Some people on PT do bathe their cats, I believe it helps to keep allergies down, so would help with your asthma, I personally donot bathe either of my cats and I am allergic to cats, but now owning two I also have found my allergy to be much better, tolerable infact.

I too should not let my cat sleep on the bed, but Lexie just wants to be there and I have not the heart to shut her out, so it is up to you,but when your asthma is playing up, it would be best to let kitty sleep elsewhere if possible, by the way welcome to PT., hope you enjoy it here and can post pics of your kitty.
