Accidentally Became a Cat Parent—Twice

So, I was always the person who’d stop to pet every cat on the street, but never actually had one. Fast forward to last month: my friend asks if I can foster a kitten for "just a week." Spoiler alert: the kitten is still here. Plot twist—two days later, a second stray shows up at my door like it got the memo. Now I’m officially outnumbered in my own apartment. My furniture? Scratched. My sleep? Interrupted at 3am zoomies o’clock. My heart? Absolutely stolen. Turns out, you don’t really choose cats. They just kind of show up, eat your snacks, and claim your favorite chair. I always thought having a pet would be a lot, but honestly, it’s the best kind of chaos. If you’re on the fence about adopting, just know: sometimes, you don’t get one cat. You get two, and a whole new definition of home. #CatLife #PetParent #AdoptDontShop #Pets #Cats
