This cat is compromising my marriage. Am I insane? I swept that aside. I’m gonna go get this cat any possible way I can. Someone posted a picture of a little tri-pod cat. The message was like, “needs to be out of the shelter today, the staff is euthanizing their kittens.” As I’m staring at his photograph, and then this is going to sound crazy, his eyes are like, “Mike, come and get me.”
Something in me was like, “I’m coming to get this cat. Where are you located?” Then I looked up where the shelter was, specifically. It was about eight hours away. A part of me was like, “Okay, am I being just crazy and like manic?” So I am in the car, and I’m on the way to pick up Zorro. Excited, I’m nervous. Part of me thinks I’m insane. But when I saw his face and I saw that there was a possibility that he might be euthanized, there’s something in my gut that said, “Go get this boy. Stay tuned.”
I left here at 7:05. Times I’ve been there, it was dark. Look who I have. I have Zorro. I’m so happy. We are gonna flip around, and we are gonna drive straight back to San Francisco with stops and everything. It was almost 20 hours. When I finally got him home, it was about 3 AM. The next morning, I woke up because I was excited. I was like, “I want to see this little buddy.” Have you ever heard about no privacy at this point? I just love them.
I have two cats of my own. My husband was very clear and adamant that we are not getting the third cat. So I put out a message to the world, hesitantly, like, “Hey, Zorro’s available for adoption.” Like me saying, as nobody responds, please, nobody responds. Because at this point, I was starting to think, like, I am never gonna be able to let go of this cat. My husband’s still saying we’re not keeping him. The third time that he had said that, I just…I wasn’t listening. For the fourth time, he’s like, “The serious talk. I just want to be clear that I am not open to having a third cat.” I again just went silent because I’m like, “Okay, like in court, that is your argument, and my argument is he’s not going anywhere.”
So I’m like, “I’m keeping him.” And I feel like now we’ve bonded. We would like to announce that Zorro has found his Trevor home with me.
So with door, he’s worth it. And putting my merits on the line sounds ridiculous, but it’s true. I don’t care. At the same time, he’s kind of falling in love with Zorro. He came to the beach with us, and like had this moment. And Zorro kind of goes to sleep next to him sometimes. I’m willing to risk it all for Zorro. We’re just waiting for the doctors. They’re not gonna poke you. Okay? I love you.
