If a person is allergic to domestic cats, would they also be allergic to wild cats (lions, bobcats, etc.)?

Allergies are reactions to specific proteins. There are some proteins that are common to all cats and there are some common to particular species. An example of this is persons with shrimp allergy. Some are allergic to both shrimp and prawns and some are not allergic to prawns because of one of the  exact proteins that shrimp have and prawns do not. So the answer to your question depends on which exact proteins from domestic cats the person is allergic to.
