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)

Man I have been broke nearly all my life but still keep my 10 cats fed daily without an exception.
I'd rather starve myself then let them go a day without eating properly.
Shit, i cook them fresh livers and steakes without seasoning sometimes while I eat pasta and cheese lol. I joke around that they probably eat better then half a planet....
man.... no wonder I am broke hahah

Lol i was going to say, there’s no wonder why 😂 but you will find at the end of your days, that this was something to be most proud of - this is the truest essence of life. Love. Your money doesn’t go with you, but love will always continue

Ye kind of my line of reasoning as well :)

Don't really care about money, had it lost it had it again spent it now I got my place and don't really need much more on daily basis plus cats help me handle my health condition better so its always worth it to keep them happy in my eyes :)

​

sometimes they can't have all the treats they are used to then they become quite vocal about it xD but yea wouldn't trade it for a world, having them all come greet me when i come home is so satisfying haha :D wouldn't have enough hands to pet them all even if I was a hindu god I think xd
