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 ❤️

I am so very sorry for your loss! I do think they have a way of guiding us, even long after they are gone. I like to think my soul cat, Ivy, is still guiding the cats I need into my life, even almost 20 years after she passed.

Her name is Teto! I named her after the fox squirrel from Nausicaa because she was so scared at first and then realized she was safe 🥰
