My Cat is More Famous than I

This afternoon, my friend André, who house and cat sat for me over the Christmas holidays (I was truly spoiled), took me to a triple birthday party of friends of his. I didn't know anyone there and the introductions went something like this:

André: I'd like to present Karen to you.
New Friend: Hi Karen, Nice to meet you. (starts moving on).
André: Wait, Karen is Felix's mother.
New Friend: Ah! Felix. Oh KAREN! Hi Karen, Hi! How are you? How is Felix? Is Felix fine? Can we come see Felix?

Repeat scenario.

Repeat again.

Repeat one more time.

I'm being upstaged by my cat!! Ah well, he is is rather a charmer!
