I joke. A lot. Mostly at my own expense, but sometimes it's watching the reaction of a cat I'm sitting who is bound and determined to find the cat purring in my phone (Chicot is a hoot, as are her sisters Lucy and Nora).
I lost my own cat nearly seven years ago, and while I haven't gotten to the point where I feel I'm ready to take on another cat or three of my own, it's been healing for me to take care of other people's cats. That's where I am in that particular part of my mental health journey, though I have a long way to go. Still, for now, I'm more than happy to sit Miley, Tomkin, Ollie, Charlie, Dolly Madison, Smokey Joe, Cheeto and whoever else whenever I can.
