Nice of him to allow me to share the house and provide his meals.

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

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.

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.

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.
