You are incorrect, my good sir, that was the truth.
The lie was the 2nd proposition : my cat is way too respectful to bite my feet.
As for the meeting, it was a mass meeting with 80 people where the guy explained a routine that I already knew but needed to validate. When it comes to my case instead of questioning me like he did for everybody else (and I was unsurprisingly at the bottom of the list considering my luck), the dude says "okay, you're good". End of story. 90+ minutes wasted.
