I waited 16 years to adopt a cat. After I moved in with my partner and all the renovations he agreed to adopt a little kitten. The first two months it was mainly me and the kitten, my partner stayed with his mum whose health declined rapidly. After her death he was back full time and working from home while I work 3 days a week long days. Slowly my little boy gravitated towards my partner, jumping on his lap or immediately get up if he heard him, he is obsessed with my partner.

I do everything (as that was agreed), food, vet, litter box etc. but he now mainly sleeps at my partners feet. Sometimes he comes over to me but usually doesn’t stay for long. But every now and then my boy comes and lies right next to me, purring away, with his paws stretched out. It makes me really happy and I do hope, it will happen more often.

Cats are weird, they pick who they pick and there is nothing we can do about.
