I rolled over, showed off my belly, followed you around while you set up to trap the mamas, and made sure you understood one very important thing:

👉 I am adorable.
👉 I deserve attention.
👉 I am clearly meant to be someone’s cat.

You even tried to ignore me at first, to complete your mission, but I kept trying to get into those traps for snacks… because honestly, I figured wherever you were taking the others, I belonged there too.

I got my “snip snip” (not my favorite day, but the humans at the clinic told me I was very handsome and that I deserved a home), and then… I got brought back right to where my story began.

Don’t get me wrong—I’m grateful to be safe and they say, “a better version of myself,” but I’m still here… waiting.

Waiting for someone to finally pick me.

I don’t want to watch from the sidelines anymore. I don’t want to compete with litters or be the background character in someone else’s story.
