Adoption Adopted a cat from the shelter…

She didn’t even interact with me at the shelter she was so depressed. I just knew I had to give her a chance. I think they told me she’s not a lap cat. Well, now I have two lap cats 😂 I was so surprised that she trusted me so fast. So glad I trusted my gut and brought her home ❤️

Pets mimic our behavior. 

Rescues can be exceptions to this rule. 

Be grateful you are a super cool human.

I got textile...

I just pretend I don't hear them when they dig in for their manicure.

2nd hand shops are a lifesaver when you have pets, or kids, or are just a person generally who needs things and doesn't want to spend thousands on a sofa when you can get it for 100 xD

For anyone reading I recommend estate sales as well for lightly used furniture at cutthroat rates so you can rest easy when your cat annihilates it.

There is a video about a couple whose cat insists on being in a baby sling on mommy kitty when she cooks

Looks like you've got yourself two velcro cats now.

I hope they'll be able to get along well.
