Many people decide to become cat owners in spite of their pet allergies. The companionship these people get from their beloved cat is worth the inconvenience to them. While there may not be an easy way to completely eliminate the issue, there are many things that can be done to minimize its impact on your life.

Regularly brushing your cat can help to reduce the amount of shedding taking place around your house. Utilizing air filters in your home can make the air in your home significantly cleaner, and purchasing a vacuum specifically designed for use in a home with pets can help pick up anything left behind by your cat. A simple way to reduce pet allergies is to regularly air your house out. Spend an afternoon with the windows open and get some fresh air.
