A Little Bit

Le Lapin is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. So far I have yet to find any placebo or remedy for my cat allergy*. I adore them, and most of them seem to be fond toward me. Alas, my immune system doesn’t like cats, and not more than a day before my eyes are puffy, red, throat itchy, and body exhausted. Hearing the sweet mew of the cat while everyone was away, made me cave, inviting the fluffy beauty in. I offered her some mackerel and water, and let her snuggle behind my legs. What could be the harm? Now when I return home, the cat is looking for me. Innocently, not being able to do anything about the way what she is makes me allergic, and me not being able to do anything to resist wanting to let the cat in. Animals aren’t supposed to be left alone either. Perhaps someone else won’t be allergic to her someday, and I hope she doesn’t take my distance personally. *for some reason Norwegian forest cats and Siamese cats seem to be less immune reaction inducing. Perhaps allergies are about our ancestry…. Thank you for reading Le Lapin. This post is public so feel free to share it. Sorry for all the buttons…apparently even Substack can have glitchy days, where the point, click, delete, functions do not properly work. It’s just technology and not the end of the world, right?
