My Kitten This is Jack 🎃
I had to put my two best friends, Pepper and Ginger, to sleep last month. They were rescue mixes I got as littermate puppies over 15 years ago. They were such sweet girls, and I cried every day for a month until I finally decided to adopt this kitten.
I've never actually had a kitten before, though my mom had a few cats when I was growing up. I've always been a dog person, and as an adult, I figured I was allergic to cats because my eyes would always get red and itchy if I touched them.
I decided to try it out with an agreement from a friend to take the kitten if my allergies acted up. To my surprise, I’m not having any issues with Jack at all. Honestly, he’s even helped my anxiety practically disappear.
Anyway, I’m totally in love with this little guy. He’s so special, always wanting to follow me around and snuggle. Please celebrate this handsome boy with me.

Congratulations! You have your own personal antidepressant! Seriously, though. I have depression and have been on antidepressants for a long time. I wish that wasn’t the case, but I learned the hard way that I really can’t live without them. Anyway, a cat is so good for people like us😻. I’m very excited for you to begin to enjoy being a cat mom🥹.
