Brush your cats regulary and vaccum, vaccum, vaccum and vaccum some more and give your roomate ClaritenD . Also try taking your cats to a groomer on a regular basis and this should help with the dander from the cat. Keep the cats out of your roommates room also. Good Luck.

Most people are not allergic to the cats they are allergic to the pet dander (dead skin and dust mites.)
Try bathing the cats regularly along with constant grooming. Get a room air filter that is HEPA rated. Also vacuum everything that is made of fabric weekly. This includes furniture, bedding, drapes, floors. Extra cleaning may be all you need to do.

Some times a prescription steroid nasal spray will work. One of the vet tecs I used to work with became allergic to animals. (a really crummy thing to happen after all the schooling expense to become a tech) It came on 4 years later. but the sprays worked. Alas she got worse and also had to change professions but she got another 5 years of working at the clinic. with the spray.

If your roommate is intent on keeping the cats, then he/she might want to go to the doctor to see if a prescription of a steroidal nasal spray like Flonase is appropriate. I am allergic to cats, use this product, and no longer have problems. Good luck!

There is something called Aller-Pet that you can use on your cats to reduce dander, which is what most people are allergic to.
Get a HEPA air filter to clean the air.
Don't allow the cats into your roommie's bedroom - ever.
Sweep and vacuum a lot. And use a pet hair pick-up sponge or roller on upholstery.

I think an air purifier would help your roommates allergies. You might also want to brush you cats as much as possible. Also try vaccuming even if you don't have carpet. Good luck! I hope you find some kind of relief.

regrettably, the respond isn't any from a cat habit stand element. it is on the advice of tom cat behavioral professionals that there be diverse cat boxes in a house carry. The golden rule is one cat field according to cat plus one. So in case you have one cat living on your matchbox condominium then this is right. the reason this is the time-honored is with the help of study on families with pussycats that inappropriately urinate (outdoors the field). in my opinion, in case you adult males are no longer having a cat it is inappropriately urinating in the homestead and is using the two boxes do no longer do away with them. you're able to doubtlessly initiate up a behavioral urinating difficulty. IF the muddle boxes scent then this is because of the fact your roommate isn't tending to them like they could desire to. they could desire to be wiped sparkling on a daily basis and adjusted out weekly.

Sounds like your roommate has a problem, not you. Did she know about the cats before you became roommates?

See an allergist for shots to help build up an immunity to the cat allergens...that's what my friend did....now she's practically immune to cat dander.
