I bet cats like you though. They seem to be attracted to allergic people.
I love cats but I too dislike people who let their cats roam. Cats are perfectly capable of getting enough exercise indoors, due to their use of vertical space, and they become an invasive species when they're feral or roaming. I support TNR programs because leaving neutered ferals in place keeps from opening a niche for more breeding cats, and because they aren't really adoptable. Although some can be given rodent-control jobs on farms and the like. That's outdoors but it's not the same as roaming around the city.
Not only is roaming bad for the environment and local eco system, people near me let their cats roam. I live in a condo and see them roaming my area, But our building uses poison to keep mice at bay, and any mice near here are liable to be poisoned, which is dangerous for kitty. Also we see coyotes regularly in my area, which is super dangerous for kitty. I always try to tell the neighbors to keep their cats indoor for their safety
