Oh, our house is absolutely cat-free. In fact, if we visit with a cat-person, our clothes go straight into the wash when we come home, and we go into the shower. Nobody goes in the bedroom so long as they're cat-aminated. And when cat-people visit, the (leather) couch gets thoroughly wiped down.
We have a standard poodle. He's much larger than our meager closets. He has two beds piled atop each other on the floor. His bedding is also washed weekly. Theoretically, the poodle is bathed weekly. It's been frigid, so it's been awhile longer. I'll try to give him a bath tomorrow, though, that's not a bad idea.
Our room doesn't harbor mold--in fact, I have to replace my pillow regularly *just in case* the memory foam is harboring mold from my wet hair.
Skin prick tests are generally still inconclusive at his age. I'm sure he'll get a run down in a few years. His father is atopic and I'm severely so (I have IgE levels that make docs run the test *again* because they can't possibly be that high).
