A Cat?

I am mortified...shocked...dejected.  Last night the Vet called to talk with the woman about my health.  I overheard the conversation.   The woman kept referring to me as a "cat".  "Bob has similar symptoms as a few of my other CATS who have inflammatory bowel disease," she said.  What is wrong with her?  Has she lost her mind?  Is it not obvious that she and I are the same?  I do not know exactly what she is, but I am the same as her.  I am NOT like those simple cats that live here.  I am her soulmate and she is mine.What on earth shall I do?  How do I get her to see that I am unlike any other?
