If you do decide to get a cat, there are a few things you can do to reduce your risk of having an asthma attack:
* Keep your cat out of your bedroom.
* Wash your hands after petting your cat.
* Vacuum your house regularly.
* Use an air purifier with a HEPA filter.
* Avoid using scented candles, air fresheners, and other products that can trigger your asthma.
If you have any questions about whether or not you should have a cat, talk to your doctor.
