DayLa


My dear friend Allison once told me, "A good cat is the best thing anyone could ever wish for. He'll be your boyfriend, your best friend, and your pillow all at the same time." Truer words were never spoken.
Judge me at will, but I love my cat. Just seeing his little spotted face makes me happy every day. He thinks he's smarter than me, refuses any form of discipline, and takes up more space on the couch than I do, but my adoration is unwavering. If you do not already have a cat, I sincerely suggest you get one tomorrow. It can only change your life for the better.
When I picked him up from the crazy trailer-park cat lady's house where he was born, I never would have known what an impact he would have on my life. He is my constant. I have lived in three different homes with him, had roommates come and go, gained and lost friends, but at the end of the day when I lay in bed, my DayLa is there performing his mandatory task of being the inside spoon.
My cat makes me happy.
