(because as everyone knows, all Janeites have cats…)

You should just know that the cat’s paying attention. Enough said.

    No, they don’t. Some of us prefer not to share our dwellings with those who are convinced of their own superiority…and they also make us sneeze.

    Here, here! Lynn. I do not like cats either.

    Cat blog, huh? Hysterical. I’m really a dog person myself but try telling that to my two cats.

    Someone did a survey on what constitutes a Janeite, I’m happy to say that dog-lovers were part of the demographic!

    I do hope everyone understands I was engaging in ironic hyperbole for the purpose of humor. The stereotype is that Janeites are tea-sipping, bonnet-wearing, wet-shirt-worshipping crazy cat ladies. I was joking about that stereotype.

    I am a dog person, myself. I also like exotic birds. I don’t dislike cats but unfortunately am allergic to them.

      I think we all know you were quizzing us, Mags, but we had to protest in order to keep the ball rolling on.

    Very interesting. I’ve never thought of my female as a “cat person,” at least no more than I’d call myself a “human cat,” but we have developed a mutual curiosity and acceptance towards each other.

    Lord knows that I’ve worked for my beast for the last nine years. Nice of him to allow me to share the house and provide his meals.

    btw, I *am* talking about the cat. :D
