Not to sound silly but have you been around Pixies or Highland Lynx? If not I recomend you try they have something different that does not cause alergic reactions from some people that are alergic to cats. I know that sounds like a load of poop but I have seen it with my own (non-watering) eyes. My brother is horribly alergic to cats however, when he met my Loki (R.I.P.) a Highland Lynx. He had no reaction what-so-ever. Maybe you give them a try.
