What I'm Reading

If everyone tells you that you're making the wrong decision… do you believe them, or your heart?

Adopting a pet is a gamble. It's not like buying a bred cat where you know their whole genetic history and potential health problems. When you adopt a cat, you're lucky if you even know how old it actually is. But sometimes, even when you have most of the information, you still don't know how long you're going to have them for. This is a risk we all take - because it's better to have loved and have lost, than to have never loved at all.

The vet told our cat lover below that the kitten she found was too sick, that she was a lost cause, but this pawrent didn't believe them. She saw that she was a fighter and decided to take a leap of faith with this brave little kitten and hope for the best. She woke up to feed her every two hours. She used four different kinds of eye drops to heal her troubled eyes. She didn't give up, and neither did the kitten.

There were many bumps in the road. They had to isolate the cute kitten from their other cat and suffered many sleepless nights. There were many scratches, arguments, and fear of what the next day would bring… but all of those tribulations worked to bring them closer. They formed a bond that only a cat owner and their cat can truly understand. Purrhaps they both feared going to sleep every night, but they had the courage to wake up the next morning and find out, every day, for five years after.

Cats don't wear glasses to see. They wear them to judge. 

Cats don't need glasses. Their vision is already purrfect. They can spot a bug from across the room, hear a treat bag from miles away, and somehow Cats don't wear glasses to see, they wear them to judgeknow exactly when you're about to sit down so they can steal your spot. And yet, give them a pair of glasses and suddenly they're acting like the most well-read whisker scholar in the house.

They'll sit there all still, looking like they're deep in thought, like they've got important meownifestos to write and serious pawlitics to discuss. It's a whole new look. Very put together. Very sophisticated. Like they've got strong opinions on things they definitely don't understand.

Of course, it doesn't last. One second they're serving full purfessor energy, the next they're batting the glasses off their face or trying to chew the frames. The act drops fast. You can't hide that kind of cattitude for long.

Still, they keep coming back to it. Not because they need help seeing, but because they know exactly what they're doing. The glasses aren't for vision, they're for the vibe.

A chubby boy is a good boy…

It's not always easy for a cat to bounce around from owner to owner. It can really weigh on them, and be daunting to adjust to a new home, new way of life, new food, new beds, and new pawrents. But this little chubber did a great job with the transition. Very delicately and decidedly named, "Mr. Kitty," he really does live and breathe a certain type of beauty. They found him over summer after his original owner passed away. He's an incredibly well behaved boy. He used to be quite large, but since his owner's passing he's lost some weight. After taking him to the vet they saw he weighs 12.7 pounds, which the vet said is healthy for his size. His teeth are perfect and he has no underlying health issues. He's about 5-6 years old, and is working on getting his passport for his owners to take him in. He's a cuddler, and they've also built him a climbing wall.

Welcome to the best introverts' house pawrty in town!

Leopards and tigers are strongly solitary, avoiding others outside mating. So at this party, they're already gone. Slipped out the back door before the music started. Octopuses are highly intelligent but prefer isolation. In the house, the octopus finds the most enclosed, dim corner (probably inside a cabinet), quietly opens three jars, and leaves without anyone realizing it was even there. Sloths are low-energy and minimal-interaction sort of creatures. At the party, they're still at the door. Processing. Might attend it next week.

And then you have the introverts' party star of the evening: the domestic cat, who's social on their own terms, but not in groups. The cat will either be hiding in a bedroom on a pile of coats or suddenly appear in the middle of the party, accept attention for exactly 12 seconds, then disappear again. Because that is just the nature of cats, and honestly? We love and accept them exactly for who they are.

You see, "introvert" is a human personality label, so it doesn't fit perfectly in the animal world. But there are species that are naturally solitary, low-social, and easily overstimulated - just like that cat you pet at the party, because you don't have any energy left for the other humans there. Any introvert already knows - the best company is cat company. And when the human function starts, that's the right time to have some cat time.

Losing your cat is hard enough. Having your cat be found by an evil person who wants money more than to help your animal might be even worse. 

We have heard of some horror stories when it comes to neighbors and cats. We have heard of neighbors neglecting their cats then tossing them outside to fend for themselves. We have heard of neighbors stealing cats then refusing to give them back. Anything you can think of, the kind of stories that would break your heart if they ever happened to you, we thought that we have seen it all. Until today.

One of our worst fears as cat owners is our cats running away. We've been there, it's happened to us, and it was pure luck that we managed to find our cats again. The fear we felt over our spoiled little kitties being out there on their own was horrible. It would have been a dream to get the kind of text that this cat owner got. "I think I have your pet". Only for that rescuer to then turn out to be an awful person. 

Texting isn't enough. Words aren't enough. We have to share memes! If you're in love or just like someone, send them these cute cats to show how much you care. You'll melt their hearts, 100% guaranteed.

Some memes speak louder than words. If you're too shy to say it yourself, this is your purrfect opportunity. Don't miss it. It could go surprisingly well! And hey… come and tell me, please. I'd love to know. 

Let these adorable cats do the talking and make your crush's day a little brighter. It's a perfect job for our fluffy little messengers!
