Wow, this was in the town of White Settlement, TX where a resolution to change the name to "West Settlement" was rejected by a 90% vote in 2005. Interestingly, it is only 52+ white.

Well, I guess the name triggered more foreigners than town locals
Or maybe it's just a big ol waste of time and money to fully rename a town.
I thought it said "ousts" at first. I was impressed.
Congrats you pretty kitty

Fuck me and my allergies. I guess I didn't need to use the library anyways.
That is indeed a valid point. But wouldn't you be willing to die for this adorable little fella ?
I mean it's not the hill I die on lol, it's a minor allergic reaction and I have what I need at home.
I'm just saying that not wanting a cat in a public funded place isn't really meme material IMO, is a pretty tame request.
Not wanting a aninal that can cause allergic reactions in a public place is absolut common sense. This is in part what makes this a good meme, I think.
You'll be fine. My girlfriend is a allergic to cats but she's had one in the house for over a decade now.
Just admit that the real reason is because you don't like cats, and being allergic to them is a convenient excuse.
People have different severity of allergies.
