August 29th, 2018 started the same as any other day. Little did I know, this would become a very special day with the arrival of a new roommate. A medium sized orange tabby cat was nervously sitting on my couch when I came home. Turned out my roommate, Lexi, found “kitty” in a local parking lot and decided to rescue her.

Me being the cat lover that I am, I immediately took full responsibility in caring for her. We spent some time and a couple trips to the vet, attempting to locate her previous owners. With that being unsuccessful, we started to realize that our new guest may be a permanent one. When I informed my parents of this, they were none too excited. Of course they told me all the non practical reasons for being a pet owner while in college. You know, all that logical parent stuff. After bombarding my family with selfies displaying how happy I was with my new friend, I think I finally swayed their opinion.

Every good cat needs a name. I kept searching for name ideas and I stumbled across ‘Maizy’. Its definition implied things of fall and golden colors which resembled her natural burnt autumn coat. I knew it was a perfect fit. Life with “Maizy” has proven to be more beneficial than I had ever thought.

Hi cat people! My name is Brooke and we most likely share the same interest. I’m a sophomore at Texas State University, which is located in San Marcos, Texas, a.k.a. the cutest little college town there ever was. In my free time, I like to surround myself with good friends and music.

As you may tell, I love cats (especially my own). I’ve been inspired to blog about my cat because I could talk about her for hours to anyone. This is the fourth cat I’ve had in my lifetime, so I’ve learned a lot of little tricks when it comes to taking care of these guys. She came about in my life as a surprise, and I wanted to share how our little lives crossed paths.

I’m hoping throughout this blog, you may learn some new things or even just enjoy a cute little love story between me and my beloved furry friend. I practically document everything my cat does, who you are soon to meet, and I’m excited to share her with you all. I hope you love our story as much as I do.
