My Cat Saved Me

Mourning/Loss

I went through a really dark time years ago, and I was close to giving up. Right when I was about to do it, my cat, who’s usually super quiet now started making a lot of noise, like he’s literally meowing nonstop and knocking his food bowl around.

I realized if I wasn’t here, who would feed him the next day?

So I told myself I’d just hold on a little longer, at least until I could find him a new home.

But then one day turned into another, and I just couldn’t let him go. We kept going like that… and somehow, I’m still here.

He lived for 22 years. Honestly, he stayed with me for so long that I feel like I owe my life to him.
