<p>Funny pet story/legend from my years:</p>
<p>A student decided that she wanted to have her cat with her on campus. One day, the cat apparently got dirty and needed a bath, so she took it to the kitchen and proceeded to wash the poor feline in the sink. An RA happened by in the middle of this process and saw the now-wet cat being bathed. The RA asked the student what animal it was. The student, panicking but trying not to get caught with an illegal pet, hastily replied, “It’s a dog.”</p>
<p>Moral of the story: if you’re going to keep a forbidden pet, don’t try to pass it off as another forbidden pet. (I’ve never been sure about how much of this story was embellished, but the essentials are quite possibly true.)</p>
