"So, after our first day of volunteering at our local animal shelter… My daughter made a PowerPoint presentation about why she should be allowed to get a kitten. We already have two adult cats. But how could we say no to her request for an emotional support animal of her very own? And then of course we couldn't separate these two sisters! Introducing Blossom & Spice!"

"We adopted this chunk..."

via u/ShoeLeatherAndLaces

"We adopted this chunk. The shelter paperwork said he was "unneeded." He is very needed now. He helps the Mister sleep when he is having nightmares from growing up in a war zone. The kitty knows when they get bad and won't move an inch until the sun comes up. Then he is tired from working all night."
