WTF: yagt: cat allergies - me or the kitties?

Shaving the cat probably makes the problem worse. The skin will flake from the irritation and all the oils and dead skin will more easily get into the air.

Clearly she has her best interest in mind and is waiting for him to leave.

Acting like a pvssy and expecting her to take care of your sorry ass isn't exactly the best way to "git teh wimminz".
 
The cats came before you, yes? You can't ask an animal lover to give up their pets. It just won't happen. Always ensure pet compatibility before even starting to date. Little white yappy dog lover? REJECT! Pets you are insanely allergic too? REJECT!

Get a Claritin knockoff from Target; much cheaper
Get a prescription for Flonase (though choose the generic version to save cash), to help with the sneezing/runny nose
Get a HEPA air filter for your house
Buy a HEPA air cleaner
Consider buying and using a HEPA vacuum cleaner and vacuuming the apartment once or twice a week
Change your sheets weekly

Now I used to have pretty bad cat allergies; I still use the Flonase, but only when I have a new cat in my apartment (read: A feral I've caught on my porch and am trying to tame and adopt out), and I take the Claritin daily. I can't tell I ever had allergies now. I almost never vacuum the apartment, I only used the air purifier for a couple of months, and I'm fine. I still use the HEPA filter for my house, but I figure why not? The cheap crap I used to use didn't really collect any dust, so I might as well use something that keeps the air cleaner and might at least help slightly with pollen allergies.

After 6 months or so, you should build a complete or partial resistance to your cats. You may still be allergic to other, different cats, but your body builds a tolerance after awhile, so you may be fine without medication by that point.

Good luck.
