It's important if you plan on having people stay with you at any time or want to have people over that may be allergic.

This is very true. My girlfriend can't go anywhere where there is a cat. If we get invited over somewhere new, first question I have to ask is if they have a cat or have ever had one. If the answer is yes, we can't go.
One time a colleague of mine was having a dinner party and invited us over. I asked all the approriate cat questions, the answer was no, so we accepted. My girlfriend was complaining after 5 minutes that there was a cat somewhere but my friend kept swearing up and down there wasn't. She was a trooper and made it through dinner even though she was on the verge of death, but we had to leave right after. The next day he told me he was short on chairs so he'd asked a friend to bring some. It turned out the chairs were from a house with a cat which no one initially realized.
