POV: Rescued Cat Explains Why They Are The Way They Are

Hi friends! Hope you are enjoying the weekend and spending quality time with your fur babies. In our humble opinion, being an animal lover is the best quality any human can have. Because with loving animals comes compassion, empathy, and thoughtfulness. They teach us so much about trust, purpose, and kindness.

However, that's not always the case. The world isn't a perfect place and the human population isn't perfect either. And unfortunately, a lot of the time animals get caught up as collateral damage. Particularly abused, abandoned, and neglected pets. We know that this is not an easy topic, it makes us tear up every time we think about it. But it needs to be talked about in order to help identify animal abuse, report it, and aid the animal if possible.

We recently came across a Twitter thread from the point of view of Jorts the cat talking about their feelings towards food, what caused them, what they look like, and how you can help.

The 'it's not a food or eating issue, it's a feelings issue' truly breaks our hearts. This is an important topic to talk about so that fellow rescue parents will be able to understand their cats rescued cats' behavior better. All of us just want to form amazing connections full of love, trust, and security.

"This contributes to my trash can mishaps (but also sometimes l'm just having fun tbh)."
That's understandable. No matter how tough life gets, we must never forget to have a little bit of fun.
"I also don't eat my meal right away if nobody is around, in case they don't come back to ever feed me again."
We cry.
