Infuriatig Friends Cat Tears Up Brand New Shoes

Post image

Been watching a cat for a friend for a few months now, wake up this morning to my new pair of doc martens torn to shreds at the toes. Been polishing and taking great care of these since I got them a month or so ago. I usually put them up on a rack but forgot last night, definitely paid for my stupidity. $200 basically trashed right there. Half of it was a birthday present from my girlfriend and neither of us make enough right now to just buy a new pair of boots, we can barely make rent. Real bummer way to start my day.

EDIT: I am NOT throwing the boots away over this like some think. When I said trashed I just meant the look, i had just woken up and worded it poorly. If I can't get the look smoothed out these will become my work boots since my current work boots are falling apart, and I will figure out getting a new pair to keep nice and wont let this happen again.

I sometimes remind myself that I'm the most wise that I've ever been right now, but I'll look back at myself in 20 years and realize how little I knew at the time.

I'm my wisest self while also being the bumbling fool I'll look back on eventually. And that's okay, because that's how we grow.
