Never occurred to me when I was younger, but about 5 years ago, I started saying that I'm allergic to myself. (How can my own shed hairs bother me so fucking much?! 😡)
Seems *very* awkward for a furry being, though.
Now to read about the cats again.
(My Boo was half Siamese.)
Oh my gosh! Meep! 😍
I don't think I have a pic of my Boo (or his parents) easily accessible, but it will probably not surprise you to learn that he was mostly gray (blue-point mom), with little splashes of white (tux barn-cat dad). First cat who adopted me. Quite an imprint.
Damn, that sucks!
Hairless cats are an enigma to me. I see one and expect it to like give me a quest or summon Anubis or be accompanied by a villain’s lap.
I actually had a long-haired cat for quite a while. Her name was "Felony" and she was a great cat. She got lots of brushing, but she loved it. I rescued her from a friend who had too many cats and one that bullied Felony.
Her original name was "Mischief" and she belonged to a chemistry professor at State University. He got convicted of grant fraud and sentenced to prison, so the grad student who adopted his cat renamed her "Felony". After bouncing around a bit she ended up with me for the rest of her life.
