reasons not to

If you follow me, you may know that recently i had big dreams about adopting a cat. i grew up in a home with a cat. for me it was most common thing in the world to see cat at home, to have cat on my lap in the evenings on the sofa. this is until my adult life, when i was busy with everything else. recently, i started to think and remember things i like and cat was very high on this list. i decided to let myself to want having a cat. i think having cat at home is a bliss. so little it takes and so rewarding. i even got my kids really involved in the project, looking at the pictures of cats and nearly imagining names we would give, IF.
i was lucky enough to hear some opinions about testing it all first. one of my close friends got herself a cat. i got a visit to doctor for allergy test for big boy and about at the same time opportunity came to babysit my friends cat one long weekend.
the project "cat" is now closed. there will be no cat in my home.
it had been two tests, on both kids, both indicating the same. Big boy - blood test: allergic: no cat. Little girl - 3 days with a borrowed cat: panically afraid: we both coudn't bear it: no cat. I imagined it would make me very completely sad, but but in fact i am almost ok and just a little bit sad. we will cuddle with Leo the cat, those who can and want, whenever the opportunity comes.
