Happy Anniversary P

If you know me personally, you’ll know that my cat Princess Elizabeth, or P, or Peeps, is the centre of my universe. I was talking to my friends about her today, and we agreed that it seems wild that she’s only been our lives for a year. Her impact seems so much bigger.

I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, and always had pets, but P has been the first pet I’ve had by myself, in my own home. I never felt lonely before she arrived, but now I don’t know how I’d be in my flat without her pacing around, sticking her paws in my tea and nibbling my toes.

I have never loved anyone or anything the way I love her. It’s not to say that I love her more than the people in my life, but the love you have for a pet is so unique, and so singular. We are truly blessed to have animals.

P came to me from Boote Home for Cats, a wonderful organisation that takes care of so many abused and unloved kitties across the city. Please do consider donating to them if you have any spare funds, and if you’re near the city and want to adopt a cat, I couldn’t recommend them more.

Happy one year Peeps. Here’s to many more of being loved by everyone who meets you.
