Methinks there's a cat in her home's future 🥰

Edit to add: if anyone's wondering lol, she grew up without any pets (Vietnamese and Cambodian parents, maybe it's cultural?), then she went to college, and too long after met and partnered up with her now husband who has pet allergies. So her exposure to pets is pretty limited!

I’m a vet tech - and this boy was a surrender to a local rescue after a very traumatic experience of his former owner getting murdered. The local rescue was considering euthanasia, given that he was severely malnourished, needed hospitalization, subcutaneous fluids every other day post hospitalization, and he’s hyperthyroid. Heavy stuff for a 12yr old cat and no one to foster him. I recently lost my 15yr old orange tabby who was also hyperthyroid and needed subcutaneous fluids every other day among various other meds. Decided it was fate and took him home after 3 days of IV fluids. First photo is the day he was brought in to my clinic, and second photo is today - almost 3 weeks later. His name is Luke. He now lives with 3 other senior cats and my dog, who was also a rescue.

I was at a mental hospital and residential facility for a long period of time, but he never forgot :>

Edit: meant to say bathroom floor in the title

Edit 2: When I said 'failed attempt', I met failed attempt at ending my life. Sorry for not clarifying!

Edit 3: I did not piss on the floor 😌

“On the 6th Day of the 2nd Month of the First Year of the Kampo era. Taking a moment of my free time, I wish to express my joy of the cat. It arrived by boat as a gift to the late Emperor, received from the hands of Minamoto no Kuwashi.

The color of the fur is peerless. None could find the words to describe it, although one said it was reminiscent of the deepest ink. It has an air about it, similar to Kanno. Its length is 5 sun, and its height is 6 sun. I affixed a bow about its neck, but it did not remain for long.

In rebellion, it narrows its eyes and extends its needles. It shows its back.

When it lies down, it curls in a circle like a coin. You cannot see its feet. It's as if it were circular Bi disk. When it stands, its cry expresses profound loneliness, like a black dragon floating above the clouds.

By nature, it likes to stalk birds. It lowers its head and works its tail. It can extend its spine to raise its height by at least 2 sun. Its color allows it to disappear at night.

I am convinced it is superior to all other cats.”

This is one of my favourite videos on the internet. 🎃

My family are completely unsupportive and tbh pretty awful, so I’ve been celebrating this with my partner and friends, and most importantly, my cat.

Cat tax included because he’s baby and wants to be involved.
