LOL, I saw a lady on Maury one time who would completely lose it when a cat came in the room.......I thought it was bogus! Some phobias crack me up LMAO
Was that the same episode with the lady that was afraid of olives because they reminded her of dead people?? Good episode, lol

Sorry! I don't wanna get off topic here... BPs really are great for all of the reasons listed above, in addition to only having to feed them once a week and the cleanliness factor, cats and dogs can be awfully messy, lol
