So? You could have gotten you're asthma from somwhere else..

this certainly didn't work for me... i grew up with cats and have asthma, albeit very mild asthma

Bah, I've had cats all my life and I ended up becoming severely allergic to them to the point where I can't go inside a home that has an indoor cat without breaking out in bumps. :/ This whole thing is more like a cointoss.

Because early exposure to something that may cause asthma may help help the body build up a resistance / immunity to it. It's the same reason that some people expose their kids to chicken pox - the body builds up a natural immunity.
If you grow up with cats you are way less likely to develop an allergic reaction to cats. This doesn't mean that you won't get asthma - but it does make sense that it could help.

I dunno I got asthma last year and I don't like cats and have never had one so I dunno that guy could be on to something.
