And my brother-in-law had PTSD from 3 tours in Vietnam. A couple of days a month, he just couldn't go to work because of stress (fortunately, his supervisor was very understanding). My BIL would lie on the sofa all day with his cat, Murphy, lying on his chest, purring the whole time. My BIL said the cat got him through the worst of times. He went to therapy eventually, fortunately.

When I had cancer in 1990, the chemotherapy every 2 weeks would give me 8 straight hours of severe vomiting, every 10 minutes. It would stop as suddenly as it started. I would then take a shower, and force myself to stay awake so I could adequately rehydrate. During the 8 hours, I would curl up on my bed. Any movement would bring on the next run to the bathroom. My cats would crouch on a hard chair at the end of the bed for the entire 8 hours, watching me. Only when they could tell I was through getting sick would they join me on the bed.

Our shelters here in western NY have "empty the shelter" events sponsored by Bissell, where Bissell will cover adoption fees for cats over the age of 3. Keep an eye out in your area.

Thank you, Noah - I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability, gave my fur guys an extra hug today

SCHWAG, Noah?

My wife just got the hiccups, and the fish thing worked!

I’m broken over your diatribe… I’m so very sorry for you and Lucinda. We do the world for our fur babies, because sometimes they are our world. With the softest of. soft hugs to you both, love Kitty & Seal 🐱 x🇦🇺

My mom died a couple years ago. What keeps my father going is their cat. She is there for him everyday and gives him unconditional love. I’m in Florida he is in NY, so I really can’t be there for him physically. So the cat is his closet family. My sister lives nearby but she is a hardcore Trumper so my dad would rather deal with the cat than her nonsense.

Trump is charged. History is made. This will be in history books for decades/centuries. Except Florida.

Beautiful tribute, Noah. And your last line is one I'll remember for a long time.

Wasn't expecting to cry in the diatribe, but it is an important one. The gf and I lost our goodest boy of 14 years last year, and the worst part is we can't afford to get another. So yeah...
