This is my most recent experience and I thought I’d dedicate a few words to this. Today my friend decided he wants to go to Calgary and randomly asked me if I wanted to babysit his cat for a week. So I’ve never met this cat, I’m allergic to cats, my apartment doesn’t allow cats, and my mom dislikes cats. But for some strange reason, I said yes. I know I’m out of my mind. So, I go to grab the cat and all its belongings. Definitely not as glamorous as I thought, this kitty (so cute) is shedding all over me. My black blazer is all of a sudden white. As I struggle to take this cat to the car, its freaking out and trying to jump out cause of all the noise and all the people around.

Finally, get it into the car. We reach my apartment. Crap. How do I take this thing in without anyone seeing? Hold the back door open with my purse; wrap this cat in my blazer and run for the elevator. Finally made it. Now what, its upstairs, my neck is red because I’m incredibly allergic to cats.

I pop a Claritin and it all slowly goes away. What do I do next? Cats have failed to be entertaining, this thing just crawled under my bed, walked around the room, and completely ignored my existence (not taking into account the entire 5 seconds it lay beside me). But that’s it….
