I had no idea that was possible! Science is amazing. Are you allergic only to black cats?
Google search shows this:
Some research found that dark-colored cats are more allergenic than ones with lighter fur, but other studies suggest that fur color had no link to allergen amount. Another study found that people living in the Western U.S. had higher cat allergen concentrations in the homes than those in other parts of the country.

Yeah I read about it a year or so ago! It’s not just the black ones, it’s shorter haired ones in general for some reason. My old boss’s Maine Coon was never an issue.
