Owner abandons fluffy black cat like a used Kleenex, so her ex-roommate stepped up to adopt her and become the purrfect pawrent: 'She's worth every penny'

Never have we seen a story that's so many things wrong and so many things right all in one place. The premise is simple - an owner abandons her fluffy black cat in the process of moving out because she didn't want to take her with her. So the now ex-roommate stepped up and adopted her, which is a purrfeclty heroic thing to do. Now they're best buds, and her new hooman is becoming a pawrent that will know feline love for a long, long time.

We can't skip over the fact that an owner left her cat, though. Cats are not toys to be discarded - they are living, breathing creatures that depend on you to survive. They need love and stability, and this ex-owner is lucky that her roommate was woman enough to step up and take care of her as her own. We don't want to think about what would have happened to her if she hadn't.

Along a similar train of thought, many cats are given as gifts during the holiday season, and as a result, many are returned because cats are not gifts, they are animals that need all parties' consent in order to bring into the family. Cats may be relatively low-maintenance, but they will still change your life once you bring them into your house. Don't be that purrson who returns a cat to a shelter because you decided it wasn't for you. It's not nice for you, and especially for the cat.
