So one of my kids is highly allergic to cats, but really wants a pet cat. I thought a good solution would be to get a cat girl. My wife is not totally thrilled by the idea, but I'm sure I could convince her. What are your thoughts?

Edit: ok it seems like we've got a lot of haters in the comments. If any actual cat girls want to weigh in...

The only good part of Reddit was dumb shit like this not showing up on my feeds.

I don't think we came from the same Reddit.

Sounds like you're about to speedrun a divorce and have to pay for your kids therapy and be put on a list that prevents you from from going near where children are.

Isn't that slavery? Unless she gets a salary I guess? Would she be living with you full time? I don't understand. Is your kid only allergic to male cats? I don't understand.

A cat girl, not a girl cat.

This clarified nothing.

Is this some anime plot ?

It's 23:59. I have no idea if I am already asleep or not, and reading this doesn't quite help it.

Just in case this isn't a bit: OP, the structure in English should be "adjective noun." The opposite to most romantic languages where you say the noun then the description word. So a cat girl is a girl (assumed human) that can be described as a cat (has the traits of a cat). A girl cat is more reasonably a cat that is a girl, though you'd probably say "female cat" more often. For allergies you'd want to look into hypoallergenic cats like the hairless sphynx.

I'm aware of how the English language is structured, thank you.

you don't know what's a catgirl?

[โ€“] Susaga@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 year ago

They were being kind and assuming there was a miscommunication.

[โ€“] livus@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think OP is under the delusion that female cats are more hypoallergenic, but you should probably google cat girl.

[โ€“] GammaGames 4 points 1 year ago

You should definitely google cat girl

It's actually the saliva that makes people allergic. And since cat girls tend to lick everyone and everything it wouldn't improve the situation.

As an actual catgirl, you are fucking insane
