      A cat won’t judge you on human criteria.

      They’ll judge you as they would a big, awkward, somewhat dumb, and poorly socialised kitten who doesn’t know any better.

      All they’ll ask for is comfort (including food, litter box, and so on), respect (from a cat’s point of view, e.g., don’t look them directly at the eyes, that kind of thing; being allergic to cats, it should come naturally; cats love people who are allergic to cats, you tend to stay out of their way and not bother them when they don’t want to be bothered), and affection (when it suits them).

      If you can’t earn a cat’s trust… you probably shouldn’t be trusted with a dog either, even if the poor brain damaged critter will love you all the same.
