And when I say that I'm being quite serious. Before Pauley moved in with me she was living with girl she thought was her friend. This person emotionally abused Pauley. And when she left, Pauley was a broken vessel.
She lost so much weight. When I finally got her home I could assess how severe it was and I cried cuz when I lived with her I made sure we had food. Well she was skin and bones and sharp angles. She was 6'2" and 110lbs.
I made sure she ate healthy meals and she showed interest in learning how to cook so I taught her a few easy recipes. Unfortunately I got too sick to stand in the kitchen so it became necessary for her to cook our meals. I finally got a bar stool so I can sit in the kitchen. We work together now. I got her hooked on delicious veggies.
She gained weight and finally looked like a healthy kitten. But I knew emotionally, there was a thing I needed to do. I bought her a really pretty purple skirt and top and she wears it when we go to fancy events.
We very rarely raise our voices at each other. We talk through our troubles and pain like adults.
I am still working on helping rehab my kitten but she's come a long way. I'm very proud of her.
Our 2 year anniversary is on August 21st.
