That raises a number of questions:

– What the hell did the cat throw up that could even look a little bit like semen?

That is really the only question.

Something is amiss in your house. You have a pet. Why did you not immediately suspect/blame the pet? It's always the pet.

Agreed, but "schizo uncle" instead of "pet"

Yesterday my dog picked a fight with a snake and I nearly had a heart attack because if it bit her it would have killed her, no question.

Luckily it was more interested in running the gently caress away than fighting back against the idiot terrier who woke it up from a sun nap. Schadenfreude on the poor snake, the stupid dog, and me, I guess.

Cats can throw up on an empty or near empty stomach, and they just hack up some white semi-clear stomach fluid. It's gross but not as gross as full on kitty spew.

I know this because our cat gets too goddamn anxious in the morning waiting for us to feed him, and he'll hack up "nothing" on occasion.

Oh that. I'll reveal my goonity and say no, that doesn't really look like semen. It's semi-clear & kinda viscous, yes, and so is human spit. Human stomach-acid, probably too?

I just mean if I'm sleeping in my apartment with my partner and there's suddenly a gross patch on the sheets? It's more likely one of us than it is a serial masturbator or the cat, lol. I wanna live in a place where cat puke makes me call the cops.

Yeah it's absolutely a story of "idiot person jumps immediately to the worst conclusion possible". Having said that, my cats have definitely yakked up some cat yak that a very perfunctory examination might mistake for jizz if you had no sense of smell and the light was bad.

She doesn't cut in front (those two "lawyers" are done & leaving). The two other dudes have set up there to pick pockets, though. They don't even pretend to get ready as the queue moves, and then the classic bum a smoke->leave for the guy with the stash.

Hypoallergenic pets are a myth. I can't overstate how allergic I am. If I had a dime for every time a school friend's parents deep cleaned their house so I could come over, and I'd have to leave sooner than I'd like, I could prolly pay the adoption fees for a bunch of animals.

My parents said they both had allergies to dogs and cats, but it faded growing up and if I just waited it out, I'd be fine. Nope.

Eh, it's not the food impaction that bothers me about potentially giving my kid Eosinophilic Esophagitis that bothers me, it's all the other stuff.

Like, I can deal with having something I have to get checked out yearly to make sure it hasn't turned to cancer, it's knowing I risk subjecting a kid to that? That just really sucks, especially when EE is known so little that the odds of medicine knowing more anytime soon is gently caress-all.

I know that pet ownership isn't all lollipops and rainbows, but having pets seems awfully fulfilling.

Working from home has let me catch up on a lot of sleep, as my cat has always had a habit of meowing outside my door at 2-4 AM, since she apparently needs someone to accompany her to her food bowl and stroke her while she eats.

On the upside, I've never missed my morning prayers since.

Whoever wrote that article doesn't seem to have bothered actually looking up the definition of "hypoallergenic":

hypoallergenic hy·po·al·ler·gen·ic (hī'pō-āl'ər-jěn'ĭk)
adj.
Having a decreased tendency to provoke an allergic reaction.

The American Heritage® Stedman's Medical Dictionary


So, yes, myth intact; hypoallergenic pets are exactly what everybody claims them to be (according to that very article).
