Earlier this week, my brother knocked on my door to show me something; he opened his phone and showed me a picture of a white cat…I was like okay? It’s a cat, after all he does work at a pet store. Turns out that cat is my OLD cat, Patches. I had Patches for three or four years, I’m not exactly sure but had to get rid of him along with my other cat Pudge when we moved a year ago. We had gotten Patches from a local no kill pet shelter when I realized that Pudge - who I had gotten as a kitten - needed a friend. Patches was sitting in his cage, meowing away and I feel in love with him. It broke my heart when my mom told me she wouldn’t let me take either of them to the new apartment last year…I had Pudge since he was a kitten, I bottle fed him - he was my baby and Patches I had grown attached to also. Pudge ended up going with an elderly man that my mom knew from church and Patches was taken back to the shelter; it just hurts to see him still up for adoption after a year, he was a good cat and I really hope he finds a home one day.

Seeing him at the pet store makes me want another pet, I miss having one. I really would like to have a small dog, but mom won’t allow any pets because she doesn’t want to end up taking care of them, cleaning up after them or paying the $200 pet deposit. It also sucks because I can’t really get a pet, dog or cat, because of going off to school in the Fall - I wouldn’t be able to bring them with me. I thought about getting some fish and starting up nice fish tank but eh, that stuff cost so much. I just miss having a pet!
