20th May, 2009 - Cats

I miss having a cat. I don’t talk much about this at home, because my Significant Other believes that cats are directly responsible for the spread of every disease known to man. In her view, if we let a single feline into the house, we will all succumb to a deadly bout of bubonic plague or MRSA or some such. I think she secretly believes that cats are the masterminds behind the Taliban, and invented the Hydrogen bomb.

So, I have long-since stopped my vague hints about bringing a pet into our household. About how it would be nice to have a wee purring pal in your lap when you watch the telly of an evening. About how relaxing they are. About how they are actually very clean animals.
Ah. I’d really like a cat.
