I remember calling for them. it was 12:00 am and was really cold. I haven’t seen them all day, and my anxiety grows as seconds pass by. As soon as I was about to give up and go back home, I hear a faint scraggly “meow”. I turned around. and there he was.  One brown cat running out the bushes coming to greet me. Seconds later, another cat come out, an orange one, following the brown one. I smile and say “Hey bravery and Chaz”. I realized how weird it was talking to two cats, but I didn’t care. They went from running away from me just by the mere sight, to frantically chasing me by the sound of my voice. It was odd, but they were so important to me, even though they were two strays. They had their own little quirks and personality, especially when they know you have food. They were days where I felt so alone, and only they could truly cheer me up. Today was a really long day at work, and I felt like I didn’t really do a good job. Its weird, but that made me feel a bit insecure. Then when i see them, I feel like someone who is truly appreciated and loved.  I met so many wonderful people due to how loved they are in the neighborhood. They may just be two strays, but they have such a huge impact on my life. As well as sparking my interest to be a wildlife vet.
