Cat chooses you.

One time, I was putting in my window air conditioner on a Memorial Day weekend. Air conditioner is crooked, I'm annoyed.

I'm in shorts and sandals, and I feel something... fuzzy... brush past my ankles. I look down, there's nothing there.

I go back to contemplating the crookedness of my air conditioner. About the time I'm realizing my air conditioner is level but my cheapskate apartment's window is crooked, I feel that... fuzzyness... across my ankles again.

I look down and this time there is this T I N Y grey-stripey kitten staring up at me. Looking at me like "you're my human now, kay?" So of course I scooped him up, and he immediately set to purring.

That was it. I had a cat now. He lived to be like 13 and grew up to be fucking enormous. Never overweight, just goddamn huge. Used to sleep on my feet every night... like a rock.
