i don't think so. but i know that the cat's hair mixed with dander and saliva is an allergen and can make us sneeze. it can be bad for people with respiratory problems.

Probably it is, it's not good if you swallow it and it's difficult to eliminate it fron your stomach, and it's very alergic I love cats but I hate this part of them.

no, not for everyone. It is poisonous only to those having "asma"or any similar diseases related to lungs.....

No its not poisonous. Whoever heard of poisonous cat hair? Anyway, there are people who are allergic to animal dander so they end up wheezing and sneezing. I't allergic reaction really.

A cat's hair is not poisonous, but can be a rather huge problem for those who are allergic to the dander. I read someplace....don't remember exactly that it's the saliva that causes the allergic reaction when it comes in contact with the cat hair. It's not the fur that causes the reaction it's the cat's saliva that does it.
