You know, I have the same problem (allergies and cats coming up to me).
I've
had some people say it's because those of us who are allergic tend to
give the
cat space, and this seems to trickle into the little kitty mind as
meaning you
are someone they can relate to. Either that, or they see us as a
challenge. Or
they really are just evil.

If you haven't seen it, I recommend the comic strip Get Fuzzy. It's
about a
guy who lives with a siamese (Bucky) and a sharpei/lab mix (Satchel).
The
writer gets the personalities of both dogs and cats down almost
perfect...

You can find it online at http://www.getfuzzy.com (click on the drop
down
listing the comics and choose Get Fuzzy).
