Way back about 15 years ago they did tests in the USA on people with allergies to cats and the fact that it was the skin that was causing the problem (which may be why you are OK with your Tonk and not with your moggie) and discovered that if you sprayed the cat daily with distilled water it controlled the problem.
Then, after further tests they decided that if you just bathed the cat every 2 weeks (or something like that can't remember the exact timing) that would keep everything under control and people who'd wanted cats for year but couldn't have them because of the allergies, suddenly were able to keep them! My husband just uses a Becotide inhaler every morning and evening as a preventative and never has to resort to the instant relief one and at one time we had 10 permenent cats and litters of kittens and 8 of the permanent cats were semi longhaired, but he has to borrow Caroline's when we go there because of his reaction to the Buremese.

i wsa watching that doctor program on channel 4, where they go around the country...
and they sad people are allergic to not the hair but the spit of cats which they put on their coats, obviouslt longer hair has more spit, so if you geta damp tea towel, and rub them over once a day it works

I think part of the problem with short haired cats is that they moult out single hairs that are like short needles and get stuck through, as well as on, everything. Longhaired and semi longhaired cats' hair seems to come out more in 'lumps' of hair that is much softer and doesn't go through fabric, so is easier to deal with.
