allergenic.

something tragic has happened.  somehow i have become allergic to cats.

no, you don't understand:  this is a disaster!
i love cats.  i have always loved cats.
i pet them in the streets.  i pet them in the fields.  i love them even though one gave me poison ivy all over my face two weeks before my wedding. 
the best christmas gift i ever received was a kitten when i was seven.  tigger.  he used to chase me around the house and put both front legs around my ankles.  we would play together.  8 years later, when we moved, tigger disappeared from our new house and it was devastating.

i don't know how this happened.  maybe it was being away from pets for so long:  first four years at ssu, then two in alberta.  whatever the reason, i am inconsolable.

remember when i suddenly became severly allergic to beer? hives, throat closing, epipen, etc.? ok well that went away after about two years. don't lose hope! maybe someday you'll be relaxing on a patio with a tall smooth kitten.
