But every time someone thinks they don't want a pet and they end up with that pet anyway, the connection becomes real. There is something cats have that is impossible not to adore, all it really takes is the right cat, and cats are good at choosing the right humans.
Clearly for the California family we are excited to tell you about today, it was fate.
Imgur user bagofgrapes titled his post, "The cat I never wanted probably saved my life."
And then the story he shared took us on one heck of a wild, emotional ride.
Imgurians, meet Lucifer Meowingstar - named by my wonderful wife and yes, he's named after a TV show. Fun fact about this turd: I didn't really want him, my wife did. So here's a classic "he wasn't a cat guy until he was" story about how I wasn't a cat guy... until I was.Earlier last year, my wife and I adopted a different cat, not pictured. We got him home, I spent an hour with him on our bathroom floor while my wife shopped for all the essentials.
We absolutely pampered him, and I fell in love. Later that evening, we took him to the vet for an exam. We found out the cat we just adopted wasn’t 3 years old, he was actually 9.
He also had a chronic gum disease the shelter failed to mention that required him to be fed through a syringe for the rest of his life. The cost? $3500 annually, something my wife and I just couldn’t afford on retail paychecks. We had to take him back to the shelter.
