"Whatever happened to that “Dare the Diner” competition?” asked Mrs Diner one February morning.
I buried my head in my Journal, pretending not to hear.
“Mmm..?”
“You remember, it was Christmas, and you asked your readers to vote for an unlikely place for you to review in 2016. There were all those terrible takeaways and burger joints. And those cat cafés.”
The look of terror must have given it away. My wife knows me too well.
“Oh, so that’s why you didn’t mention it — the cats won!”
I nodded sadly: “By a landslide.”
“Fantastic. I can’t wait to go.”
It’s alright for her: she adores the creatures. For me, I just have to look at one and my nose starts to twitch and my eyes water. I’m allergic to cats. Badly.
