Default Cat Allergy and Kid Questions - Plus an awesome Cat Video!

So does anyone have any real experience with breeds that supposedly reduce or remove the amount of reaction to a cat allergy?

My wife is allergic, and my son has been asking for a pet (or a sister, let's just say the pet is far more likely). He has a condition where they recommend pets as well, and I've had cats for as long as I can remember so I prefer them. (Can't stand dogs).

Anyway, Siberians, Russian Blues, and others claim to be less allergenic than other breeds. Anyone actually experience this?

Or anyone have one of these breeds and would be willing to let my wife come over and smell your cat?

With respect to kids, my son can forget to be gentle at times and I'm wondering if at 4.5 he's a bit young for a cat.. if I should get him a fish for now until he's a bit older.

And in thanks, I give you a cat riding a roomba.
