it's been established for years.

To complete the healing, find a homeopath you can work with. Then the problem can be solved.

People power is the driving force behind change. When people start feeding their cat according to Natural Laws, when people start using holistic health care to HEAL a problem rather than suppress it, the cats in our lives will become vibrantly healthy.

And your bank balance will benefit.
