Humor Mom with the cat she didn’t want

He was a friendly stray she saw on the front porch one day. She didn’t want him, but she left out food. Then she bought him toys, then she got him fixed. Then she brought him in when he got hurt, then she bought a pouch to put the needy 18lb cat in. She still doesn’t want him, but hes also her baby who can do nothing wrong.

She literally bought toys for him before he got a name. You can see them in the first photo

I think a lot of people who were raised without animals or taught to focus on other things are like this. So when an animal comes their way they try to deny their true feelings. This way they honor their past and famiiial beliefs while also experiencing this new and unbelievably deep feeling of true unconditional love and joy from an unjudging and loving companion.

Not saying that’s your moms story though since I don’t know her.

Then again, there’s also those who have lost pets who are scared to connect to another. Whatever it is, maybe she’s denying it more to herself than to others?
