Answers:
This is going to sound crazy but hold the cat and rub your face in it's fur gently. Nose, eyes and all.( shut your eyes of course ) Put the cat down and see if your eyes get itchy and red and if you sneeze and so on. If so then take a benadryl ( the pink as the blue wont work ) If you are alergic , there is actually some shampoo you can use on cats to help keep the allergies to a minimum and you can also get on meds from your doc.

you sneeze when around them. your eyes water and itch.

-excessive sneezing
-watery eyes
-choking on fur balls
-getting rashes after interacting with cats
-Feeling itchy after being in close contact with cats
-Unexplainable headaches

Typical allergy symptoms are itchy, watery eyes, stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, hives, trouble breathing. you can have 1 or 2 of these symptoms or all. The only sure way to know if it is cats that are causing your allergy symptoms and not something else is to be tested by an allergist. Allergy testing can be done through simple blood tests now, so you don't have to get allergens injected into your skin to find out what allergies you have.

If you sneeze, get a runny nose, and get irritated eyes, then you may be alergic.
