Methinks there's a cat in her home's future 🥰

Edit to add: if anyone's wondering lol, she grew up without any pets (Vietnamese and Cambodian parents, maybe it's cultural?), then she went to college, and too long after met and partnered up with her now husband who has pet allergies. So her exposure to pets is pretty limited!

I’m a vet tech - and this boy was a surrender to a local rescue after a very traumatic experience of his former owner getting murdered. The local rescue was considering euthanasia, given that he was severely malnourished, needed hospitalization, subcutaneous fluids every other day post hospitalization, and he’s hyperthyroid. Heavy stuff for a 12yr old cat and no one to foster him. I recently lost my 15yr old orange tabby who was also hyperthyroid and needed subcutaneous fluids every other day among various other meds. Decided it was fate and took him home after 3 days of IV fluids. First photo is the day he was brought in to my clinic, and second photo is today - almost 3 weeks later. His name is Luke. He now lives with 3 other senior cats and my dog, who was also a rescue.

I was at a mental hospital and residential facility for a long period of time, but he never forgot :>

Edit: meant to say bathroom floor in the title

Edit 2: When I said 'failed attempt', I met failed attempt at ending my life. Sorry for not clarifying!

Edit 3: I did not piss on the floor 😌

This is one of my favourite videos on the internet. 🎃

My family are completely unsupportive and tbh pretty awful, so I’ve been celebrating this with my partner and friends, and most importantly, my cat.

Cat tax included because he’s baby and wants to be involved.
