Normal people's reactions to cats:

NBC

Awwww, how cute! I love cats! Cats are so great!

My reaction to cats:

NBC

Mother. Of. God.

Going to a friend's house for the first time is basically like playing Russian Roulette.

There's a pretty good chance that you're going to die.

When you meet a fellow victim of this feline curse:

WE ADDED ONE TO THE WOLFPACK, Y'ALL.

Sleepovers growing up were always high-risk situations.

NBC

No, you did NOT mention that you had four cats before I came over...but that's cool. I'll just hold my breath...for the next 12 hours.

When you go to a friend's house who you know has a cat but you forgot to take your allergy medicine:

NBC

"Okay okay okay...don't freak out. Maybe her parents have some."

When they don't have said medicine:

NBC

See you on the other side.

When people say "allergies aren't real":

NBC

Does the fact that my eyes are swollen shut change your mind at all??? No? OK.

When you have a reaction despite what the haters say:

NBC

The night after a reaction you definitely deserve some pampering.

NBC

When a cat owner invites you to pet their cat:

NBC

Um. No.

"Why don't you get a hairless cat?"

NBC

Is that a f****** joke?!

JUST LEAVE ME ALONE WITH MY POODLE.
