I’ve Graduated to Insane Cat Person (And Republicans Are Pissed)

Whelp, if I wasn’t on JD Vance’s birthday invite list, I certainly won’t be now.

It would seem that the Republican Nominee for Vice President takes issue with single cat owners. Specifically, single cat ladies, but that wasn’t very inclusive of him. For I am single. I have zero human children. And I’m a man.

If I’m being real, I wasn’t ever going to be on any of that man’s invite lists but if he takes issue with single, childless people with cats, then I really wouldn’t want anything to do with him anyway. Frankly, I take great issue with anyone who doesn’t like cats. Or animals in general.

Also, taking one good look at JD Vance, and I’m pretty certain no animals like him very much. My oldest cat, Burger, loves EVERYONE and I think she would hate his guts.

It’s actually embarrassing that Vance is the first millennial nominated for higher office and he ISN’T childless. Way to represent our generation bro.

I really didn’t go into writing this post to get political but election season has ramped up and we’re in the thick of it now and Republicans came for single cat people and I’m not going to take that lightly.

So what was the point of this post? It’s to announce the new man in my life!

Nope, I’m still single.

I got a new kitten! Meet Whiskey:

For those keeping score, I’m now up to 4 cats. TAKE THAT REPUBLICANS!

Whiskey has now been in our lives for two weeks. The day he came home with me, I wasn’t really intending on adopting a cat. I knew that Seminole County Animal Services was having a “Kitten Shower.” They had been overrun with kittens and were having an adoption event for $5. It had popped up on social media and I shared it to my friends and left it at that.

The next day, Saturday morning, I was heading out to run errands and there was a dead cat in the road. It had been hit by a car and the sight of it absolutely broke my heart. So I canceled my trip to Target and headed to the Animal Services building.

I got there right before the event started and my heart was full to see there were so many people waiting to see the kittens. I was number 16 in line and the waiting began. Soon enough it was my turn.

Now, keeping in mind that my three cats are all female, I went in with the mindset of getting another female cat for continuity sake. But as the cat distribution system is want to do, fate had other plans.

As we walked into the space where the kittens were, I took a look around and tried to gauge the best candidates to come home with me. One of the volunteers spotted me and asked if I wanted to hold the kitten she was holding. This was a stupid question because, it’s a kitten, of course I want to hold it. How dare you ask such a thing.

She handed me this little guy and he immediately exploded into motorcycle mode with purring galore. Then he fell asleep in my arms.
