Inherited a Cat, Gained a Shadow

So, my aunt moved to another country and left her cat behind. I figured, how hard could it be? Turns out, adopting a pet with a backstory is a whole journey. This cat—let’s call her Queenie—acts like she owns the place (she probably does). At first, she ignored me, then she started sleeping on my laptop, and now she’s my unofficial therapist. There’s something weirdly comforting about having a creature around who doesn’t care about your deadlines or existential crises. She just wants food, a sunbeam, and the occasional head scratch. It’s like we’re both figuring out this new chapter together. If you’ve ever inherited a pet, you know it’s not just about feeding them—it’s about building trust and finding comfort in unexpected places. Honestly, I think Queenie’s rescuing me as much as I rescued her. #PetAdoption #CatLife #NewBeginnings #Pets #Cats
