I guess the best way to deal with the situation is talk about it and try to make it as comfortable for him as possible.

There is a wide range of allergic reactions, but since anaphylaxis was mentioned, I assumed she was talking about my kind of cat allergy. (speaking from personal experience, anaphylaxis sucks.) If its the kind of allergy where constant vacuuming and a Zyrtec make it manageable, that's a whole other ball of wax.
