I want a CAT!!!!

I want one so bad!!!

Ever since I was a little girl, I've always wanted a cat.

My friends all had cats and I'd spend hours during slumber parties playing with their pets.

But, my parents don't like animals in the house. I wasn't allowed to have a cat.

I've been seeing a lot of cats around the nieghborhood and they're so nice to me. I feel really calm when I'm around them. Just sitting and petting them makes me really happy and helps a lot with my axiety and depression. But, they never stay around for very long. They all run away. I think getting my own cat would help me a lot.

I even found one at the local animal shelter that I really like. He's a russian blue mix and he's had all his shots. He's been fixed already and he's house trained. Here's a picture of him.

It's $55 to adopt a cat. I have the money, but I know my parents would never let me keep him.

I'm in tears right now because I want to adopt him so badly.

I know that having a cat in the house would help so much with my anxiety and depression. It would help me so MUCH!!

I have a dog, but he lives outside and can't come in the house. I can't cuddle with him in the middle of the night. I can't pet him when I'm feeling sad. I can't talk to him in my room when I need someone to listen to me. He's outside, sheds a lot, and has a hound smell, so he can't come inside. It takes too much effort to try and reach him when I'm upset.

I love my dog. He's a good dog. I wouldn'y give him up for the world, but it's hard wanting to have a pet to cuddle with on the sofa and he's outside.

I'm so upset about this...,

I need a cat!
