Cat stories

I am asthmatic and allergic to all sorts of things, like grass, dust, pollen, mold, cats and dogs, corn and freshly vacuumed carpets. Although I don't vacuum (I hire cleaners) I do eat corn. Late September, usually about right now, just one week before my birthday (October 2nd) I desperately fight sinus issues and clogged ears and headaches. Inhalers, nose sprays, and ibuprofen become my saviors. But here I am, a cat owner, with a cat that sleeps on my bed and breathes in my face. Her name is Gigi, short for Giselle. Early yesterday morning I locked her in my room for 15 minutes while I made turkey sandwiches. I ignored her meowing, but later discovered she'd used my bathroom sink as her litter box. Great start to another fun day.
