cats at my school

so just a heads up, my parents and family really hates cats (bcs they carry diseases apparently) so i never really got to pet, hold, or even touch a cat in my entire LIFE. only when i got to my new school, i found that cats there were really popular since there were many around the area. there was a box of kittens outside my classroom last year, but they got moved to the girl's dormitory. whenever we have swimming classes (wich i don't participate in) there will always be 2 or 3 cats near the swimming pool, so i always get excited when we have swimming lessons, since i get to play with cats on that day :3 my parents don't know that theres cats in my school so hopefully they wont know until i graduate because being with cats really makes me happy
