The allergist I went to see did the scratch test, which uses a scale of 
0-3, and cat dander was a 3+ for me.  Yeah, not easy at all, but because 
I've been around cats most of my life, I don't get the type of reaction 
that people with a less severe allergy but don't have cats have.

Though when I first moved to Utah, I didn't have cats, and for the first 
time in my life, I was able to breathe properly.  Then I got cats - I 
didn't make the connection until I was tested.

The doors in our apartment are "handle" doors, so I suppose they could, 
but two of them are > 18 years old, and the youngest is 11 (and 
overweight - he's never been able to jump properly, though - but he does 
give me "high fives" on occasion, which is pretty cute).

If they did, we'd have to lock the bedroom door. :)
