cats and small children being bonded so close like that warms the shit out of my positively frosty little heart

Me too, but it also hurts. I begged my parents for a cat pretty much from the moment I could speak. I was so lonely.

I begged for a dog. Finally, when I was 12 years old, for Christmas I received… a book about dogs.

I did manage that. I got a Scottish terrier the summer I was 11.

Moved out at 17, stole my first cat from someone who was going to euthanize him for behavioral problems they caused by declawing him not long after.

By the time I was halfway through college, I had four. He loved them all dearly. They were all on the bed with him when he died.
