You can also use wipes specifically for cats with allergic people. My ex boyfriend is allergic to cats and we had Lock with us. He kept Lock with him. He takes medicine when his allergies flare up, and, also uses his inhaler sometimes. Also, you can buy this stuff from the vet (i think it's called ace and water or something) that helps to change the ph of their saliva (which is what most people are actually allergic to). changing their diet sometimes helps too. we only fed lock raw beef or chicken and sardines and it has helped immensely with chris's allergies, because the chemicals and preservatives in the cat food changes the ph of the saliva as well and can aggrevate the allergies. but, most people want to feed cat food, which is fine. There are a lot of things you can do to help with the allergies. and, time does make a difference. chris is far less allergic to lock now than he was at first. brushing a lot and using a vacuum with a hepa filter helps, too. glad you're keeping your kitties!
