Somehow thinking about my cat hits me harder than thinking about my parents. They're great people, I have no reason for this preference, but like, I couldn't make my cat understand what happened to me. Aw fuck I'm tearing up.

I didn't have a cat until last year.

I didn't plan on having a cat or any pet.

Up until 3 years ago, I had had dogs for most of my life until i had to have my last one put to sleep.

Then she showed up as a 6 month old skinny kitten in the garden - meowing outside at me when i came home. I fed her and that was it. Now I would live for her

Black and white cat in pictures is my housemates cat

I’m convinced nobody intends on getting a cat. the universe just decides you have one. I found my fur savior as a kitten chasing a rat twice his size behind a job I hated lol

I've only ever happened upon 1 kitty. He'll be 5 this summer. The others were on purpose. But I love all the kitties
