It's not the hair that people are usually allergic to, but an enzyme in the cat's salavia, which gets on their fur when they groom themselves.
So, for people with allergies, they either have to live on Claritan or stay away from cats.

All cats will shed; some shed seasonally (at the end of summer and the end of winter) and some shed all year around. To give you an example I have two cats, a Ragdoll and a Burmese. The Burmese is a shorthair and she sheds all year around. The Ragdoll is a semi-longhair and he only sheds seasonally. It really does depend on the amount of grooming you do as well as the type of cat. Generally if you stroke a cat and more than just one or two strands of fur comes off in your hand it's likely to shed quite a bit.

Being a person with allergies, long hair and short hairs make me just as "sneezy". Sorry.
