Area;
Awwwwwwwww...Wish I could have one. I love cats!, but I'm 'lergic to them. Did you know all domestic cats come from one species out of the mideast?
Is Val short for Valentine??...Ŋє۱Єlєοѕ

I was not aware of this, do you know which species? It would make sense for them to have originated in the middle east though with the ancient Egyptians worshipping them and all. I love cats and have had many my entire life and plan to for the rest of my life as well.
Did you know that they offer genetically engineered cats that will not cause people to be allergic to them? If not then that is good news for you, but the bad news is that the cats cost like 4k.
Val's name is short, but not for Valentine, it is short for Valencia, which is my favorite name to use for my female characters in games I play. I just made her name short since I like having a pets name that is one syllable or maybe two.

Area; Yes, I knew about the hypoallergenic cats (genetically engineered by Allerca, to lack a certain protein in their saliva, the allergen that we humans react to, and that is deposited on the fur (where you just NEED to bury your face...Arrggghhh, ACHOOO!) during their cleaning. The species is the Mideastern Wildcat, Felis silvestris lybica, domesticated about 10,000 years ago (well, sort of: Cats have never been really domesticated, tho' they tolerate humans )and thence introduced from the Fertile Crescent into the Nile Valley (Egypt and surrounds) about 4,000 years ago. TWO CAT JOKES: 1. Q: What's the difference between a cat owner and a dog owner? A: A cat owner's pet buries his fecal material. A dog owner's pet sniffs and rolls around his. 2. If you feed and water a dog, play with and pet it, give it a warm and safe home, the dog will conclude YOU are a GOD. If you feed and water a cat, play with and pet it, give it a warm and safe home, the cat wil conclude IT is a GOD... And a stolen bit from Rudyard Kipling: "He will kill mice and be kind to Babies when he is in the house, just as long as they do not pull his tail too hard. But when he has done that, and between times, and when the moon gets up and night comes, he is the Cat that Walks by Himself, and all places are alike to him. Then he goes out to the Wet Wild Woods or up the Wet Wild Trees or on the Wet Wild Roofs, waving his wild tail and walking by his wild lone" "The Cat That Walked by Himself" ...Ŋє۱Єlєοѕ

My cat's favorite place is on my desk in front of my monitor so I can't see what I am doing. My dog's favorite place is under my desk so that I am forced to put my feet on him.
I agree that the second joke wins.

Sounds like good places for animals to be. My cat likes to get in my way as well, or she will sleep on my desk, no so in my way, or she will sleep by my feet, so I have to remember she is there.
