One of the most frequent questions we get from people is whether or not Bengal cats are hypoallergenic? The correct answer is yes, they are hypoallergenic, meaning “relatively unlikely to cause an allergic reaction.” In comparison to other cat breeds, Bengal cats are less likely to cause an allergic reaction in people. This exotic hypoallergenic cat breed became very popular in recent years. These cats are said to produce less Fel d 1 protein than many other breeds and shed less hair, and owners with allergies report that Bengals rarely trigger them.
