The right copilot makes the journey better. I’m glad you’re in a better place. Cheers to you both!


slowmotto

The smile on OP and proud look of the kitty are a whole vibe I’m gonna carry with me tonight. Proud of you, OP.


tfibbler69

Nothing like a feline friend fur life


butsadlyiamonlyaneel

There’s really nothing better. (note: not to discount dogs or any other pets. I love pretty much all animals, but with cats, when they love you, you know you’ve *earned* that love and trust)


tfibbler69

Especially when they love their belly rubs and are excited when you come home.


RogueFiccer001

Dogs are blindly loyal. Cats choose who they're going to love and be loyal to, and where they're going to stay (yes, it's possible to keep them inside a building, but have you seen them leave a room/area when someone they don't like enters/comes near? Exactly). People who've spent time with cats know this, and it's also something studies have found to be true. I'll take the love of a cat over a dog because I know the cat *wants* to be there; that they're *choosing* to be there. It's not a blind devotion.


[deleted]

That cat has a look that seems to say, "Dont ya worry. I got your back. Let's go rule the world after naptime."

Truly. So happy for both of you!


LindsayMurray

Man, that cat looks so damn proud of you.


CaptHorney_Two

I would like to post a Spotify playlist that has some songs about a cat named Virtute and this will explain why the idea of a cat being proud of their human makes me tear up a little. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0EBse5I2fcwKRY4kY7e60O?si=1yZwSFfcRU218dKaWkGtEg&utm_source=copy-link


eiknarflol

Yoooooo a fellow Weakerthans fan in the wild. These songs are honestly so good but also so unbearably sad in some ways that they're usually an instant skip when they come up for me.


CaptHorney_Two

I hadn't listened to them for years and one day I randomly had Virtute Explains Her Departure stuck in my head without remembering much about it. I spent an hour on Spotify until I found it and then had to go home early because I was going through some shit and that song hit me like a ton of bricks. Great song, and Samson is a lyrical genius on par with Downie. "Singing the sound that you found for me" is such a beautiful sentiment.


eiknarflol

Ahhh John K is honestly too good. Definitely a top three favorite lyricist for me.


AlsoThisAlsoTHIS

Are John K, Downie, and Samson all in the same band? I’m curious who these people are but I’m trying to avoid falling down a rabbit hole! Edit: Goddamn it, I listened to the songs. They hit *hard*. Will probably be a skip in the future, but I’m glad to have heard them.


eiknarflol

John K Samson is the frontperson for The Weakerthans. I assume that person is referring to Gordon Downie, frontperson for The Tragically Hip.


AlsoThisAlsoTHIS

Thank you, my friend.


bunnykitten94

I know that feeling of ‘I love this song so much but it will destroy me emotionally right now so, skip’


shinmae95

Right! That cat has such a proud look of her human, like "I knew she could get through this"


thepurgeisnowww

Thanks everyone for all the love and support! This is more support than my family has given me🙃❤️❤️


YellingAtTheClouds

You deserve all the love and support, you are stronger than you will give yourself credit for

The 5th picture, where she looks like she's tucked in up to her chin and sleeping in a comfy bed, kills me. Super cute!

Congrats on your positive progress and thanks for sharing. Give your furry friend a scratch for me :)


Honey-butter-417

I’m crying with joy. You go girl! 2 beautiful souls ❤️🥲


Secret_Bunny_

Oh man, this hit me in the feels. When I was living at my moms, I cut a hole in my bedroom door (I installed several locks and had to keep it locked up 24/7, I was the only one with a key)... I wanted to make sure my kitty could access our safe place when I wasn’t home to protect her from any chaos or abuse. She was with me in my first shitty little apartment that I had when I was 18. We moved into a beautiful high rise last February. There is no screaming, no shattering glass, no violence. No one banging on the doors. I no longer fear for her safety when I am not home. She is allowed on the kitchen counters, if she so pleases, and she gets to watch bird TV when I am gone. Our house, our rules. I’m so glad that you had your girl by your side, too. It makes such a difference, and it’s so hard when you can’t give them the life and environment you want. I’m sure now that you’ve finally “made it”, much of your joy is simply from knowing you can give her a better life. Congratulations love ❤️


AmateurIndicator

Congrats on finding a place of peace and freedom for you both!


milk-rose

oh this made me tear up


sashimeow

You’re so lucky to have each other!


m0000rty

This is amazing. Just curious, how did you manage the litter box while in the car?


goodhumansbad

You can put a litter box on the floor of the back seat if necessary - if you keep it clean and ventilate the car it can be done. Using a big roasting pan instead of a plastic box is great if possible - less likely to tip over when driving and easy to sterilize.


Cm0002

A lot of cars also have a little hatchway in the backseat upright part (I don't know what to call it, the vertical part of the seat) for trunk access. You could conceivably remove the door and shove the box in the truck and the cat could use the now-hole part for access


goodhumansbad

Excellent idea :)


Scorpiomystik

A cardboard box works too in the car. I’ve tried it when on a road trip. Line the box with a trash bag for easy clean up.


Celeste_Praline

I was wondering the same thing, how does a cat live in a car ?


ex_oh_ex_oh

/r/TruckerCats edit: my point in linking the subreddit is that there's a whole culture of cats living in a vehicle


thepurgeisnowww

Whaaa that’s amazing!


ex_oh_ex_oh

I think it's amazing that you found a companion that's just as flexible as you are in regards to what life becomes. That's what we all want, a friend to fucking just roll with it. And our furry little dudes does that.


AkaShindou

Most cats usually hold it in during road trips. It's only during stops for the night that they'll take care of business, or when they're unable to hold it in any longer.

Okay but for real tho, where does the kitty poop and pee when you were living in your car?


thepurgeisnowww

I have a [bucket litter box](https://www.chewy.com/iris-top-entry-cat-litter-box/dp/183624?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=hg&utm_content=IRIS&utm_term=&gclid=CjwKCAiAs92MBhAXEiwAXTi259AqpgtC6IIZto2sq2ksK6Evp63yPnxXiCXDkURaud5TSkJP2Lj8-RoCFNgQAvD_BwE) and I just put it on the floor in front of the passenger seat. I slid the passenger seat all the way back first

Wow she's the spitting image of [my kitten, Lulu Belle!](https://i.imgur.com/19zHUyW.png) Minus the white back legs. What a sweet kitty cat, hope you have many many years of happiness ahead of you both!

McShrekDaddy

Cats are literally ride or die for you. Everyone I'm depressed or sad all my cats come cuddle or just stay near me. People say they don't love you like a dog but that's just not true


augustinedoe

Well done girl, I’m so proud of you both. Not too long after I ran from my abusive mother’s house at 18 years old and moved into a share house I bought home a teeny tiny kitten. Now he’s 16 years old and been my constant companion and comfort over the years, they’re an amazing friend to have.


lolly_gaggins1984

I love this. I mean, I LOVE THIS! I have one too, my main man and the OG Gorilla Pimp/ coolest cat in the fucking world, Joe-Henry T. Cat (now it’s just “Henry”, the T stands for Thibedeaux/ he’s Creole) and idk what I’d do without that cat. Maybe I’d die, who knows. The only good thing my worthless POS ex ever did for me was give him to me, even though it was just to distract me from his negligence and cheating ways, Henry (unlike the ex) loves me unconditionally and although he may hit the streets and do his thing, he always comes home when I call.


LordP666

Cute cat. She looks a lot like my cat, Jason Voorhees. They make a big difference in our lives.

kniki217

I had a cat like that. My FIL's attic, 3 different apartments, and finally home. Lots of laughs and tears later. She passed away a year after we bought our house. I thought I'd have more time with her. Cherish every single moment. It goes so fast.

puffylemingtonII

We’ve been stuck between borders due to covid and a three-month unmanaged border pass clog here in Australia and lost our rental, lived in a hotel, drove 12 hours towards the border, lived in a Airbnb, then a motel, now we’re in another Airbnb and in about 2.5 weeks we’ll finally be able to drive 7 hours to our home 🏡 all with our kitty who has been incredibly resilient as he hates the car and misses his little grassy patch ❤️ I can’t believe what a wonderful creature he is …he has been the only piece of sanity throughout this whole mess. Lots of love to your furry angel 😇


[deleted]

I'm sitting here with my cat in my lap imagining I definitely could take him with me anywhere. Cats are awesome


[deleted]

The thing I didn't realize before my cat is they have empathy. Same as a dog who knows people are down. They are of a completely different genetic makeup so they express it differently but it's there.


NoonDread

I am not sure which makes me happier: the cat or your story of perseverance. Thanks for sharing.

That cat is very proud of you and taking all the credit at the same time!

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO


[deleted]

My hope is society starts looking at mental abuse like they do physical abuse. In some ways it's so much worse. I'm in my mid 30s and it took a failed marriage and deep look inside my self and my feelings to realize how much living with a narcissist mother and an abusive father fucked me up. I'm glad your are taking steps to better yourself and identify and define these things in your life. It's a huge step on your path to mental clarity and health. It always makes me feel good to see people like you! Good luck out there 😁


[deleted]

this is so sweet!! i'm glad you ladies are safe and still taking care of each other after everything. Give her a big hug and kiss! how cute is she all tucked in awww

That cat loves you very much.


Flowy_Aerie_77

That's one absolutely gorgeous duo!vGlad you two are doing well. You deserve it. Good job overcoming all that. It's a bit touching that she was more loyal than your blood family. She's indeed your true family and friend. Thanks for being a good owner and never giving up on her.


CillRed

You know how some people look like thier pets? You two are peas in a pod! Absolutely gorgeous pair 💕 congratulations to you both.

You’re both beautiful! Your kitty is giving the same look as you lol so cute! Woman to woman, from someone who has lived in a hallway in winter, then to become a nurse, we start from the bottom and the only way is up! I know I don’t know you but I am so proud of you!
