funny things always happen the way they’re supposed to and when they’re supposed to. our new intern has quite the soft spot for our four legged friends, me too. she took it to another level and i thought this true story was so incredibly heartwarming that i had to share it.
enjoy and thank god for people like marcy!

i’ve always been a sucker for cute cats, but in the beginning meow was a little rough around the edges if i'm being honest. without fail, she followed me home everyday for months, sometimes waiting hours on the porch while i was in class. even when she was nowhere to be seen, meow was always nearby and would appear instantly when i called her name. i bathed meow, combed her, rode two hours in an uber to take her to the vet, and set out a cardboard box where she slept every night.
i met fan (aka meow's savior) in a group chat for stray animals on an app called wechat. that same day, we met in person and i handed her meow and told her everything i knew about her, leaving out the part that she had never lived inside before...i instructed her to take care of meow until she either found someone to adopt her or i came back for her.
four months later in april 2016 i returned to shanghai and picked up meow. she rode under the passengers seat in the cabin like a seasoned jet-setter. once in america, meow's new life of feline glamour really took off.
today, meow’s favorite hobbies include watching sports, napping in the sun, eating treats, and observing her owner. it's funny how meow never wants to go outside anymore -- it's as if she had enough of the outdoors for a lifetime and knows how lucky she is today. whatever the case, i’m sure glad this cat is in my life and followed me home...all the way back to the u.s.a.!
