I have been to an allergist and tested positive that I was allergic to dust
mites, and cats, among other things.  So, I am a little worried about
getting a ferret.  People at the pet stores have told me there is know way
to be sure if I am allergic to ferrets because I am allergic to cats, and
the allergist doesn't have a test for ferrets.  So you say I should just
hold one and see, but with cats I don't get a reaction unless I am exposed
to them for a long period.  So what do I do?  Is ferret and cat fur similar?
