My cat howling like he was hurt downstairs, he was just offended that he could see the bottom of his bowl. Fed him and sat next to him crying as he paid me no mind and chomped away.

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
