Wish I had a cat

[pegkerr]

I adore cats. I am however, dreadfully allergic to them, which seems awfully unfair. When I was growing up, we had cats, and I got an allergy shot once a week. Somehow, I'm not willing to do that anymore. So: no cat.

Usually, I just accept this as an unhappy but given fact of life, but tonight, especially after reading wicked_wish's entry here and elisem's entry here, and remembering various amusing things scott_lynch has said about his cat, like this or this, I really wish tonight that I had a cat. Something alive to snuggle with me and head bash me and sit on my lap and purr. Or do ridiculous things around the house that will make me laugh.
