"  Whenever you visit your friend&amp;#039;s house, she lets her cats roam freely -- even though you&amp;#039;ve made it clear that you&amp;#039;re allergic to pet dander. How to handle this situation the next time your friend invites you over?  1) Suggest she come to your house or arrange to meet at a coffee shop. 2) Tell her you&amp;#039;d like to come over, but she&amp;#039;ll need to put the cats in another room because of your allergy. 3) Bring your poodle with you, so the cat won&amp;#039;t come out.  The correct answer: (1) It&amp;#039;s unfortunate that your friend hasn&amp;#039;t taken the hint about her cats and your allergies. The next time she invites you over, opt for an alternative location: your house or a nearby restaurant or coffee shop. If she asks about the change in venue, kindly say: &amp;quot;To tell you the truth, the cats are just murder on my allergies! I think I&amp;#039;ll be able to enjoy our visit more if we meet here.&amp;quot; Chances are, even if she put the pets away, the dander would still bother you. So an off-site location really is your best bet. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
