Cats are twice as likely to cause an allergic reaction in people as dogs.
Wash your cat regularly and clean wood floors thoroughly. Keep pets outdoors, or at the very least, out of your bedroom. Bathe pets in lukewarm water weekly to lower the allergen level. Have a non-allergic family member brush your pet outside of the house frequently to remove allergens and excess fur. Have a non-allergic family member clean the cage of your pet frequently.
