The story in a nutshell: Been looking at homes for a little while and had seen about 7-8 (including open houses). My girlfriend and I go see one a few nights ago and we both loved it. The layout was perfect, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, finishings, the whole nine yards.

The only issue is the house was previously owned by people with a cat as a pet. There was no noticable cat smell or stains, so we are not overly concerned about urine in the carpet. However, I am allergic to cats(severity of maybe 4 out of 10).

We will do a full carpet steam, plus floor to ceiling cleaning, as well as clean the furance and vents prior to move in. We are even willing to rip out the carpets and replace should it come to that.

Just wanted some thoughts of people if they would do something like this or if this is a terrible idea. Anyone with first hand experience would be extremely helpful.
