hi y'all, just wanted to give a glimpse into my existence with my soul cat, Kitty.

while I may not have been with her since the beginning, or long at all in the scheme of things, in a short matter of time she stole my heart and changed my world forever.

Kitty was adopted out of the shelter at 15-16 years old after her previous owner had passed away. She had found new owners and was brought back to the shelter around when i moved into the area, and fell in love with her immediately after seeing her intake pics. She was eating her wet food out of one of those small paper boats you'd get fries in at the county fair when i first met her, and immediately came to greet me as anxious as she was; much like those greasy fries or a funnel cake, Kitty clogged my heart and long story short, she went from a foster to adopted very quickly.

She came into my life during such chaos the whole thing still feels like a breeze; i had just dipped my toes into a new career and moved into a new apartment. Kitty filled that tiny shit hole with so much love. I didn't mind the fact the place was falling apart for what it was worth, for the facts that: she was comfortable, she had her huge windows to sunbathe in, and she had her own space for me to put those bright ass CatTV bird videos on while I slept. I still miss her bug eyes at 4am leaving for work.

If energy can't be created or destroyed, I like to believe she's still here with me in some way. As long as someone thinks about her, she's still here.

Miss you my skronkie girl, the cuts on my arm from you biting me after too many belly rubs or from trying to clip your dragon claws might have healed, but my heart will forever be scarred without you.
