Women be crazy, right? Men are never the crazy ones. They may be mentally and physically abusive, but we don’t call ‘em crazy.

Thank you, Chris Pratt, for voluntarily removing yourself from the debate on which Chris is best.

My cat will tolerate my husband carrying her around, but has less patience with me.

I’ve had my rescue kitten since she was 5 months old. Had only owned dogs, never cats before. I was in college raising her with 0 help from any previous cat owners... she was held like this all the time since it felt most natural to me. Now she purrs like crazy when I do it.

And if your cat -really- trusts you when you hold them like this, their spine disintegrates completely and they turn into kitty putty which is, frankly, magic.

My adoptive parents both have pretty serious mental health issues. My brother (their biological son) seems to have inherited the absolute worst of it from both sides suddenly in his mid 30s. Depression and anxiety runs on my husbands family and I have anxiety and ADHD. I don’t see the need to pass that on and I’ve…
