One of the cats decided that she liked me very much and took up residence on my lap (until we had to go through security and proceed to our gate. I got the impression that the cats weren't allowed in--there certainly weren't any inside the gate area. Though as a different Rhonda pointed out, how would they really stop them?)<br /><br />It was one of the nicest waits I've ever had in an airport. More airports should have cats (though of course B would seriously disagree with that comment. Pity about the allergies...).Rhondanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-59879588379031790072010-06-08T22:15:38.553+00:002010-06-08T22:15:38.553+00:00Margo makes the rules and she doesn't allow th...<i>Margo makes the rules and she doesn't allow the other cat in the lounge. The cat makes the rules.

I kind of like cats. They can make you feel appreciated when you're around, and they're nice and soft to touch, but they can take care of themselves. You can associate with a cat without taking on any responsibility. I meet so many cats during my travels that I may implement Caturday around here.Aviatrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634111275860140084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-12182991607903262292010-06-05T14:12:42.328+00:002010-06-05T14:12:42.328+00:00I had predicted that the next entry would feature ...I had predicted that the next entry would feature a photo of Margo.
