Meowy Christmas from me and Toes girl!
Yesterday, I had the chance to sit with her on my lap while she sat inside her cat bed. Toes didn’t quite know what to make of it and asked to be let down a couple of times.
I’d put her bed back on the ground so she could get out easily. She’d drink some water and eat food. Then, she’d climb back in her bed, and I’d hoist her back on to my lap. This went on for maybe an hour.
My eyes itched for rest of the night. (I haven’t experienced the Christmas miracle of no more cat allergies.) But it was a worthwhile sacrifice to spend some holiday time relaxing with my girl.

I’m impressed that you have a cat despite your allergy! Merry Christmas!
