Test her suspicion by going to see an allergist to diagnose the allergy.

Reason: Sneezing around a cat suggests a possible cat allergy, but other causes are possible. An allergist can confirm with history plus tests (skin prick or specific IgE) and recommend management (avoidance, meds, immunotherapy) rather than immediate avoidance or dismissal.
