Cat

“Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods.” ~ Christopher Hitchens, The Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Nonbeliever

So I put in an application to adopt a cat. I am nervous that my application will get rejected. Anxious much? My perpetual insecurity seeps into every aspect of my life, I guess. I know it would be easier if I just went to a pet store and bought a cat, but I believe in the motto “adopt – don’t shop.” The little cat on the Queens rescue page has been in the shelter for over a month, and reading that broke my heart. I have no idea what her history is, where she came from and how she ended up at the shelter, but I just want to bring her into my life and shower her with all the love and care she deserves.
