Thank you for all the comments! Allergy to hairless cats depends on the person. My friend's husband is highly allergic and couldn't even be in a house that has cats or previously had cats, but he has no symptoms with them. However, another friend is also highly allergic but will get symptoms that just need allergy medicine. Some cats are more oily than others, and this will effect how a person reacts. It also depends on how regularly the cat is bathed. Thermo can go 2 weeks without a bath, but Toki needs it more frequently. Many times I would have just bathed her and within 3 hours she seems dirty and grimy again! Here are some more pics of them:

(the second to last photo reminds me of a scene from the Neverending Story [last photo], where one of the characters has to pass through a "Sphinx" gate without getting obliterated by their gaze! Only the ones with confidence and true worth could pass without getting killed by lasers shooting out of the statues' eyes - the photo is Leroy re-enacting this scene)

I've been so busy with work and going out of town that I forgot to bathe my cats! Leroy gets most of the grooming attention now and sometimes I get too focused on hair. I typically bathe the kitties every week, at the most every 2 weeks, but THREE is pushing it. What's funny is that Toki knows it too. I heard her chewing something and I thought she was chewing on plastic, but she was chewing on her NAILS! The nail on her "thumb" was sooooo long and pointy. She was frantically chewing and pulling at it. They are so used to having their nails clipped weekly that even they can't stand any nail growth! I immediately gave both cats a bath, and afterwards Toki was rubbing and loving on me, as if to say "Thank you so much for bathing me! and clipping these darn nails!"
