Archie

Meet Archie: 9 years old, zero teeth, and one big ol' heart wrapped in a grumpy grandpa face.

When Archie arrived on April 1st, it felt like the universe's idea of a twisted joke. No, not him-he's no prank-but the timing? Classic April Fools. Because the moment he shuffled in, toothless and opinionated, we figured we had a spicy senior on our hands.

And sure, he looks like he's about to yell at you for stepping on his lawn... but the truth? He's a total marshmallow. The kind that melts in your hands. We could barely snap a photo-Archie kept smushing into us, climbing into arms like he'd been waiting a lifetime to be held.

He spent his past mostly in solitude, so he's still catching up on how to "cat" around people. He doesn't do dogs. Probably wouldn't do brunch. But he's doing his best to trust again-and he's already halfway to lap cat status.
So don't judge this book by its cover. Archie may have Resting Cranky Face™, but open a chapter with him and you'll find nothing but soft, purring prose.

Come meet the cat who proves that even the prickliest pages can hold the sweetest stories.
