Well done!!! This is a position I can support! When I was in my twenties, I took in a stray cat to my apartment. My mom couldn’t really visit much after that because she is allergic to cats. Still, she was accepting of the cat because I told her, if I can take care of a cat, then I can take care of a dog, then I know I can handle having children! It worked and was accurate.
A friend of mine has cats; and 2 sons, now grown -- both have cats. One has no children (of the human variety, that is), the other has a step-child (human).
Some people are allergic to cats (& dogs, and....) like my Mom, so she had a ready excuse not to have a furry friend. I wanted a pony for my birthday too, when I was 6. I didn't get that either. I'm sure we weren't zoned for that, but I didin't know about zoning then. I also didn't know how much they cost to keep, what it's like to clean up after them, etc. etc.

I've heard the mothers of a couple of childless friends of mine speak of "my grandcats."
This post all by itself made me a paying subscriber.
Thank you so much! Your subscription will directly benefit my cat! We are very grateful!
Funny reversal, clever, nicely done!
Cats Rule!!

Truly ashamed and now see the error of my ways. Achoo.
You have been a very good dog mommy. That counts.
