A cat with allergies

When we moved back from India, Ted was concerned about his allergies to cats, especially when they live in the house. Ted's allergies haven't been too bad so far with Cleo in the house. She is outside some during the day but at night she is generally inside. She recently decided she really liked sleeping on our bed but that really made Ted's allergies worse. So the bedroom was cleaned really good and all the bedding washed and now we keep the door shut our bedroom. The other night Cleo jumped up on Ted's lap, this is pretty rare as she tends to only do this to me. While laying there she started sneezing. Not just once but continually for several minutes. She would stop and rub her paw over her nose and then her ear. I joked with Ted that she must be allergic to him and he would have to move outside! Ted was actually pretty concerned that she might be getting sick and hoping that he didn't catch it. He already has had "cat scratch fever" once. The next morning I called the vet and was informed that cats do get hay fever occasionally. She seems to be feeling better now. But who would have guessed I would have a husband and a cat with allergies!
