This was meant to be a quick warm up, but it turned into a comic that I've wanted to draw for a while. This is something that is extremely important to me, and I appreciate it if you read it.

A while ago, I heard a story that broke my heart. A family went a cat shelter to adopt. The daughter fell in love with a 3-legged cat. The father straight up said "absolutely not". Because he was missing a leg. That cat was that close to having a family that loved him, but the missing leg held him back. Why?!

Many people have the initial instinct of "nope" when they see an imperfect animal. I get it, but less-adoptable does NOT mean less loveable. 9 out of 10 people will choose a kitten over an adult cat. And those 10% that would get an adult cat often overlook "different" animals.

All I want people to do is be open to the idea of having a "different" pet in their lives. Choose the pet that you fall in love with, but at least give all of them a fair shot at winning your heart.

Don't dismiss them, they deserve a loving home just as much as any other cat. They still purr, they still love a warm lap, they still play, they still love you. Trust me, next time you are in the market for a new kitty, just go over to that one cat that's missing an eye and see what he's all about!

Tw: Animal Death

Hi Tumblr,

I don’t post often here anymore, but I posted about my cats for so many years here and I just had to do an update.

Boxer and Dance both passed away in November, just 4 days apart. Boxer was struggling and we knew it was his time. He went peacefully. Just a couple days later, Dance declined very quickly. I thought he was just acting strange due to Boxer being gone. I brought him to the emergency vet, and on the way I had this sinking feeling that something really bad had happened.

I don’t know what it was exactly, but Dance did not come home with me. It might have been a heart attack. But, it was scary and horrible and a nightmare scenario that I thought I’d never have to live. I held him as he passed, but he was already gone at that point. I was completely blindsided, he was in good health.

We adopted them both together from the shelter, and they became bonded. I think that Dance truly just couldn’t love without Boxer. Boxer was 14 and Dance was 15, we adopted them when they were 2 & 1.

Teddy is still with us, and I’m doing everything I can to make sure he’s happy and healthy.

But, I know we had some really popular posts with Boxer and Dance, and I enjoy looking at this blog and seeing these good memories.

I loved them so incredibly much and I miss them every day. They were really good and sweet boys who loved people. They were really special cats.

Every once in a while I see people reposts some of their photos elsewhere, I don’t really mind that at all. I hope for years to come I’ll pop online and randomly see them, haha.
