So, I’ve officially signed up to become a cat parent this weekend. I pick up my new feline overlord on Sunday, and honestly, I’m equal parts excited and terrified. I’ve spent the last week panic-Googling things like “do cats judge you for your playlist” and “how to apologize to a cat if you mess up.” My apartment is now a minefield of cat toys, scratching posts, and enough treats to feed a small lion. I keep asking myself: am I ready for the 3am zoomies? The mysterious staring contests? The existential dread when she ignores me for hours? But hey, maybe she’ll like me. Or at least tolerate me. Either way, here’s to the start of my journey as a clueless, hopeful cat servant. Any advice from seasoned cat people? Send help (and lint rollers). #CatDad #PetAdoption #FirstPet #Pets #Cats
