I have never been particularly fond of cats.\u00c2\u00a0 They are less predictable than dogs, more aloof, and I am slightly allergic to them.\u00c2\u00a0 But cats and I usually come to a sort of…understanding, and avoid each other whenever we must coexist.\u00c2\u00a0 I will even pet them if they’re nice.<\/p>\n

My cousin is wonderful.\u00c2\u00a0 I was staying with her in NYC, and she is a perfect hostess and dear friend.\u00c2\u00a0 But her cat…oh my.\u00c2\u00a0 We just could not seem to agree.<\/p>\n

1. The cat attempted to sit on my head while I was sleeping.\u00c2\u00a0 Several times.<\/p>\n

2. I woke up at 3 am with two glowing eyes a few inches from my face.\u00c2\u00a0 Do you know how disconcerting this is?!<\/p>\n

3. My foot was sticking out from under the blanket, and the cat bit my foot.\u00c2\u00a0 This was at around 5 am.<\/p>\n

4. She knocked my glasses off of the ledge, and then looked at me like it was my<\/em> fault.<\/p>\n

5. I locked her out of the room, and she scratched at the door and mewed all night.<\/p>\n

6. She climbed outside the window and stood on the ledge, several stories off the ground.\u00c2\u00a0 I was really hoping I wouldn’t watch this cat fall off of the ledge.<\/p>\n

hahaha.\u00c2\u00a0 Regardless of all of this, it was pretty amusing. And my poor cousin kept trying to keep her cat off of me, with limited success.<\/p>\n
