There are advantages to a high-quality diet, like raw food or all-canned, in that cats tend to shed a less. A whole lot less. We have mostly hardwood/tile floors, leather furniture, we vacuum and brush the cats regularly. All of that, combined with the already minimal shedding, means we can have severely cat-allergic friends visit and only need to take a Benedryl to keep from sniffling too much. People are amazed. And we have five cats!

I also know people that have cat allergies so bad it can cause asthma attacks, and they own cats. Keeping the cat out of places like the bedroom, running an air filter, and doing a lot of the things mentioned above keeps them from having any significant reactions.

Hope that helps!

p.s. I love the name George.
