i call her girlie and she’s almost 3 and she means the world to me. i was very worried about taking her in, since my parents found her outside in winter as a teen and she’d contracted an illness that still affects her now. but i’m glad i did because she’s so wonderful and i’m so grateful to have her in my life
I found her at a family gathering about 7-8 years ago. The previous lady who was taking care of her & a colony of feral cats moved away, leaving her without a consistent food source. She hung around me the whole day, soaking up the sun from a lawn chair while occasionally stealing some of my mac & cheese. That day I ended up taking her home, now she’s my whole world. Since then, i’ve started studying all things cat (especially feline behavior), working at animal shelters, occasionally fostering, & volunteering at other animal shelters + different pet retention services. She’s taught me so much & has given me the motivation to be better everyday. I don’t know what i’d do or be without her.
on the last big tour ogbert did back in june we all got really into ‘steve mcqueen’ followed by the rest of the prefab sprout discography. we kept saying it was as if the smiths got laid. this one specifically sounds like that.
