I always tell clients beforehand that there is a cat around, and I also have a perennial stash of Claritin at the ready. I'd rather lose the client than the cat though. (Unless it was, I don't know, Tom Waits or something.)

Yeah I'm incredibily allergic to cats. If it doesn't effect my sinuses, it'll affect my lungs which REALLY REALLY sucks. (trust me).
Yes pets in my opinion have a calming effect. That's why you will see them sometimes in doctors offices.
One thing some people do is put fish tanks in the offices for a calming effect. Which is an idea for those of you wary of having furry pets around for the potential allergen sensitive client or primadonna.
Otherwise you'll have to vacuum more unless your pet doesn't shed much or has little to no hair (i.e. miniature shnauzers, chihauhas, etc, etc.)
Even with those breeds I would still vacuum more often (I'm quite wary around millions of dollars of equipment).
