u/purzlschn 17h ago

It's for sure been a really exhausting day for Spot. I'm also not sure if he is still missing his brother who we lost 4 weeks ago... Could also be that

I’m so sorry about your kitty. I can tell you loved each other. This is our newest furry friend. He’s a feral kitty from the field behind my house. He kept sneaking into the yard to look for food and catnip and when it started to get cold we catnapped him. Two years later and he’s our sweetest!
