A house divided?

"His house is a brick Queen Anne from the eighteen-eighties, with a shingled turret and a porch; a shaggy creeper covers its back half like a shrugged-off winter coat. Inside, the house is divided into Dog and Cat, the latter the domain of five cats, including a white one named Princess and a blind one that lives in the attic. Dog belongs to an eighty-pound white German shepherd that Gaiman picked up on the side of the road and named Cabal, after King Arthur’s hound."

I thought we were the only ones who had a house divided, ruled by animals. Oh, no. Of course Neil Gaiman's house would be like that.

Read the whole article from the New Yorker.
