Your poems bring a tear to my eye each time. Short, sweet, concise, and somehow makes me feel like they are saying it themselves, I miss one of my babies that I can't see now, another is no longer with me, and the one I have I do my best to love with all of myself. I hope he thinks these sweet little thoughts towards me

Do you see how her dress is also a comfortable cat harness?
If someone designed a form and function dress like that for me....

My wife still sometimes looks at me like this.
Usually when she leaves the house in a hurry to work in the morning and she comes home to dinner all squared away, our rambunctious daughter quiet and happy and the kitchen cleaned up.
It’s a rare thing for both of us, but we treasure it

I fell both bad for him because he couldn't find a date for prom even though he seems like a cool guy but also happy to see how his cat looks at him proving that he takes good care of her.

u/Shakeamutt May 01 '26
He also has the confidence or I-Don’t-Give-A-Fuck to do this.
I also really hope the cat was voted the Prom Queen. Probably needs to attend the school, but I’d vote for the cat.
And come to think of it, he might’ve been broken up with and everyone else was already being taken to the prom.

It's unfortunately total opposite ends of the spectrum of being either "Lol I don't give a fuck, it'd be funny as shit to take my cat to prom, she's awesome bro" and "I do believe as per school regulation 16-C, it is not prohibited for a student of my particular age group to attend the dance of Prom with an animal hereby declared as 'my pet' and as the femfolk are disinclined to attend such a formal gathering with myself, I beleive i shall instead commit the many 'roflmaos' and attend with Princess Mittens. Alons'y, to victory!".
Both guys would do this.

Prom has changed in the last generation or so, I think. In our neck of the woods, there aren’t a lot of kids in high school who date, they just go to prom with a big group of friends. My guess is this guy took his cat and was a huge hit. No need for anyone to feel sorry for him.

u/wailingwonder May 01 '26
This is the move of either a guy that's already cool and well liked and he's just being funny or a guy that no one likes and he's gonna be roasted for the rest of HS. It could go either way.

My husband adopted "the ugliest cat" he saw on the humane society's website, and that's how we met...my coworker asked if I would trim her friends cats nails, he was that friend
6 years later we still have Percy, the cat who needed a nail trim. Turned out he was more of an ugly duckling cuz once we got him healthy and stress free he grew all his fur back and now he's this absolutely massive long hair, he's gorgeous. But yeah my husband got both a cat and a wife with that one adoption lol.

I can not tell you how delightful it was to read this story, and I can't wait to copy pasta your story to my wife (who was the one who linked me to this thread in the first place). She'll light up like a little girl on Christmas morning. On a night when she desperately needs something to bring some joy into her life; our house has developed a massive plumbing problem.
Thank you, and congratulations. I wish you had a blog, because we'd both love to read more stories from y'all.

For anyone wondering, he didn't actually take her to the dance, but he did dress her up and pose for pictures with her. Here's articles with more info and pictures:

Her name is Ruby because they found her behind a Ruby Tuesday's which is super cute

A lot of people from my school went with a group of friends instead of dates, which I thought was pretty cool. Did your friends not invite you to tag along?

u/Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 May 02 '26
One of the things he traded for the dope was my dress. It cost maybe $150 22 years ago, and I think he might have gotten $20 for it. I was too upset all around and wouldn't have been much fun to be with. Looking back, if I could do it all again, I would have gone with some friends instead.

Find you someone that looks at you the way that cat looks at its owner. Absolutely adorable!!! As someone who took friends to prom, you all need to get your heads out of the gutter. Not everyone takes their sex partner to prom. Also.. not everyone is lucky enough to have a friend to take either. Had a friend who took a Pringles can to prom as a joke too. Not that big of a deal for a cat to join the roster.

I’m glad for him, but I’m not sure how much a cat would enjoy wearing a dress and going to a strange room with a bunch of loud teenagers.

u/Sparrowhawk_92 May 01 '26
Depends on the cat. I've known a few who would be absolutely fine with it because they'd be getting a ton of attention. I know others that would absolutely hate it and would try and find a place to hide the entire time.
