I got my first cat-related puncture wound today. I know what you're thinking: "You have a cat? You hate cats!" That I do. Or rather I had convinced myself I did. Let's be clear: it's an outside cat period. It will not enter the allergy-free zone of our home (by which I mean cat-allergy-free zone--we've got piles of dust that have formed interest ( Read more... )
