Tough crowd! If I bribed them it was with cuddles. My cousin took a picture but she needs to develop the film before I can post it.
Ones a fat cat who loves anyone who can feed her. One is a very snotty cat who hates life and will only be petted on the head. One is a year old who plays with everything that moves. And the last is a sweet shy cat who stayed under the bed for the first two days I was here, my cousin is amased that I made friends with her (she likes being brushed more than any cat alive).
We gave all of them baths yesterday and the baby scrached me but they all didn't keep their grudges for long.
Pretzel (the shy one) and HEather (the fat one) even sleep with me. The baby slept with me last night and only Binkie (the brat) hasn't, bust she doesn't sleep with anyone, she doesn't even like to be petted.
Awwwwwwwwwwwww.............

Osso, didn't I hear something about Corgis and allergies? It's waay at the back of my mind... Like for some reason they don't trigger allergies, or not as much as other doggies... Poodles, too, are supposed to be good that way, because they don't shed...
Anyhow, I'm allergic too, and have had katz all my adult life. Usually they don't bother me too much (at least not so I'd quit feeding them) but my sister had a cat that absolutely drove me wild. Face all red, kleenexes left and right, eyes awash...
Interesting you say that, Wy. My ex and I had an irish setter for ten years, back around the eighties, and I was very allergic, went into allergy tharn when we washed him and generally avoided petting him very much. But I love dogs and hadn't had one since. So when I moved here, I kept my eye out for a smaller dog I might like, and it happened that the temporary rental appartment across the street was blessed with a corgi presence for a few months. I made friends, sort of, through the chain link fence, calling the mad barker Sparky. I thought I could handle one of those.
A few months later there was a picture of a corgi in the Humane Society ad, and my business partner called me about it. I went to check it out and came out of there saying yes to the little mister beefy, and lying on the application about allergies to dogs since I knew I could live with him. It turns out my lie worked out as I am Not allergic to Pacco, or perhaps very very slightly, again after giving him a bath.
I have not heard of corgis being nonallergenic, but have been told that about poodles fairly often. I've been wildly allergic to someone else's poodle, so I have my doubts.
It is all very individual. One of the reasons I have Siamese (as well as having always been fascinated by them ever since I first read about them) is because I am not allergic to them (though any little scratches still come up in huge welts) - I AM wildly allergic to moggies - you know, the common domestic cat.
I have a number of friends, sadly, who are wildly allergic to Siamese, while they can cope with moggies. Generally, Siamese cause less allergies. Why? They are all cats. I had one friend who was spectacularly allergic to one of my cats - hasn't been to subsequent ones.
Allergies are just plain weird.
Aaack! I see I managed to repeat a lot of last year's post, which I hadn't scrolled back to see. At least I am consistent.
