It is a common mistake, I guess, that everybody associates cats with Persians. It is true that Persian cats are famous, but doesn't mean that Persians are all cat-lovers. I am a cat-lover, though, but not when the cat wants me to share my bed with him or her! Well... I am practically in a situation that I have to share not only my bed, but also my husband, my bookshelves, my praying mat and even my keyboard and monitor with the two cats we have here: Gypsy and Bastet.
It is funny how I reacted to John's two female cats when we first discussed the possibilities of me wanting to be his wife 3 years ago. This is part of the saved text chat...unedited, so you should forgive us for the misspellings or grammatical errors (the blank spaces in front of our Yahoo IDs were smileys, but does not show here) I have cut a large section from the beginning, though, since in that section we were talking about chapsticks, Paco de Lucia, and cherries-- not cats!

John : im not too worried about that really
tina r s: ok
John : they always come out with these bogus studies
John : and people seem fine

Now that I read it after all this time, I felt how silly it was of John and I to ever argue about cats...since, well, I ended up loving them anyway (Not at first, though, but recently) and right now that I am posting this blog, Gypsy is laying down over my night gown, on John's chair beside me. She is sleeping and now that I look at her, I feel I love her in a way that I can never let her go anywhere :)
I just took a picture of her. I'll try to post it right away.
