Background: Feline allergic skin disease presents a diagnostic challenge due to the potentially subtle and widely variable clinical presentations known as feline reaction patterns. Cats are often secretive in their pruritic behaviours and so, unlike with canine disease, the clinical history for a cat may not give insight into the presence of pruritus. Once a diagnosis of feline allergic disease is achieved, there are several treatment options available; however, the majority have not been studied extensively in cats and many represent off‐license use.Aim of the article: This article outlines the relevant steps in making a diagnosis of feline atopic skin syndrome and reviews the treatment options available.

猫特应性皮肤综合征的诊断和治疗

背景：猫科动物过敏性皮肤病由于潜在的微妙且变化广泛的临床表现（称为猫科动物反应模式）而提出了诊断挑战。猫的瘙痒行为通常是隐秘的，因此与犬科疾病不同，猫的临床病史可能无法洞察瘙痒的存在。一旦确诊为猫过敏性疾病，有多种治疗方案可供选择；然而，大多数药物尚未在猫身上进行广泛研究，而且许多药物都是未经许可使用的。本文目的：本文概述了诊断猫特应性皮肤综合征的相关步骤，并回顾了可用的治疗方案。
