Why, did you have a mix up between a cat and a frog? If so, are both okay? Cat saliva causes allergies in people from what I've heard or read. I always thought it was fur but the saliva dries on their fur then people with allergies come in contact and end up with red itchy skin and eyes. I know some who end up wheezing. I used to be one of them but I no longer have that degree of difficulty. Hey, that's what claritin is for.....but if I wash my hands well after petting a cat I seem to be alright.
