re: #155 klys (maker of Silmarils)

The cat mr. klys had when we started dating was Burmese. He’d gotten her from a friend when she had moved in with her then-boyfriend, who didn’t want cats. Purebred, but had come at a discount because her meow sounded like she had smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years.

I miss her. Even if she did trigger my allergies something fierce when we first started dating. I took a lot of Benadryl those first few months, and then the exposure finally kicked in and I stopped flaring up as much.

Did you see the video of a rescue cat named Tribble? It purred like a Tribble. It was returned by two adopters because the purring freaked them out. She now has a good home and owners who love her purr.
