Cats are gifts — not something we’re entitled to, but something we’re grateful for.

As someone who doesn’t have a cat myself, I know too well the desperate need to pet one.

For many of us in the postgraduate community, this one-year life in a vast, overwhelming city could use a little feline warmth.

I want to make sure that people like me — catless but full of love — can still share in the joy these little gifts bring.

I dream of a world where every kind, wandering human gets to be sniffed by a cat — or, even better, gets adopted by one.
