Today I saw a puppy in red boots. My goddamn cat has watched me put on boots for 10 years straight and yet she has never shown the initiative to put on boots of her own.

I have (and have had) many pets since I was a wee girl- newts, bunnies, terriers, gerbils, frogs, iguanas, fish, hedgehogs, and I’ve loved each of them with all I’ve got. But over the last few years, I’ve found my truest passion is raising kittens (don’t tell my dogs, who seem 100% sure the cats are just disruptive indignities I must suffer to get back to them.) Kittens are nature’s anti-depressant, the best reality show you’re not watching and a totally inspiring example of the mindfuck that is evolution. I mean, these little creeps have been designed by a Higher Power to look adorably lost, impossibly needy… and then BAM they’re opening all your doors and eating all your salad and looking down at you from the bookshelf like you’re the help in a Downton Abbey sequel. Plus, on a soppy note, a teensy rescue kitten is the example of tenacity we all need- they don’t give up as they go from fetal bird confusion to diabolical emperor. Any opportunity to foster, raise and/or unleash kittens on their next willing fin-dom arrangement is one of my higher callings. At the moment, two young ‘ens are staring at me from a cactus shaped condo in the corner of our bedroom. Another eight year old adoptee/Garfield doppelganger is on a reduced calorie diet upstairs so that he can maintain his heart health and travel in something smaller than the laundry hamper. Look at us! We’re a chic literary salon but I’m the only one who can read (I think. I have one cat who can probably read, she just does it at night when I’m not looking.)

I got a new housemate recently and he brought two cats with him; they're rescues and were very briefly street cats so they're slow to trust people, they've spent a lot of their time staring at me from a safe distance and then running away if I get too close (pippa I'm sorry but if you sit at the top of the stairs while I am at the bottom of the stairs, this is going to happen eventually).
It's been a month of trying to be slow/quiet around them so I don't startle them, offering them toys and treats by showing them what I have in my hand, putting them near them on the ground and then backing up. One of them has been more comfortable with me than the other, always sniffs my hand if I hold it out to her but hasn't been overly fussed About Me, if that makes sense. Well about five minutes ago she was sat meowing outside of my bedroom so I opened the door and held out my hand and she did the headbut into my hand and let me pet her 😭 it felt so nice to feel trusted by her I'm crying
Pictured is the cats, the one you can actually see is Posey, she's the one who trusts me more & let me pet her. Pippa is the one hiding in the back and honestly that sums up their personalities pretty well. (their owner took this picture when they'd been here a day or so)

Realizing I only ever liked "minimalwave" because I was in the bleakest depression of my life. Time to shed this tired flesh and dance to happy robot songs once again.
