Yes! I have two cats, Bella and Iris. Iris is only 4 and she likes to hang out with my brother, while Bella is 14 and she is my best friend. She sleeps in my bed and always wants to cuddle and play c: I love her so much I can't even explain it. She got really sick this summer and it was terrifying. She's doing alright now though. She's the cutest little old lady.
Well I actually don't live in NYC, but I do live in New York. I briefly moved to Brooklyn for a couple of months last year and I didn't really like it but I was severely depressed and I didn't really leave my place much lol.
