Should I stop this or enjoy the comedic value?

DO NOT SHAVE THE CAT, THATS NOT THE CAUSE.
Cat Allergy: People who are allergic to cats have a reaction to the cat's saliva and dander (dead skin cells). However, typical allergic symptoms do not result from direct contact with your pet. Instead, when the cat grooms itself by licking its fur, it deposits saliva, which dries leaving behind the protein antigen and loosens dead skin cells. These allergens (saliva and dander) are very lightweight and are easily airborne. Once in the air, the antigens can spread to clothes, furniture, carpeting or any other household item.
Once cat allergy is confirmed, the best way to decrease allergy symptoms is to remove the cat from the home. If you decide to keep your cat, however, you should at least try to keep it out of the bedroom or off the bed. Washing the cat once a week may help reduce the amount of cat allergen in the house

I'm tempted to say enjoy the comedic value, but I feel bad for the cat. Tell your friend not to do it, and if she doesn't want to listen, have her ask her vet about it.

That's a hard one.. I think I would want to enjoy the laugh, but in the end I would have to tell her not to shave the cat.

You're kidding, right? Does she think the cat is allergic to her own hair? The cat shouldn't pay for your friends stupidity, so stop her. She probably shouldn't be allowed to have a pet until she can pass an IQ test.

Yeah have fun. My cat is pretty cool and when I have clippers out for the dogs doesn't mind. I think he likes the vibration of the clippers. Be sure your friend wears protective gear.

They say birds of a feather flock together, clearly true in the case of you and your stupid friend.
