Why only allergies to White Cats? was started.
You have done a pretty good job of analyzing this situation and have come to a very logical conclusion. Allergy shots to cats are not very successful for a variety of reasons. They are not seen as the treatment of choice. Getting rid of the cat will save you a lot of medical problems in the future for both you and your daughter, who has asthma.
I say the best way to fight off your air born allergies is to buy a air purifier for your house, or a little one for your bedroom. I can not stress the benefits of having a air purifier or sterilizer in your home.

I had a similar problem too and searched high and low for a solution. Kept the local Chemist going for Anti-Histamines thru the winter. There is no easy solution, time for Tabby to go.
I have been having a lot of problems with coughing, mucous in throat, etc. for around 7 months now going to various docs. Most recently a pulmonologist. He looked in my nose and asked me if I had a cat. Well, I never though of it but I got a cat right around the time these issues started. But since I don't have itchy eyes etc I never even considered it could be cat allergy. He said it didn't matter. He ordered a bunch of lab tests and I will follow up with him tommorrow. I don't know if it's the color of the cat as much as the type of fur that could be the problem. My cat is mostly dark colors.
