Ike's Story
Taking It One Day at a Time <br/><br/>I'm Ike, and lately I've been realizing that the world is... interesting. Not overwhelming-interesting - more like lean-in-and-watch interesting. I notice how other cats move through the room, where they choose to sit, and what happens when someone decides it's time to be brave and step a little closer. I'm curious now in a way that feels new, like I'm starting to imagine myself joining in instead of just observing from the sidelines.<br/><br/>I didn't always have the chance to learn what calm felt like, so I'm still practicing. Trust is something I'm building slowly, thoughtfully, and on my own terms - and every day it gets a little easier. I don't need grand gestures to feel safe; I need patience, consistency, and space to keep discovering who I'm becoming. If you believe that growth can be quiet, meaningful, and incredibly rewarding, I think we could take these days one gentle step at a time - together.
