Coffee and cats just make sense. 

There's nothing quite like starting your morning with a warm mug of meows…I mean coffee. The ol' cup of joe, a warm brew, a java, the name doesn't change how crucial it is, necessary, and how much coffee is loved by people around the world. While pondering whether your new coworker is kidding when she makes dark jokes, you sip on your fresh brew with enthusiasm and efficiency. And what do you hear in the periphery of your internal thoughts? Your cute kitty cat meowing at you for breakfast. 

Coffee in one hand and a furry little cat purring by your side. For pet owners, cats have a way of turning groggy mornings into a smile on your face—whether it's through a silly stretch, a dramatic meow for breakfast, or simply curling up on your lap. Pair that with the morning joe, and suddenly the day feels a little brighter. Let these cat memes capture your attention better than caffeine. 

Scrolling hissterical cat memes feels like a warm hug on a winter's night, a hand held tight, and a cup of hot cocoa to accompany your cheesy winter Christmas movie. We all have our guilty pleasure, but here's something you don't need to feel guilty about. Cats are the perfect thing for winter. They're cuddly, cozy, cute, and covered in fur. Before you say you've seen it all before, take a look at the classic cat memes that will have you hungry for more. Some of the classics include cats attempting yoga (or maybe just inventing their own wobbly poses), heroic loaf cats dominating the windowsill, or mischievous felines. Enjoy!

Maybe book your room before you arrive at the destination.

We always talk about the entitlement that guests have and the attitude they present towards the front desk employees who are just doing their job. As if they didn't care about how they are perceived by the people working there. It's fine if you don't care about what people think about you, but that isn't an excuse to behave poorly and to justify your lack of manners. Sometimes, with these stories, like the one below, we concentrate too much on the entitlement. But there is something else that we can take away about situations like this one: the lack of thinking skills.

We usually think that the customer is demanding something outrageous or impossible because they believe they are entitled to an exception. And even though that may be the case, that isn't the only possibility. That customer could also not be thinking. That is why they are asking for the impossible: they think the impossible is actually possible. Let's take, as an example, this story. We have a woman demanding to check into a room before 3 pm. The front desk employee already explained that their policy says that check-ins are only available at 3, but the customer insists. We always assume they insist because they think they deserve the room anyway, and it may be true. But maybe she is demanding that room because her brain can't comprehend the fact that it is not possible.

The fact that customers aren't only entitled but also dumb would be a very rational explanation as to why employees keep getting involved in these kinds of situations. People don't think. They don't use their brains. That's why when they are denied what they want, they throw a temper tantrum. They think that is a way to solve their issue, when in reality, it is just making things worse over something that has no solution. So maybe we shouldn't be so hard on these types of customers. They may not be doing it on purpose. Maybe they just don't think. 

No matter how small the box is, a cat will always find a way to squeeze inside.

There is something about cats and boxes that I will never understand, but I also don't think I want to. It's one of those little things that makes having a cat so entertaining. You leave an empty cardboard box on the floor for five minutes, and suddenly, it belongs to them. It doesn't matter what was inside before. As far as your cat is concerned, you just brought home a brand-new piece of feline furniture.

And I find this extremely cute, especially because of how much money we can spend trying to make our cats comfortable. You can buy the softest bed in the store, one of those fancy little houses, a fluffy blanket, or even a cat tree that costs more than some of the furniture in your own home. But what are they going to choose? The box that came with it, of course. Apparently, cardboard is a luxury material when you're a cat.

What makes the whole thing even funnier is that the size of the box doesn't seem to matter at all. Cats have this incredible confidence that tells them they can fit anywhere. Sometimes, you look at a box and immediately know there is absolutely no way your cat is getting inside. Then, two minutes later, there they are, completely folded into it like they suddenly have no bones.

I genuinely don't know how they do it. They twist their legs, tuck their paws under themselves, bend their bodies into shapes that shouldn't be comfortable, and somehow look perfectly relaxed. Meanwhile, I'm uncomfortable if my pillow is slightly out of place.

Maybe that's why pictures of cats sitting in boxes never get old. Every cat seems to approach the challenge differently. Some curl up perfectly inside, others overflow from every side, and a few simply sit on top because, apparently, that counts too.

So, if you have a cat, maybe think twice before throwing away your next delivery box. Forget the expensive cat bed for a moment. Leave that piece of cardboard on the floor and see what happens. Chances are, you've just given your feline their new favorite spot, and it didn't cost you anything.

Living where you work can make the line between employee and household member disappear dangerously fast.

A live-in caregiver moved far from home believing her job involved caring for one elderly woman, only to discover that unexpected houseguests apparently came with extra responsibilities. After being asked to surrender her bedroom, sleep elsewhere, and prepare meals for the visitors, she began wondering whether being accommodating had quietly turned into accepting duties she never agreed to perform.

I think live-in jobs can get complicated incredibly fast because your workplace is also the place where you're supposed to relax once you're done working. There's no commute home, no door to close behind you, and sometimes no obvious moment when you stop being an employee. That's exactly why having clear boundaries from the beginning seems even more important in situations like this.

What surprised me most here wasn't even that Grandma had guests over. It's her home, so obviously she can invite people. The strange part was assuming that the caregiver's bedroom automatically became the guest room. She had moved far away specifically for this job, and that room was now where she kept her clothes, belongings, and basically her entire personal life. Asking her to suddenly relocate to a sofa feels like a pretty significant request.

Then there's the cooking situation. Making meals for the woman you're employed to care for is one thing; unexpectedly becoming responsible for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for additional adults is something completely different. One extra favor can easily become part of the routine when nobody says anything.

I probably would've agreed the first night too, simply because two strangers were already standing there with nowhere else to sleep. But night two? That's when I'd want my room back. Being flexible at work is great, but flexibility shouldn't mean discovering new responsibilities whenever someone rings the doorbell.

When you look for a job, you have to be prepared to answer some weird questions and comply with some weird requests.

And if you really need a job, you might even agree to the weirdest ones. For some reason, hiring managers have no issue making their candidates jump through hoops for a simple job, all in the name of the excuse of wanting to find out who they are and how they would behave in a workplace.

Most requests actually make sense. As much as we hate it, we get why most job candidates have to complete an assignment as part of the hiring process, or even take a test. We can even excuse the 5 rounds of interviews if the role is something truly important. An honest conversation is not the worst thing someone can do to get a job.

But there are some requests that are simply red flags, a big flashing sign that says "warning, you do not want to work with these people." When that happens, the last thing you should do is comply with this request. You are better off without a job than working for people who feel comfortable coming to you with these unreasonable asks.

The HR here, for example, asked a job candidate to bring her the original copy of their college degree, which many agree is not something commonly asked as part of a hiring process. If a hiring manager wants to verify a candidate's education, there are ways to do that, but asking for the original copy is not one of them.

Since the request sounded off for the job candidate, they decided to do some digging and see if they should simply comply or give up on the job altogether. When people found out that the job is a minimum wage job, they agreed that something is fishy. Eventually, the candidate confronted HR about it, which led to the whole deal crumbling to the ground…

Sometimes all it takes is being in the right place at the right time, and suddenly you end up with a gift from the cat distribution system. 

There are moments that happen in our lives that make us think that there's some strange organization to life's events. You could be walking around your neighborhood and suddenly end up with a Burmese cat. That's exactly what happens in this story, when a woman is walking with a friend in his neighborhood and a collar-less kitten came up to them for pets. He friend pointed out the house where he thought the cat belonged to. The woman had a feeling about the kitten, and even though he could have had a family, she wanted to adopt him. The next weekend, the woman plucks up the courage to visit the house and ask what's going on with the cat. A moving van was out front and they were in the process of moving. She said to the guy that his cat is lovely, and wished him luck in the move. Then the unexpected happened, the guy actually offers her the cat! It's exactly what she wanted, and it all started to unfold around her. It just so happened that the mom didn't want the cat at the new place, so it was hers. She named the Burmese Poe after Poe Dameron, and the two live happily ever after. 

The cat still has a lot of behaviors from the street, like lifting bin lids, attempting to steal food from her plate, and meowing demands for breakfast and dinner. She loves him more than anything, and was just what she needed before she knew it. 

Culturally, a commute was something that we had come to accept as a part of our working lives. But now, does the workforce accept commuting as a "requirement"? Or do we take exception to that idea?

This employee shared how they went to HR and demanded they be compensated for their time and cost of commuting into the office after their employer pushed a Return to Office mandate that forced them into the office 3 days a week, where they had previously been employed as full-time remote.

 

It's funny that commuting started off as a positive thing for workers who, in the 1880s after the first wave of the Industrial Revolution, were finally able to separate their lives from the dismal, soot-covered industrial sectors where they worked. This must have been, literally, a breath of fresh air for them and their families, as they were now able to take a horse-drawn streetcar and, later, a steam train or cable car, to their work and then home again. They didn't have to spend their entire lives among the pollution, now only their working hours. And their families no longer had to go to these areas at all, making a better future for their children.

We now know worker mass transit today simply as "commuting." And while commuting from a comfortable suburb into the city still presents a lifestyle choice, we now bear the cost of that choice begrudgingly and with frustration. 

We now associate commuting, not with the opportunity to be further away from our work and where we do it, but as a major inconvenience. All that time you could be at home with your family, instead spent cramped on a bus or subway full of complete strangeers doing our best not to make eye contact, or sitting in gridlocked traffic as all the drivers around us lay into their horns like a scream into the void, while also trying not to make eye conactFor years, the workforce, namely those with jobs on laptops, shifting cells in spreadsheets and flinging emails onto the next person's inbox.

But parents will make the sacrifice this time and sanity for the quiet, boring, predictable security of the suburbs for their families.

In this day and age you can expect to find dumped kittens in almost any and all locations that life might take you. Be it the mall, the museum, the market or the river as it was in this case, you never quite know where a lost kitten will meet you. The question is whether you are ready to meet it.

Now you might be wondering why we would ask such an obvious question, of course everyone is ready to meet the kitten of their life in a sweet meet cute that they totally weren't expecting. But as we come to find out in this story, if you have not thought things all the way through you might find yourself in a pawsition that your were not prepawed for as was the case for this couple when they suddenly found themselves questioning whether they should keep or rehome the kittens in their care. But our story does not start there, it begins on a quaint riverside trail with a couple walking their dog. Upon hearing some rustling in the grass they turned their attention to the direction from which the sound was coming and found themselves looking straight at two cute kittens who could not have been more than a few weeks old.

With no momma cat around and the evening drawing in the couple quickly got to work capturing the timid but friendly kittens so that they could bring them home and give them a safe place to lay their weary heads for a night. But as mentioned before this was about as far as this couple had thought about the kittens, assuming that they would rehome them and that would be the end of it. But after cuddles and purrs that made the fluffy felines fall asleep, feelings of love began to brew and a whole new set of problems arose. 
 

Why would they say they offer unlimited PTO if they are going to make a fuss over 8 days?

Why would someone offer as a job perk the fact that the employee would have the pleasure of enjoying as much PTO as they want as long as they have left everything in order before leaving, only to then call out the employee who uses it? This is either some horrible organization on the company's part, or some problem between coworkers. I could think of only three possible explanations for what happened in the story below.

Firstly, an employee complained that this employee was taking too much time off and leaving projects incomplete, which, according to the same employee, is not true, as he has been taking care of everything before leaving every time. Secondly, it could be something from upper management because they are using this perk an extreme amount, forbidding other employees from taking time off as they are always leaving. Which, according to this employee, is also not possible, as he has only taken 8.5 days off. Lastly, it could be performance-wise. Basically, the employee is not excelling at his job, so there is no value in keeping him if he's not bringing great value and is also taking this much time off.

Truth is, the last option is the only one the employee didn't explain. So I would believe that is probably the reason why he's getting called out. He just took a couple of days, and he may be making sure that he has completed everything before leaving. But maybe, and just maybe, he's not great, or at least not great enough, to be taking PTO time off every chance he has. Sometimes we get great benefits in a job, but that doesn't mean that we can always enjoy them. If we are not core employees, we are probably going to get called out about things that others aren't. That's how corporate works. In this case, I would advise this employee to make sure that he proves his value at his job before requesting any other time off. 

Nothing says "dinner was a success" quite like a cat waddling away from the bowl with a freshly filled soup belly.

Soup belly season is always in full swing when there are hungry felines around. One minute, you've got a perfectly normal-shaped cat yelling for dinner. A few noms later, you're looking at a suspiciously round creature who appears to have eaten the bowl along with the food.

Kittens might be the reigning soup belly champions. They're already working with very little real estate, so a good meal can turn that little tummy into a full-blown orb. Then they have the audacity to walk around like nothing happened. Sir, we can see where you put your entire dinner.

Of course, filling the soup belly is exhausting work. Once the bowl has been sufficiently cleared, it's usually time to find somewhere cozy and pass out. Preferably belly-up, so the hoomans can properly appreciate the results.

A well-fed soup belly is a beautiful sight, especially on a feline who once had to worry about where their next meal was coming from. Now the bowl is full, the tummy is round, and the only thing left on the schedule is a very serious nap.

That round belly also won't stop a cat from demanding dessert. The treat bag makes one little crinkle and suddenly your completely stuffed feline has found room for another course. Soup belly capacity apparently has different rules when snacks are involved.

So fill those bowls and prepare the nap spots. The soup bellies are coming, and they're getting rounder by the spoonful.

Please admire responsibly. Belly touching remains strictly at the chef's discretion.

Have you ever seen those medieval paintings featuring cats?

We all have, at least once. And our reaction has always been the same: "What is THAT?" Yeah, it seems like medieval painters had an interesting idea of what cats were supposed to look like, not at all what we expect to see in this century. 

Medieval painters were not exactly remembered for being super realistic; that came later on. But their representation of pets, and cats mostly, makes us wonder if all of them had issues with their eyesight. There's no way they looked at a real cat, then at their paintings and said: "Yeah, that definitely looks like the same cat." Their perception of reality might have been a little distorted. Or perhaps they ran out of candles while painting at night, and they kept going in pitch-black darkness and just hoped for the best. They didn't have Photoshop for fixing their mistakes, or even a lantern to make sure they were mixing the right colors. After all, they don't call it 'the dark ages' for nothing. Yes, we know it has nothing to do with electric light, but you get the joke. 

Distorted or not, they definitely made it fun to look at. We have cats that look like dogs, cats that look like dragons, cats in a full suit of armor, cats with human faces- you name it! Medieval people loved to insert their pets into their portraits, and they didn't have the internet to entertain themselves, so they got really creative in their spare time. The matter of skill must be a factor interfering here as well. Not to say that medieval painters weren't talented, but maybe they lacked a bit of understanding of animal anatomy or how to translate a living, breathing, three-dimensional being into paper. The same thing could happen with humans; it's not like those look much better. But at least we understand that they are humans! Everything starts going south when you can't figure out whether you're looking at a cat, a dog, a lizard, or a monkey. Because yes, in medieval painting all of those can be depicted in a suspiciously similar way. They may be some of the weirdest things we've seen, but also one of the most fun! So here we have a collection of medieval paintings showing us that the idea of "Cat" is more about the spirit than the actual look.

What did he think was going to happen? 

We become much less adaptable as we age. We not only don't want to learn new things, but we also get worse at learning them because our brains have less elasticity. If someone has worked hard for their whole career, they might feel they don't need to learn any new skills once they're a couple of years out from retirement, because they don't think their company will fire someone about to retire. If you're a valuable member of your team who provides services that nobody else could do better, you might be right. But if you're just some bitter old boomer who doesn't do what you're supposed to do at your job, you shouldn't be surprised when your boss slips you a pink slip. 

The boomer dad in this story was shocked to be fired, but he really shouldn't have been. He refused to learn the new software, despite having a coworker teaching him exactly what to do. 

Workplaces love acting like they're offering "development" when what they really mean is a mildly expensive obstacle course

That's the scheme here. Companies hand over a stack of onboarding nonsense, bury one ugly little clause inside it, and later act like they loaned out a private tutor from the Harvard of printer maintenance. It's the same energy as a sketchy gym charging a cancellation fee because someone walked past the treadmill and read the sign. The paper trail is the product. The training is just the excuse.

This lucky employee was fortunate enough to lay eyes on a few stale videos, a PDF nobody would choose to read for fun, and maybe a slideshow with the charisma of a DMV chair. Then, somehow, that gets dressed up as specialized instruction worth real money. Sure. Everything makes sense here.

This family had one feline-sized vacancy, and Sephy was more than happy to apply. 

Four months after losing their elderly cat, one family finally felt ready to welcome another feline into their lives. They didn't have to search very far. Their next family member was already hanging around the yard.

They first spotted the beautiful cat while out walking their dog. With a hoarder house across the street that had been home to generations of stray and feral cats, they assumed she had probably come from there. She disappeared, but not for long.

Over the next week, the cat kept returning. Her future pawrent started calling to her whenever she appeared, and each encounter brought a little more trust. She got closer, became more comfortable, and slowly went from random backyard visitor to a familiar face they hoped to see again.

There was still one important question to answer before bringing her inside: did she already belong to someone?

A conversation with the neighbors confirmed that she was indeed a stray and needed a home. That was all this family needed to hear. The backyard visitor officially moved indoors and received a name worthy of her striking looks: Persephone, or Sephy for short.

The timing makes Sephy's arrival even sweeter. Her family hadn't rushed into adopting again after their senior cat passed, and they weren't actively trying to fill the house with the first feline they could find. They waited until opening their hearts again felt right.

Then Sephy started showing up.

She had an entire neighborhood to wander through, yet she kept returning to the yard belonging to people who were finally ready to say yes to another cat. Whether that was luck, excellent feline judgment, or another successful Cat Distribution System delivery, Sephy clearly picked the right address.

How do you add flavor to your morning coffee?

We all have a routine we follow when we wake up in the meowrning. Some spend the first few minutes after they wake up aimlessly scrolling through their phones, some go straight to the bathroom to brush their teeth, some even immediately change into their workout clothes and head to the gym. For us, the first thing we always think of when we open our eyes is a sweet cup of coffee. Otherwise, we would not be able to even start the day. The problem is that the fact that coffee is the first thing that comes to our mind once we get out of bed does not sit well with our cat, who believes that our first priority should always be, you guessed it, him. 

He's a spoiled little fiesty feline, but since he has an automatic feeder, we know that he only complains because he wants attention, which can wait after we make our much-needed energy supplier. So while we make our wonderful, steaming cup of coffee, our cat screams at the top of his lungs in protest of not getting enough attention, which has basically become white noise at this point. He only calms down when we finally sit down with our coffee, and he gets to rub his face in ours, ensuring that our coffee gets its hefty side of cat hair. It's funny how we have our routine, and he has his, and we eventually meet in the middle and find common ground. 

Even though it might sounds like we are complaining, we actually love spending time with our cat first thing in the morning, and we enjoy his company while we sip our coffee. He makes facing the rest of the day not look so threatening, and even though he will never admit it, he is just a sweet baby. Aside from the wonderful meowrning coffee experience with our baby boy, we also enjoy scrolling through some hissterical cat memes, like those that are waiting for you down below.

When 42 years of silence suddenly comes with a price tag.

Selling an inherited property should have been the final step after probate, but an old name on the deed changed everything. The owner's ex-wife, absent from the property since their 1984 divorce, was contacted during a quiet title action and quickly demanded half its value. Now, a decades-old technicality could stand between the heir and the sale altogether.

There is something uniquely frustrating about discovering that paperwork from decades ago can suddenly become today's problem. You can inherit a property, complete probate, find a willing buyer, and assume the complicated part is behind you. Then one forgotten name on a deed turns what seemed like a straightforward sale into a legal headache with roots dating back to 1984.

What makes this situation particularly interesting is the timing. According to the heir, his father's ex-wife hadn't lived there, paid the property taxes, or otherwise shown any interest in the land for 42 years. Yet once she was contacted because of the quiet title action, she allegedly wanted half the property's value. That's one dramatic way for an old relationship to make a comeback.

Of course, feeling that someone doesn't deserve money and determining whether they legally own part of a property are two very different questions. Her absence alone doesn't necessarily settle what her name on the deed means, which is exactly why having an attorney involved matters here.

Still, from the heir's perspective, the whole thing must feel surreal. His father passed away, he went through probate, and he finally arranged a sale. Instead of closing, he ended up dealing with someone from his father's marriage more than four decades ago. Some family history apparently comes with very persistent paperwork.

Why do bosses expect the maximum out of employees when they refuse to give the maximum in return?

In case someone forgot, employment works both ways. The need for a job to be done comes from the employee and the employer alike. Sure, an employee needs the job because they need the money, but no one would have been willing to pay money if they didn't need someone to actually do the job. So why do employers act like they don't need good employees as much as good employees need them?

Once employers started looking at employment as a two-way street, they might realise that if they expect their workers to care about the job, they should show the same amount of care to their workers. Think about it: the only employees who truly go above and beyond in their job are the ones who really like their workplace, and how can one like a workplace when it does not treat you right?

That is the major reason for the shift that happened in this workplace. Up until now, employees were shown full trust, never having their hours recorded, and granted the option to work from home for two days a week. Then, a new director showed up, who decided to institute many changes in the company, including a demand for a full return to the office 5 days a week.

No more flexibility for the employees led the star worker to show no flexibility on his side too. This meant that he went from being the guy who always showed initiative, stayed late, was always the one his boss could count on, to the guy who arrives every day at exactly 9 AM and leaves at exactly 5 PM, and never does anything that's beyond his job description. Why should he give his above and beyond when the company doesn't do the same for him?

Since he isn't doing anything wrong, his boss can't blame him for anything, but that doesn't mean that he will be around for much longer. What does that mean? Keep reading to find out.

If you've ever wondered what is most likely going to happen with your cat once you have a baby… the answer is right here. 

Raise your hand if you are someone who has a cat, wants to have babies one day, and is terrified of the two not being literal friends. I would raise my hand. This has been a worry of mine for the longest time, and I suppose that until I actually have a child, I will never know how things will turn out. My worst fear is my cat and my baby not getting along. As someone who looks for stories about cats and writes about them for a living, I have seen too many stories of people rehoming cats for all kinds of reasons, and I cannot imagine ever having to do that with mine, even if the worst happens. But I've also seen many, many stories like the one I have for you today. 

Cats and babies. Two precious and adorable things together. Yes, I'm worried about my cat and my future baby hating each other, but it's stories like these that really give me hope. Some cats love babies. Not just "like", not just "tolerate", some cats really do love human babies. It's hard to explain exactly why. Maybe they can tell that we love our babies, and so they think they should love them too. Maybe a baby's milky, soft and warm smell is something that cats are attracted to. We don't care why. We just think that it's the sweetest thing in the world. 

The cat in today's video clearly loves this baby. Every night, the cat cuddles with the baby in its crib, and the owners, despite trying to separate the two ad make sure that they are together only when there is someone supervising, can't stop it every time. They have accepted the fact that this cat has adopted their baby and that she belongs to the baby just as much as she belongs to them. They are one big adorable family, and we can only hope that is in our cards as well. 

Money issues between family members sound like a horrible idea.

Why would someone's financial problems be another person's responsibility? The idea of a student loan is to manage the burden that it would cause to the family by delaying the payment of education till the student starts working a full-time job and can actually afford it. Of course, it would be better not to have to depend on something like this. But the truth is that as tuition has become more and more expensive, most students nowadays need them. They are the thing that defines whether or not they attend university and receive the education they want. They have become so valuable that the idea of not receiving that support terrifies families and causes severe anxiety.

In the story below, we encounter a student whose parents not only cannot afford tuition at all, but they are also unable to get approved as cosigners for student loans due to their poor credit score and their high debt. This causes them to resort to their families for some support. They aren't asking them for any financial help, such as direct money or deposits. But they are trying to convince a family member to be the cosigner, as they are unfit. In the agreement of someone lies the educational future of their daughter.

When this aunt gets asked to do this, she starts to feel pressure because the reality of all this is that, even though they aren't asking her to give them money directly, they are expecting her to make a financial commitment that, if it goes wrong, she would have to pay for. Is an immense risk, and she isn't sure she wants to commit to something like this. The position she is in right now is uncomfortable, as she said no, and now her family is mad at her. But what would you do? It's an incredible risk that I wouldn't dare to take part in at all. She would have her finances depending on the responsibility of a teenager who was never taught by her parents how to manage her finances. It seems like more of a risk than a way of helping out her niece. 

When a cat unexpectedly loses its owner, nothing matters except mending the cat's broken heart. 

We always say that there could be nothing worse than losing our kitties. The older my cat gets, the more I think about this moment, the more I worry about her and about myself. She's my soul cat, my first cat after having never grown up with pets, and this cat has saved my life and helped me get through so, so much. The thought of her leaving me is unbearable, but it's not the worst. The worst option would be me leaving her. 

For a cat to lose its owner… there could be nothing worse. The cat doesn't understand. As far as the cat is concerned, one day, out of nowhere, their owner, who has been their everything for so long, just leaves. And doesn't come back. We imagine that it feels more like betrayal than anything else. Like abandonment. And their heart breaks just as much as ours does after a loss. All that matters after that is mitigating the cat's pain as much as possible, mending the cat's broken heart. 

For the cat in today's story, there weren't too many options. Her owner suddenly passed, and it was either go home with the owner's sister or be sent to a shelter. And we all know what it's like for older cats in shelters - lonely, waiting sometimes for years for another person to give them a chance. Now, the sister wanted to take the cat, but she was faced with a problem. Both her roommates are allergic. Thankfully, we are talking about good people today, and even these two allergic roommates could not let this cat be sent away to some shelter to be alone. They took her in with open arms and pink noses, and everyone in the house fell in love with her.
