I mean, my own cats will sometimes make my eyes water and my nose to stop up. But I don't mind too much.
I'm glad you liked the story. My Houdini is a champion hider. His favorite is to pull open the drawers in my tall dresser by pawing at it, crawling into the drawer and then either climbing from there into the upper drawers, where he scares the ever loving crap out of me when I open them, or down to curl up at the bottom. I can usually tell by one of the drawers being slightly ajar.
