” I have felt a void in my life since my cat died last year, so I went to adopt the cat with the saddest eyes at the shelter. I hope he likes Bailey and astronomy and I can give him happy eyes. », he explained further X/Twitter under the picture of her new cat.
He also wanted to clarify later: ” By the way, my dog’s name is Bailey and I have no plans to give Bailey’s alcohol to the cat “.

” Chat update. Gregory is well and has a lot to say. I haven’t seen his sad eyes since the shelter. He and Bailey have conflicts from time to time, but otherwise seem to be fine, sleeping next to each other without any problems. Okay, now that I’ve paid the cat tax, I’m going back to the room. », he recently signed X with humor.
