Went to the shelter thinking I'd rescue a cat. Turns out this orange furball had other plans. Day 1: He claimed my bed. I got the couch. Day 7: He's critiquing my Zoom calls from his new perch (my desk). Day 30: I'm buying premium food while eating ramen. Again. But here's the thing – somewhere between his 3am zoomies and judgmental stares when I cry at movies, this little guy became my emotional support system. He somehow knows when I need a purring heating pad on my chest or when to knock my phone out of my hands during a doom-scrolling session. I thought I was saving him, but he's the one who saved me from my own overthinking brain. Now I can't imagine life without his dramatic meowing commentary on everything I do. Best investment ever, even if he's convinced he's the one paying rent. #CatsOfReddit #PetAdoption #CatParent #Pets #Cats
