Getting a cat… is something that changes your life. And no, we are not exaggerating at all. Some people, when we tell them that, think that we're being silly. Cats are quiet and low-energy and boring, right? Doesn't matter. There is something about having a cat just exist next to you that brings so much serenity into your life.

That's why so many people who 'hate cats' change their minds the moment they start actually living with one. Like they story of the mom who hated cats, then fell in love with her orange kitty. Or the story about the dad who hated cats and now sends pictures of the cat to his daughter all day. Or the boyfriend who hated cats going out of his way to rescue his girlfriend's kitty. All it takes is getting a cat for you to finally understand - they are the most purrfect thing in the world.

We remember what it was like to get a cat for the first time. Growing up without animals, and them getting one for the first time and experiencing the pure joy that they bring… there is nothing quite like it. And let us tell you - that feeling does not go away.

Every time that it happens, every time that our cats choose to come sit and cuddle with us, we feel like the most privileged people in the world, and every time, it is the most comforting and heartwarming thing. The feeling really doesn't go away, and we are so glad about it.
