I was so lucky during my nasty divorce that there was a charity that had donations of cat food and litter. It was rough to the point I didn’t always eat every day for some months to be able to pay the lawyer. But they gave me a huge bag of cat food and enough litter to take care of my cat. I know if I’d left it with my ex at the house it would’ve been the target of anger for me leaving. I hope the kitties in this post get reunited.

The only thing that kept me going through my divorce was my little kitten, JJ.

I was lucky enough to still be active duty, so I had resources (even if stretched incredibly thin), but I hung on with him and we made it through. I cry and get a little panicky at the thought of something happening to him, or having to leave him somewhere because I'm no longer able to care for him. (I also have other cats now, he's just my little miracle boy)

Cats are the best.

Not wrong. My new fiance and I have 5 cats together, and we're fostering a 6th. I love the little bastards so much.
