FAIR WARNING - long story, lotsa photos and videos to break it up though
A few months ago I was looking for advice on dogs, specifically italian greyhounds. I had just graduated college and was moving across the US to michigan to start my life as an employeed adult.
Unfortunately, in my apartment search, it was quickly found that NOTHING was dog friendly
Every single apartment was no dogs, and most were even no cats!
I did eventually setting on an apartment that I love
(totally unique renovated retail space, and all of the apartments are store themed; I live in "landon boutique", I have a hat shop on one side of me and a theater on the other)
and they did end up being cat friendly, so I started thinking that I could make myself a cat person xD
I'd attempted to getmyself excited over cats, so I went ahead and planned my ideal cat. His name was supposed to be Henry, or Professory Henry McFluffikins III. And he was going to be an old snooty old man of a cat.
After a week or so of living in Michigan, I spent several days dipping into the local pet co and playing with the cats that were being shown for the local animal control.
The first couple times I went they were nothing that caught my eye specifically. I remember specifically a rambuncious kitten that was adorable, but not something I wanted to deal with.
BUT... then I walked in one day, and I just glance over at the cages and notice there was a new cat, but even before I saw the cat, I saw the new name sign for "Harry"
I squeed at his old man name and rushed over.
He was balled up and snoozin away, completely disinterested in me
BUT HE WAS SO FLUFFY!!

EXACTLY the cat for me! Professor /Harry/ McFluffikins III!
it was after work that day, the store was closing, and I didn't have all the paperwork they needed to adopt him out ;A; so I had to walk away and just pray that no one adopted him before I could get back. (which was easier said than done, because in my mind, this is the most perfect cat ever, and everyone is going to want my perfect kitty)
but! He was there when I went over at lunch the next day (because I was going crazy at work and had to make sure he was still there)
and he was still there when I finally came back after work to bring him home! Even though I had to give some lady and her family the stink eye when they were all hovering and petting him through the bars when I walked up
"MY KITTY!"

SO! I ran around the store spent some obnoxious amount of money on cat things!
(Which, by the way! if you adopt a cat from PetCo [and I'm sure petsmart], they give you a coupon book that gets you all kinds of deals! free litter, 50% off any food, a free toy, 10$ off a furminator brush, 10$ off a covered litter box, 10$ off a carrier, AND WAY MORE! I saved about a third of the cost from the coupons!) plus, I signed up for a petco pals card that day and got another 10% of everything
so I packed harry up in his brand new carry, and he cried WEE WEE WEE all the way home oAo
I felt like the most evil person in the world
got him home and decided he'd spend the first night in the bathroom, just to make sure he'd be OK in a house, that he'd find his litter box OK, etc

except... After a few hours, I felt like a horrible person, so he ended up in my room... sleeping in my bed

He's s goofy, fluffy, adorable, loveable and just a good kitty ;u;
And he's a healthy kitty too
We went to the vet that weekend and he got a clean bill of health, and extra love from his vet since she said he looks just like her cat
