This is Siouxsie. I woke up one morning in a really bad place, saw a photo of her litter being sold online and said ‘I only want that one’.

Well - she was the only one left. So that was that, immediately. Maybe she was waiting for me. I’d never had a cat before, but the past two years of my life have been filled with a kind of love I didn’t know existed. Sooze, Soo Deng, Siouxsie Moo: you saved my life and you don’t even know it. Bed invader, paper shredder, tiny nuisance of my heart.

Anyone else get their cat on an impulse and wouldn’t change it for the world?
