Partly: You didn't tell us what the total WBC was and thus it is difficult to interpret the data. Provided the WBC was average, then the elevated eosinophil count is compatible with an allergic disease. The other % are not related to allergic diseases per se.

Yes it is: One of the most important true allergy to pet is the history. If you are having this kind of symptoms when you are around cats the chance is that you do have cat allergy. You could confirm that by doing a skin test for cat callled a skin prick test. If you could not leave your cat you could try taking medications to decrease your symptoms as nasal spary. Washing your cat weekly could also help.
