Oh no! The purring lap cat vs those puppy dog eyes! That is the world's toughest conundrum.

Cancel your plans. Them are the rules. Thou shall not disturb the purring feline.

Happiest of birthday wishes! Have a fabulous weekend!

Sending hugs. Brain chemistry is a bitch! Going through it here too. I’m always here if a Zoom call could cheer you up or just be a distraction. ❤️❤️

I love this story so much. ❤️
