Cats are awesome, no doubt! And I totally get the appeal of chilling with a furry friend over small talk. But here's a thought: people who want to get to know you are pretty cool too.

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that other humans aren't just NPCs in our personal storyline. They've got their own complex lives, hopes, dreams, and probably some wild stories to share if we give them a chance.Getting to know both the cats AND the people (and dogs too!) can really enrich your life. Each interaction, whether it's with a purring kitty or a fellow partygoer, adds a little something to who you are. So maybe try not to avoid either?

(Unless you're allergic, of course. Then by all means, stick to the non-sneezy option!)
