Gus


My cat Gus.

He's more than just a cat. He's a friend.

When I cry, he's always there for me. When I'm happy, he's happy with me.

He doesn't care that I don't shower sometimes. He only cares that he gets food and belly rubs.

Gus gets mad whenever I leave him for too long, because then he doesn't have his bed warmer.

He loves me unconditionally, so I return the affection.

I give him peanut butter, he licks my shower curtain.

(It's an interesting relationship.)

I wouldn't be alive today without him.

We saved each other.

I love you, Gus.
