remembering my sweet idiot tonight

Twelve years ago‚ I found this sweet, beautiful cat in the shelter. I now volunteer weekly at that same shelter‚ and work at a veterinary hospital‚ but to this day I’ve never seen a cat that looks quite like her. The shelter had named her Bugsy‚ I can only assume due those big ol round, curious eyes of hers. She was a huge cuddlebug‚ always burrowing down under my blankets at night and climbing into my lap or up on my shoulders while I did homework. Loved to talk (closer to screaming sometimes…). It’s been a year since she passed‚ having lived a nice 17 years‚ twelve of which were spent being spoiled to the highest degree‚ of course. This being my first winter holidays without her in a long while‚ I’ve been thinking of her every day. Scrolling through this sub‚ seeing how much everyone loves their own kitties‚ reminds me of the good times with her and has healed my heart a bit. I just wanted to share my beautiful baby with you all‚ I hope that’s okay. She changed my life and comforted me through some tough years‚ and I’ll miss her forever. Hope you enjoy the silly pictures‚ thanks guys! :)
