I got my girl (the cat formerly known as Squeaks) 12 years ago and I have spent every single moment of that time filled with joy and love for this precious animal. I was 14 when my parents took me to our local shelter “just to look” at the cats they had. A different cat came up to me and was really winning me over when Snickers appeared from nowhere, pushed the other cat out of the way, plopped herself right into my lap, and refused to budge. Right then and there I knew she was the one for me (well, really she chose me!) ♡

In the 12 years I’ve had her, I’ve graduated high school, moved out of my parents’ house, gotten married, among many other life changes. It’s been stressful at times, and hard, but I’ve always had the bestest cheerleader and cuddle buddy to come home to. I love this cat so much and I am genuinely so grateful that her former owners were selfless enough to surrender her so that I could find her. I’m fortunate enough to know the month that she was born so today we’re celebrating her with a tuna cat cake topped with some catnip and cheese (her favorite!!) 🥰

She’s such a great cat, my very bestest pal, and I wanted to share her will y’all today so you can give your cats a pet and a treat in celebration of my girl’s birthday ♡♡♡
