get a cat

i have always had at least one cat. and recently i have gone for about a year without one. my last cat was boots, she had white paws, and she ran away with another cat (male), she came back once and looked sick i tried to keep her in the house but she just ran away. this is a very weird story actually. and i truly miss having a furry companion. i usually pick up cats from the street, or they just follow me, i like feeding stray cats and i consider them my own. but lately i haven’t seen any around. i want to adopt one from an animal shelter but my mom is allergic to cats now. so i can’t have one. i feel so bad. cats are the best.
