They were just supposed to be temporary

Met Princess Doughnut and Mordecai three weeks ago. They were supposed to be a quick foster situation - just until they found their forever homes. Doughnut immediately claimed my favorite chair and somehow convinced me SHE was doing ME a favor by gracing it with her presence. Mordecai? This guy figured out how to open cabinet doors in 48 hours. My snack stash was never safe again. Now I'm sitting here watching Doughnut knead my laptop keyboard (goodbye, important emails) while Mordecai's purring so loud I can't hear my own thoughts. The adoption applications are sitting on my desk, but every time I look at them, my chest gets tight. When did 'temporary' become 'I can't imagine my life without you'?

How I Became the Accidental Cat Magnet

Four years ago, I thought I was a dog person. Fast forward to today: I’ve somehow fostered, adopted, or rescued twelve cats. Twelve. That’s not a typo. It started with one stray kitten who showed up on my doorstep during a thunderstorm. I thought, "Sure, I can handle this." Next thing I know, word got out (among cats, apparently) that my apartment is the local feline Airbnb. Each cat came with its own drama—one shredded my curtains, another decided my laptop was a bed, and a third had a vendetta against houseplants. But every goodbye (to a new forever home) felt like a tiny heartbreak and a tiny victory. I’m still not sure if I’m saving them or if they’re saving me from my own loneliness. If you ever feel like your life is too predictable, try fostering a cat. Or twelve. Just be ready for the chaos—and the love. #CatLife #PetRescue #FosterFail #Pets #Cats

Said I'd Foster Them for 3 Days

Said I'd foster two kittens for "just three days" while the shelter found them homes. That was eight months ago. Now I'm the crazy cat person I swore I'd never become. My bank account weeps from vet bills and premium food. My furniture looks like it survived a tiny tornado. I wake up with a furry paw in my face every morning. But watching them grow from scared, tiny fluffballs into confident, mischievous troublemakers? Worth every shredded curtain. The way they comfort me after bad days, or how they play-fight then immediately cuddle together? I used to judge people who "failed" at fostering. Turns out I'm not immune to those big kitten eyes and tiny purrs. My foster failure is complete, and honestly? Best mistake I ever made. Pro tip: Don't foster unless you're prepared to gain permanent roommates. #Pets #Cats #FosterFail
