My New Best Friend: My Annoying Cat

My annoying cat's complete and utter devotion and instance on spending time with me and even, odd as this may seem, comforting me when I am down and missing my boys--maybe he misses them too?--is making it very hard for me to be annoyed with him.

He was my bud before I got married, and he stuck around after the separation and divorce. I can't say the same for...a lot of people. He was there when we brought our new baby boys home and there through the long sleepless nights of caring for infant twins. 

He waited patiently while I focused all my love and affection on my boys, at his expense. It made him depressed at times, too. But I just did not have any energy left to devote to his emotional needs. 

And he was there through this entire...process of transition, despite being largely ignored most of the time. 

Recently, he has taken a more proactive approach to getting his emotional needs met, with an apparent emphasis on unconditional love and forgiveness. 

He simply loves being with me, and he loves my boys (I'd be lucky to find a girl with those traits). I know dogs are all the rage when it comes to loyalty, but my cat has gone above and beyond. 

He's a good cat...perhaps even a good friend. He used to be my "baby" before I had babies, but our roles have changed--we are both older now (and not getting any younger).

Of course, he does still annoys me, but I am sure he can say the same about me.
