Will you share your fondest memory of your pet?

My partner and I have two cats.

My fondest memory of our older kitty is when she scaled my clothes to get to the top of the closet and then got very grumpy when she couldn’t find her way back down. I sent a snap story of her and had a good laugh throughout the afternoon over how her curiosity sometimes gets the better of her.

My fondest memory or our younger kitty is when I received a revise and resubmit on a graduate exam. I was devastated and spent an entire day sobbing in bed. This kitty isn’t usually the most affectionate (not mean, per se, just not snuggly) but she spent the majority of that day in bed with me, curled up in my arms, as I wept.

Whether a pet is currently a member of your family or has passed on, tell me your fondest memory of them. Is it a funny memory about their shenanigans that makes you laugh? Or a memory of loyalty or love that makes you want to give them all the pets and snugs?
