When I was a child, I always wanted a dog for a pet. However, most of my family members are allergic to dogs, so we needed to find an alternative. After several fishes and insects, we still longed for an animal to cuddle with. One lucky day we were blessed with a kitty whom we aptly named Esther. Esther is one of the cutest and smartest cats that a family could have. And the most devious. And who deserves grapes served on a golden platter like any queen. Now that I live away from home, I ventured out one day to seek my own feline companion. It did not take very long before my boyfriend and I were acquainted with Neko at the shelter. It was meant to be. Neko is the most affectionate critter alive with nine lives. Even my boyfriend loves him despite his aversion to cats in the past. I have never been as happy as a kitty with catnip as I have been with my sweet, little furry creature. So although I may not have gotten the dog I always wanted, cats have stolen my heart like a ball of yarn. This sweater represents my feline fever, and my DIY dalmatian print nails are a subtle reminder of my ongoing secret adoration for dogs. Someday, Neko will have a little canine friend. But for now I am going to enjoy a much needed cat nap while dreaming of autumn. Meow.
