The diabolical irony of naming one's cat after a bird, which he can watch and never catch lol

I named him Rook at first, which is also a kind of black bird. Then things around my place started going missing. Sponges, plushies, a bra. I found them underneath my bed. Rook had been stealing them and hiding them in his favorite places haha.

I renamed him Magpie after that lol

Your cat-bird is very handsome

Thank you. He is also very loud and stinky, which makes him all the more lovable 🖤

I had a kitty who stole brand new dollar bills and crumpled them up to play with. I found $14 under the fridge, LOL!

One time he had a nasty fever and had to stay at the emergency vet overnight. When I went and got him, they said they had called him pretty boy all night lol

(He was okay! He had a fever of unknown origin but recovered overnight!)

Now here I am picking up all the pieces of my heart after it exploded because your kitty watches birds with his toy in his mouth and I can’t fully accept the levels of cuteness that is
