Oh where do I even begin? :O
Let me start by saying that I consider you to be my best friend, and I feel so lucky and so grateful for that. You're such an amazing person with a kind heart and you've always been here for me through thick and thin. Your compassion is one of the reasons I am even alive today. I am so happy for you that CS has helped you feel safe and feel a sense of belonging, just as it has for me. <3
Now onto the cat herself. What can I say? She's absolutely adorable! I knew the moment I saw the first stage that she was yours; the thing that clicked for me the most was the hind leg edit because I remember seeing you draw in a very similar style when we were working on a collaboration. I adore how soft and gentle the shading is, combined with the F L O O F of the final stage, not to mention the design itself being so bright and happy during the first and final stages, and so touchingly relatable during the second stage.
I think the story behind the design is what really makes me love this cat the most. The way I interpreted the design was similar to what you said, except in a more general manner; demons can drag you down, but it doesn't have to be that way forever: you can come springing back up eventually, and you may not be exactly the same after recovering from a really hard time (the change from smooth fur to fluffy). For me, that little change really resonated with my struggle with PTSD and the constant worry about "will I ever be the same" but it shows that not every change is negative. In the case of the fluffiness, it actually makes the kitty even more endearing to me!
I'm probably just rambling at this point but yeah. To sum it up, Burr, I love this kitty and I love you, my friend <3
I couldn't have said that better myself.
And I totally agree with Birb on this one, I definitely consider you a friend as well and im always up for anything whether it be joining one of your scenes (or you joining one of mine), or even if you just need someone to listen to whatever is on your mind. π
but the ones I do have im grateful for, even im just happy to chat with you people here tonight! 
That way you can keep looking at their kitten selves in the future.
