92/100 days of productivity • 170823

being someone that was a dog person (having dogs for over 10 years in my life), i never expected to like having cats to be honest. i didn't realise how clingy a cat could be, but also how loving. i can't go anywhere without her meowing and sitting at the window as i work outside. maybe it's because she's just three months old, i don't know :')

also, i'm cooking something up for the end of this productivity challenge - can you guess what it is?
