'If you had told me prior to adopting my cat that I’d be crying on the dance floor over him, I’d have told you to get a grip.' | ✍️ JamesBesanvalle

That’s when I locked eyes with my husband, Matt, on the dance floor and he gave me a reassuring hand squeeze. Suddenly, tears started welling up in my eyes as I thought about my cat, Pookie.

Within about 15 minutes, he was excitedly jumping all over us and the furniture, enthusiastically exploring every room.

On 11 January this year, I was on a work Zoom call when I noticed Pookie struggling to walk before collapsing. We picked him up, popped him on the bed and gave him lots of cuddles.
