It's not the fur, actually. I don't know what causes allergies to dogs, but most people who are allergic to cats are really allergic to a protein in the cat's saliva. Which gets on the fur when the cat grooms and then kicked up in the air when the cat sheds. Regular brushing does help, but having a good filter on the vacuum is the most immportant thing.
