She would never

Come when called. She heard you. She assessed the situation. She decided no.

She would absolutely

Sit on Max’s chest at 3am during an anxiety spiral and purr until it stopped. 

Her Story

Farrah was Jane’s (Max’s therapist,) idea. Max came to therapy talking about the noise in her head, and Jane said almost nothing for forty five minutes and then wrote one thing on the notepad and turned it around.

It said: “Get a cat.”

Max was skeptical. The cat was not. Farrah moved in, assessed the entire house in twenty minutes, selected the best chair, and has not moved from it unless she decided to. She does not cuddle on demand. She does not perform. She shows up at exactly the right moment, sits on Max’s chest, and purrs at a frequency that apparently resets the nervous system.

Farrah has really good hair, and that is their bond. Max brushes it daily, and this keeps her calm. Farrah enjoys it, so it’s a win-win.  If Max could take her with her to the blowout bar to get a blowout, she would.  Farah knows she has good hair. She also knows she rules the house. Max’s kids know Farrah is HER cat. 

A Random Fact

She is named after Farrah Fawcett because of her hair. Damn, she has good hair. 

Her Connections

Max — Her person. Farrah did not choose this. 

Jane — The one who suggested her. Farrah respects this. She has never met Jane.
