The are few things that feel more validating to me than to have 2 cats that have decided I'm the best human on the planet. I didn't grow up with cats, but I've always loved them. My ex hated them 😒 so I didn't have a chance to have my own until we moved here. It's the greatest.

Rick is nighttime buddy. He is the low man in the pack of 4, the other 3 being female who are half his size and a dog. The kids make him nervous and he's never really gotten attached to my long-time cat-person partner. I am the sole recipient of his bed-rumbling purrs and his sharp-clawed hugs and his intense reciprocal grooming when he gets butt skritches. He's the orangest!
Becky is my OG. She has a pretty severe flea allergy,and when I met her at the shelter she was this little half-bald post partum ball of nervous love. She purrs like a cricket and just did figure 8s around my legs any time I went into her pen. We were looking for a pair of playful young cats to keep our farmhouse mice in check. She'd been at the shelter for too long because she was bald and bony after a bad flea infestation and a healthy litter of street kittens. There was no question she was coming home with me (and then Carmella earned her spot after she dead-eyed a pittie that was heading home after a stay at County for killing a cat). She's a cat that doesnt like to be held or contained, but she's intensely affectionate wedged she chooses to be. She'll let the kids stroke her in small doses. she mothered Flower with dedication. She wrestles with our high prey drive anxious dog. She has the most adorable and distinctive of set of sounds. But she only relaxes and sleeps with me.
