 Almost everyone who knows me that I am a huge cat lady, but not too many really know why! The credit squarely belongs to my cat, Oliver.
It was October 2020 when I first brought Oliver home, I didn't realize then just how much he would change my life for the better. Before I got him, I felt so lost in my life, depressed, anxious, and many more negative emotions and feelings. Certainly after the passing of my mom in 2010, I had a huge hole left in my heart. It wasn't until I adopted a kitten that I realized part of that hole was cat-shaped! In my early days as a cat mom I learned that having something to love and care for was just what I needed. The responsibility of looking after a living being gave my life purpose and direction. But it is more than just caring for my Oliver, it is also about how he has cared for me in the past almost three years. Even to this day, Oliver seems to have this knack for knowing precisely when I need him and his little sandpaper kisses. I truly believe that we share an incredibly deep connection that just cannot be put into words. It is like we have our own secret, non-verbal language, we cannot sleep without each other near, we always eat our meals sitting together, we suffer separation anxiety from each other, and we just have nothing but love for each other. If that isn't a kitty soul mate, I don't know what is.
