If you have an allergy to cats, the last thing you want to do is clip the fur on one. The fine bits of fur the clippers toss out will find their way into your eyes and nose.... take your kitty to the groomer. Drop kitty off and pick kitty up and leave the fur with all it's allergens behind.
It is not so bad if I put my little dust mask on. I usually do it out on my patio with some fresh air.
There is no way I could have done that with Mickey, his fine fur even made my skin itch. My eyes blew up, puffy, red, watery, I was almost at a point of needing an inhaler once, I went into an asthma attack while brushing him.
After that, I never brushed him. He went to the groomers religiously, I took allergy pills.
What is interesting, I was never allergic to cats, then I turned about 18, and became terribly allergic, but we kept our cats, my allergies are much less now, I lived through the worst, and got better. I think too many people bail on cats when they get allergic. You can still have a cat, and the allergies get better.
