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.

I'm dreadfully allergic to both cats and dogs, which is a most unfair turn of fate. I need a fuzzy beastie around me to be happy. But I'm not allergic to skunks! Except, err, skunks don't purr. They occasionally go "roink" when they're not happy, and Hobkin makes the most adorable noises when he's asleep and dreaming, but no purr . . .
