Nine Lives, Two Companions

A life in cats: from rooftop chaos to ragdoll soulmates

Our animal companions often become unexpected mirrors, reflecting back chapters of our lives we might otherwise forget. In this personal narrative, I trace my journey from a childhood surrounded by 37 rooftop cats to my current life with two bonded Ragdolls. Along the way, I've learned about care, loss, and finding connection on nature's terms, not mine. If an animal has ever chosen you, you'll recognize yourself in this story. Read and see what you think.
