Question

Some cats are allergic to people.

Comments

I think this is an interesting claim, but could use more evidence along with the evidence being stronger to support your claim.

Answer 1

The basis of this claim is true, however, it should really be elaborated on. When house pets have allergies it typically falls under 3 categories: fleas, food, and environmental (https://www.livescience.com/animals/can-dogs-and-cats-be-allergic-to-humans). As it pertains to cats, they aren't specifically allergic to people but rather an environment in which they are surrounded by particles like human dandruff. These specific environments, easily found within the household the pet lives in can cause conditions such as asthma  and/or eczema in cats and by no means to a serious extent. So basically cats can be allergic to humans, however, there should be no cause for concern because just as humans received treatment, so can the cats.

I agree with your answer and thought your reasoning was really strong. The only concern I have is that you still put "True" for the article even though the title "Some Cats are Allergic to People" is inherently misleading. As you stated in your fact check, cats can be alergic to a persons specific environment, however not the person themselves. Overall, I thought your fact check was strong though.

I agree with the comment above, your response is strong however leading with the statement that the claim is true confuses readers. The sources used confirm that cats are not allergic to human beings. Regardless the sources are reputable and back the argument.
