One of my current housemates is the lovely Cipote. A. wrote me about him before I arrived. "He only likes women," she wrote, "He becomes very jealous of men." Luckily for me, I fit the description. It was love at first sight. When I'm sitting, he'll jump on my lap and sit there, on guard. Yesterday in the late afternoon, I was re-making my way through my old Portugues para Estrangeiros textbook and he snuggled with me on the couch. I fell asleep with one hand holding the closed book and one hand on Cipote. A. came in a little while later, dressed for the gym and asked me if I was ready to go, saying I could just stay there if I wanted. "I think I better go," I replied, "Or I'll stay here all evening."
