Quick answer
The cat allergy test measures immunoglobulin E antibodies against cat allergens in a blood sample. The main allergen, Fel d 1, is produced in cat saliva and sebaceous glands and becomes airborne on tiny skin flakes and hair. Because the protein is small and sticky, it can linger in a home long after a cat has left. A qualified healthcare provider interprets the result.
About this test in Georgetown
Cat allergy is one of the most common indoor allergies. The key allergen, Fel d 1, is not the fur itself but a protein in cat saliva, sebaceous glands, and urine. Cats spread it onto their coat while grooming, and it attaches to small particles that stay suspended in the air and settle on surfaces. This is why reactions can occur even in homes without a resident cat.
The test measures allergen-specific IgE against cat epithelium and dander in serum. It reports whether antibodies are present and may give a quantitative level or reactivity class. Some laboratories also test individual cat allergen components, which can add detail when results are ambiguous or when a clinician wants a fuller picture.
A positive result indicates sensitization to cat allergens. It does not measure how severe symptoms will be, and some people with antibodies have only mild complaints. A clinician uses the result with the symptom pattern and environment to decide on the most practical steps.
