I have this cat laying with me. He doesn’t care about my problems at work. He doesn’t care about Meta and the fediverse. He doesn’t care that Fedia.io’s database is a :dumpster_fire:
He, for some reason, just wants to lay right here. Purring softly. Twitching now and then as he dreams. Apparently feeling safe.
He’s 17. I give him insulin injections twice a day and he has a shaved spot on his back with a glucose meter glued to his skin. Yet he still trusts me.
When I adopted him 17 years ago, he was a wreck. He peed on my couches, pooped on my bed. But he grew out of that.
He and I play games, even still today. i will act scared to see him and back away, and he will start chasing me.
He knows how to ask me for what he wants. I feel like I understand him sometimes.
I’m really am super lucky he put on a show when I was looking for a rescue to adopt all those years ago. He’s been an awesome cat.
