Lost One Cat, Gained a Tiny Chaos Goblin

I swore off pets after my old cat passed away. Fifteen years together, and honestly, I didn’t think I could handle that heartbreak again. Fast forward a few months, and the universe had other plans: a scrappy, meowing furball appeared in my backyard, abandoned and demanding attention like he owned the place. I tried to resist. I really did. But the little guy was relentless. Now, my house is basically his playground, and my heart? Yeah, he’s claimed that too. I still miss my old kitty, but this new dude—Riki—has a way of making every day a little brighter (and a lot more chaotic). Turns out, sometimes you don’t choose your pets. They just show up, take over your life, and remind you that love can sneak up on you when you least expect it. Here’s to Riki, the unplanned roommate I never knew I needed. #PetRescue #CatLife #AdoptDontShop #Pets #Cats
