Awww. Hi Daisy!!🌼

This is well written, as usual, Brian! Love the story and also can’t believe the hoops you have to jump through to adopt a cat today. When I was young, I also adopted most of my cats from a cardboard box or from someone who found a cat, and so on. I had 3! And they were all so different. One was like “leave me alone”, the other was like “let me swat you in the face” and my favorite slept with me every night, always wanted to snuggle, and I named my little sister after her. 😹

You must be dad of the month!

I literally cracked up at “I’m going to get a goddamn cat.” Such good writing Brian, so good-thanks for sharing.

Great writing! Cats are the best, I have 8 all strays - people dump them at our farm. We’ve had 14 in all. They each have different personalities.

Thanks, Collette. My sister has 5 and thinks we need two more at a minimum :)

I agree!

Daisy! This might be the writing that convinces me (a lifelong dog owner) to consider adopting a cat. Don't tell my husband.

Cats changed my life, so much so I now can't imagine it without them. And Daisy looks so much like my first cat, my firstfound, my alpha and omega. Cats! 😻
