What is an Allergy?

An allergy is a hypersensitive reaction of the immune system to a foreign object in the body. This foreign substance or allergen is usually harmless, but the body develops a heightened response to it, which ends up triggering allergic symptoms. Common allergens include pollen, dust mites, mould spores, insect stings, certain foods, and pet dander.

 

Anyone can have allergies. Allergies develop when the body releases unique antibodies that fight against foreign proteins in the body. Allergens are proteins, and you can find them in foods like nuts, eggs, milk, fish, and shellfish. In animals, these allergens are present in their saliva, hair, urine, feathers, and skin.

 

What is The Main Cause of Cat Allergy?

If you have allergies from your cat, it is because you are negatively reacting to the protein present in their skin, saliva, or urine. Cats leave stray hair, dead skin cells and dander everywhere, and inhaling these allergens will trigger skin and respiratory allergies.

 

 

How to Get Rid of Cat Allergies Naturally (And Stop Them from Getting Worse)

If your cat allergies are getting worse, try these natural solutions to reduce symptoms—without giving up your furry friend

 

1. Reducing Allergens at the Source

✔ Brush your cat weekly (outside) to remove loose dander.
✔ Wipe your cat with a damp cloth daily to trap allergens.
✔ Use hypoallergenic pet wipes to minimise saliva allergens.

 

2. Keep Your Home Allergy-Proof

✔ Vacuum daily (HEPA-filter vacuum recommended).

✔ Wash bedding & curtains in hot water weekly.

✔ Use washable pet blankets on furniture.

 

3. Improving Air Quality

✔ Run a HEPA air purifier (like the Morris MOR-AP02) to capture 99.97% of airborne allergens.

✔ Keep windows closed during high pollen seasons (pollen can worsen cat allergies).

✔ Use an air ioniser (built into our purifiers) to neutralise allergens.

 

4. Natural Remedies to Soothe Symptoms

✔ Local honey (may help build pollen tolerance).

✔ Saline nasal rinses to clear irritants.

✔ Fans in bedrooms for cleaner air while sleeping.

 

5. When Natural Methods Aren’t Enough

If your cat allergy getting worse, consider:

✔ Allergy-friendly cat breeds (though no cat is 100% hypoallergenic).

✔ Upgrade to a medical-grade HEPA purifier (like the Morris MOR-AP01 for small spaces or MOR-AP02 for whole-home coverage).

 

✅ Pro Tip: Pair these steps with an air purifier designed for pet allergies—like Morris with H13 HEPA filters—to cut allergens fast. Explore Morris top-rated models.

 

How an Air Purifier Can Boost Natural Allergy Relief (And Help You Get Rid of Cat Allergies for Good)

If you're trying to get rid of cat allergies naturally but still suffer, an air purifier could be your missing solution—especially if your cat allergy is getting worse. Here's how the right purifier enhances natural relief:

 

1. Captures What Cleaning Misses

● Even with daily vacuuming, microscopic allergens (dander, saliva proteins) stay airborne for hours.
● A H13 HEPA filter (like in Morris purifiers) traps 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns—smaller than a cat dander speck.

2. Stops the "Allergy Cycle"

When cat allergy getting worse, it’s often because:
● Airborne allergens keep re-entering your lungs.
● Dust mites/pollen (common allergy triggers) stick to dander.

Purifiers with activated carbon (in both MOR-AP01 & MOR-AP02) also neutralise and chemicals.

3. Works While You Sleep

Nighttime congestion? Models like the MOR-AP02 feature:
● Sleep mode (quiet 39dB).
● UV light to kill germs linked to allergies.
● Timer settings to run automatically.

4. Complementary Natural Methods 

Pair your purifier with these natural tips for maximum relief:
● Wash hands after petting cats → Purifier handles airborne residues.
● Use allergen-reducing sprays → Carbon filter absorbs lingering odours.
● Keep pets off beds → Run purifier in the bedroom to catch stray dander.

5. Which Purifier is Right for You?

● Small spaces (40 sq. ft.): MOR-AP01 (budget-friendly, HEPA+H13).
● Whole-room coverage (237 sq. ft.): MOR-AP02 (UV light, 3 fan speeds, night light).

✅ Pro Tip: For severe allergies, place the MOR-AP02 where your cat sleeps most—this cuts dander at the source.

 

The Truth About HEPA Filters: Why H13 is the Only Real Solution for Cat Allergies?

Most air purifiers claim "True HEPA" performance—but there’s a critical difference:

The HEPA Hierarchy: Why H13 Beats E10-E12

Filter Grade	Particle Retention	Industry Use Cases
E10	85% @ 0.3µm	Basic vacuums, cheap purifiers
E11	95% @ 0.3µm	Mid-range models (still misses 1 in 20 allergens
E12	99.5% @ 0.3µm	Marketed as "True HEPA" (but not medical-grade)
H13	99.97% @ 0.3µm	Hospitals, labs—and your home

Science Doesn’t Lie: H13 is the Gold Standard

Clinical Results for Allergy Sufferers

A 2021 Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology study showed:
● E12 filters reduced cat allergens by 82%
● H13 filters (like ours) achieve 99% reduction—the difference between sniffles and real relief.

The "Missed Allergens" Problem 

E10-E12 filters let 15-5% of particles escape—enough to keep your cat allergies getting worse.
H13 captures even smaller particles (down to 0.1µm), including:
● Cat dander (2.5µm)
● Saliva allergens (0.5µm)
● Dust mite faeces (0.01µm)

Why This Matters for You?

If you’ve tried "HEPA like" or "true HEPA" purifiers before with disappointing results, it was likely an E10-E12 filter.
H13 is non-negotiable if your goal is to get rid of cat allergies naturally—not just mask symptoms.
