My firstborn is a 10 year-old rescue cat and I love him to bits.

On our first meeting 6 years ago, he immediately walked over to me and flopped over to show me his belly. <3

We lived together for 2 years before moving to QLD to be with his dad but he listens to me and still follows me around, so I like to think that he loves me as much as I love him.

He has become more affectionate with every year that passes - this year, he has started sleeping next to my head and curling up on my chest! (He's very careful and doesn't step on me too much because I'm soft and react when his paws press down on my boobs lol, but he walks allll over hubby with zero care xD)

He also knows 3 tricks (only performs with wet food though) and he learned to wear the harness 3 years ago so he could go outside, I'm so proud of him!

When I am worrying about the future, looking at him rolling about in the grass reminds me to live in the moment and appreciate what we have in life.

I wasn't a cat person until I got him and I want everyone to know that there ARE loving cats out there!

I hope that his photos will brighten your day!

Edit: Thank you kind peeps! I was feeling quite sus about these charms already and you helped me to see the sad truth. I like these charms because pasta! but I don't appreciate being lied to, so I will get back to the etsy seller.

I wanted to get matching charms for my friend and I as we're both pasta fanatics, but of course my idea came 8 years too late after Pandora released their pasta charm.

I found an Etsy seller (yes, naive I know) who advertised these as new charms and told me in a DM that they were genuine. I bought 2, but one of them arrived with a blurred "9" stamp. When I contacted the seller, they offered to send me a new one without having to return the faulty one and now I am seriously doubting the authenticity of these charms.

Any advice on whether I should request a refund? Or if you own a pasta charm, does it have a certain weight? Or do these seem legit? Please be kind, thank you.
