    I opened the door one day and there he was. He looked up at me, meowed hungrily and put a paw up the doorway.

      How I got my last one. One-eyed, starved, raggedy assed cat just sitting there, asking for help.

      The cat distribution system is broken in my area. There are almost no strays, we were “hunting” for one for a couple of months until we decided to go to a petsmart to adopt our boy

        The prevalence of coyotes and other predators in my rural mountain town means that there are effectively zero strays around me. We had to drive an hour plus from our house to a shelter at the closest “big” city to adopt our latest.

      I just got one that way, sweet little thing. Already had one cat, that my daughter begged and pleaded for, said “no” because we have 2 dogs already, finally relented on the condition that, “if the dogs kill the cat, you can’t hold it against them because dogs are gonna dog, and they were here first.”

      One dog absolutely fell in love with the cat and they’re inseparable now, and the other dog didn’t give a fuck either way. Then suddenly door cat shows up and adorabled its way into our lives…

          Incredibly apt too lmao. I was not a cat person whatsoever, treacherous self-centered critters. I had no use for them. But I’ll be damned if they ain’t fucking cute and lovable once you let your guard down lol.
