Since I am a child i love cats, but my mother told me that stay away from cat because it may bring asthma because of the hair, if my mother is away, i will get my cat and bring me to my room, shes so cuddly and sweet.

All your mother told you was right. You should be careful with pets. Stay clean and clean them always.
Fortunately I never feel sick because of my cats. I clean her everyday, and give her proper medicine through the doctor. Hope everything will be fine for me.

Then my mother said that the cats don't want to bath, they might get sick.

hello laurenn08,
Having 15 or more cats around me everyday doesn't make me sick becoz i don't have an asthma but i know some asthmatic people who has pet as a cat and it doesn't make them sick.
Having cats around you is good they will scare the rats and they also can take away your stress. 
happy posting

I dont feel sick with all my cats even my sister has asthma. I dont think a cat will bring you asthma its just that if you have a low resistance then you will get sick. I also love to sleep with my cats in my room. And sometimes they are waking me up.

My mother also told me that I will get sick cause of the fur of my cats and dogs. I know that she's concerned about me but I don't feel that my pets makes me sick. In fact they made me feel better, when I play with them or I hug them they make me feel better.

My cats are semi-outdoor. I have not given them a bath ever since. But maybe I will try on one summer day. But not this season. It's too cold right now though we are a tropical country. Nevertheless, we've not gotten any health problems so far or nothing related to it.

One factor that can cause sickness to your cats are the foods that they eat. Be aware of the foods that are not good for them to avoid them from being poisoned or being sick. I have found some list of these foods, hope this will help you: http://quazen.com/recreation/food/five-foods-your-cat-shouldnt-eat/
