I grew up in a household where we were only allowed to have dogs as pets. My mother was (and still is) highly allergic to cats. I had several friends who owned cats, and I loved going over to their houses to play with the cats especially kittens. When I moved out of the house, I really wanted to get my own cat, but my mom kept saying she could never come over to my house if I got a cat. So, I didn't get one for several, long years. When I got married, my husband and I decided to get a dog. I grew up with owning them, but my husband never did. He had cats! He thought dogs were too much work. Eventually, the dog we adopted got really ill and passed away suddenly. I really missed her and wanted a pet. We decided to get a cat, two as a matter of fact! I love them! I am totally a cat person! My dream has come true. When my mom does visit, she can only be in my house for 2 minutes, and she can't breathe. So, it is a very short visit!
