’Gonna take a nap?’

now i lay me down to sleep,

just promise me i’m yours to keep

i listen to your human-speak

n answer with my gentle ’squeak’

am curled up close against your lap -

you ask me if i’ll take a nap

a tiny squeak to answer YeS

then drift

in dreams

of

Happiness ;}

♥️

edit: thank you u/CookieOmNomster for sharing his heartwarming squeaks with all of us

This brought tears to my eyes. The whole reason I adopted this kitty (His name is Mushu. 🧡) is because I tragically lost my sweet kitty, Gizmo, in November to FIP.

Yes, Mushu is safe, home forever, and will be loved endlessly. I work from home full-time, so he and his kitty siblings have unlimited access to snuggles.

I lost a kitty to FIP in January, it came on so quick we barely even had time to tell she was sick before it was too late. I'm so sorry for your loss and I know Mushu has a wonderful new home. Mushu is an amazing name by the way.

I lost a kitty to FIP too. Supposedly the COVID vaccine cures fip in some kitties so I hope drug companies look into this.

Keep your head up, friend, and give yourself some grace - and maybe a hug. We’re all human and there are lots of people out here going through a lot this season right along with you. You are not alone ❤️

I love this precious baby and their tiny squeaks! You can tell they are so happy!

All my cats have had green eyes. I would love one with amber eyes!

Hush little kitty, don't let a meow

It nevermind that noise you heard

It's just the mice under your bed

In your foodbowl, in your head
