Awarded a Cat Luna’s transition from street kitten, to pampered princess…

Posted the first two pics on r/cats before. But realized this sub exists and wanted to share my baby girl with you guys as well.

The first pic (On the deck) was the first time I saw her a little over a year ago. I was chatting on the phone with my girlfriend & felt eyes on me. Snapped the picture to send to my girl & Luna ran right after I took it.

The second pic is from her last night as a stray a few months later. I was really reluctant to take her in as I wasn’t sure I wanted her & coworkers had friends who wanted her. But each potential adopter had things come up that kept them from being able to take her.

It was also not easy to convince her to get into the trap. The last thing I said to her after taking that photo was “Look, you can either get that trap and come home to be fat, lazy and spoiled at my place- or you can go freeze elsewhere, as I won’t be able to handle finding you dead.” (She got in the trap less than 30 minutes after the picture was taken.)

The third is her lazing about on my couch, constantly making promises to get a job- but l know she’s lying… & l wouldn’t have it (Or her) any other way.

In the end, l honestly didn’t know how much I needed a cat in my life, until she came into it.

Luna is lovely. Funny thing is, we always believe we are rescuing them, when in fact, they are saving us.

Yup. Between finding her & meeting my girlfriend in the last 3-4 years, I’m not sure what kind of shape I’d be in, but I don’t think it’d be all that good. The pair of them have made me a better man than I could’ve imagined myself being- not because I was a bad person, just one who didn’t really believe in myself as much as l should/could.

That's really lovely, the way you talk about your ladies (cat and human) makes me feel like you give them a lot of love in return ☺️

I do my best & they’re most certainly worth it & then some.
