Last week, I was running late (as usual) when I spotted a scruffy orange blur under a parked car. Cue dramatic pause: it was a cat, soaked and shivering, giving me the kind of side-eye only true street philosophers possess. I caved, scooped him up, and brought him home, fully expecting chaos. Instead, he immediately claimed my favorite blanket and started purring like a tiny engine. Fast forward: he’s now the undisputed ruler of the apartment, has opinions about my snack choices, and insists on sitting on my laptop whenever I’m working. Sometimes I wonder who rescued who. If you’re on the fence about adopting, let this be your sign. The best roommates are the ones who nap all day and still make you feel like a hero. 10/10, would recommend letting a former ditch-dweller run your life. #AdoptDontShop #RescueCat #PetLove #Pets #Cats
