Against all odds, I’m gladly announcing that we made it to K’s fourth birthday. It wasn’t easy to get here, I am still on 24/7 alert mode to make sure he doesn’t play jokes on me, but we are here and that’s what matters.
These 4 years haven’t been an easy ride, with the first year being extremely hard for me psychologically (he was an unwanted gift, as some of you may remember) and the other two extremely hard for him. Yet we managed to learn from each other and to truly bond over his sicknesses. I never thought I’d think this, but he’s truly my fur child, ever since he’s been on my lap for one solid month nonstop. It feels like our relationship has been re-established and molded by that pain, that now feels a bit like a necessary experience we had to live through to understand each other. Now he’s not afraid anymore that someone will steal his food or hit him and knows the safest place to be is behind my back if anything scares him. Which is kinda everything.
I know he has one of those tiny, no-cortex brains, but we get each other and he’s really the best thing that happened to me in a long while.

Also this marks about 3 years for me on the forum
I wholeheartedly thank you all for helping me and keeping me going when things were going down the drain. Going forward, I hope I can help others as much as I’ve been helped.
