Suffocated
*Content Warning topics like Sexual Assault are talked about in this story* It is easy to get wrapped up in good looks and niceness. By doing so, you don’t see the red flags that pop up like bread in a toaster. I should have seen them sooner and left. Instead, I got wrapped up in his chocolate brown eyes, silky soft hair, and prince charming smile. I almost hate myself for how attracted I was to him. He was nice to me, and now because of him,I can’t be fooled by every nice person that walks into my life.

My life is kind of crazy. Usually one maybe two animals max are all a family needs for a furry companion. I grew up with two wonderful cats. Our first adopted was Chopper, she was one years old at the time of her adoption. At our local Humane Society any animal over a year old was a "name your own fee" most people would cheap out and say like ten maybe 20 dollars. Not this family, we offered 120 dollars for this black and gold beauty. She was a skittish little thing but as time went on she warmed up to us. About a year later my family felt as though Chopper was lonely so we packed into the car and took a trip over to the humane society and that day we went home with a multicolored fluffy tabby cat named Starla. She brought so much joy to Choppers life, at first they despised each other but eventually learned to love one another. They spent the next 12 years together, then one day the family packed into the car once again and went to another local humane society, later that day we brought home a tree walking coon hound named Ace. The size of his paws were massive at a young age of three months old. He was going to be a big boy. Needless to say Chopper, Starla and Ace all had a love hate relationship. Still to this day they don't get along very well but are learning to coexist. A normal family would stop at three animals especially when there's a dog living with two cats. To say the animals ruled the house is an understatement. Keeping the trend going, a year later my brother adopted a spunky and sassy "tiger" cat—she looks like a tiger—named Romeo, she is the sassiest cat I think I have ever met. As you can tell we really like the boy names for girls. Life was great, we were surrounded by furry companions. Two years later my brother was volunteering at the local humane society that we adopted Ace from, he came across this orange tabby cat. He had a severely injured back right leg. My brother fell in love with the cat's face and bold personality. We were informed that this specific cat was run over by a car and would need to have his leg amputated if he wanted to live a long and healthy life moving forward. Being the family that we are we took on the honorable challenge of bringing home an amputee animal. Needless to say, we were outnumbered at this point. There were more animals living in the house than humans. Harley, the amputee cat, hobbled at first but as he gained the strength in his legs he was faster than the other cats in the house. Those animals saved us we weren't the ones who saved them. Unfortunately at the age of 17, we lost Chopper. She was our first ever fur baby and it was a tough one to overcome. She meant the absolute world to not only us but the other animals in the house especially Starla. These animals are stray to stay. We have learned that we will take in any animal that is sick or needs help and we will give them the life they deserved just like we did with Chopper and will continue to do with our other companions. Forever in our hearts, Chopper.
