“I’m connected to my cats. I’ve had them for I think six years. I remember coming home one day and my mom had a surprise in her bedroom and it was two cats, two very small kittens. They were small enough to be held in my hand, and they’ve been around me most of my life. Every day when I come home, I just see them sitting on my bed or eating food or messing around with the garbage can or something. It’s always been nice to have a little person there to eat by my side.”
