I’ve been learning how to take care of him the way he needs to be taken care of…

Everyone’s is different.
Mine has abandonment issues because his parents were absent.
He likes to be in control and has strong boundaries.
He doesn’t quite know how he feels about public displays of affection yet,
He doesn’t ever want to come off as weak in front of others.
On the contrary, if you touch someone else in front of him,
He gets very jealous and he’s quick to show it.
He’s quite a fireball.
He doesn’t like to sit still and is all about movement!
He likes to run and jump and play.
He’s temperamental.
Sometimes he gets anxious.
Sometimes he scratches me.
Sometimes I find that playful and I don’t mind.
Sometimes he gets angry and we have to take space away from each other.
At other times he is very clingy and affectionate.
I love the moments that I get to spend with him like this.
He loves nature and he loves to be outdoors.
He loves getting *****, especially in the garden.
His hair is medium long and dark like the night sky.
His eyes light up my world.
He loves the way that I sing to him.
We take a lot of naps together.
He loves cuddles when nobody else is around.
He is his most gentle, sweet, authentic self in those moments.
He reminds me that I am loved.
I could spend forever just looking into those eyes,
the way that he holds eye contact when he is at home with me.
I love him passed his flaws and the roughness and he sees me
for the loving, caring, nurturer that I am.
We are so different from each other and somehow so alike.
We just get each other.
I will always love him, even when others don’t.

This was a story about my rescued cat, did it trigger anything for you?
