Status Updates From Cat

Toby! What a lovely chapter

“Sure, cats won’t fetch or sit or roll over, save circus cats on the internet, who I am convinced are on drugs.”

Tell that to my two cats who know how to sit!! And one of them plays fetch but only of her own volition.

“For as long as I can remember, I have feared punishment. When I am happiest, I am also waiting for the other shoe to drop. I am certain I do not deserve it. The more I love something, the more I fear it will be taken away.”

100% relatable

“I watch Instagram reels from pet shelters every day, listening to the mews of friendly feral cats, kittens found in alleyways, abandoned pets. They are the most reliable way to make myself cry. Is there anything more painful than to be left, to be unloved? I identify, obviously enough, with these cats.”

I read this this afternoon and need to immediately re-read it. Review shortly! 😻
