Can you believe it? It’s been almost a year and a half since my cats moved in with Mom, and they’ve made themselves completely at home in the garage — complete with cozy napping spots, plenty of toys, and fresh food and water always within reach. They’ve truly settled in like they own the place. Once we finally bring all five cats into the main house, though, it’s going to be absolute, beautiful chaos. I can already picture tufts of fur drifting across every inch of the hardwood floors and tumbling down the stairs like tiny furry tumbleweeds!

Let’s be real — cat life isn’t cheap. Between quality cat food, treats, scratching posts, cat toys, and veterinary care, the monthly expenses add up faster than you’d think. Mom has been an absolute lifesaver throughout this whole journey, pitching in with litter and surprising the cats with new toys every now and then. Caring for five cats truly takes a village, and I honestly couldn’t do any of it without her love and support. 🙏🙌❤️
