The Cat

Appears on your terms, leaves without explanation, still yours.

You don't organize, don't narrate your feelings, don't fight, and don't hover. You appear when you appear. The friends who last with you are the ones who stopped taking it personally — and they'll tell you the bond is real.

Why you got ESPR

Ease over Lead: Who picks the place, who keeps the plan alive, who just goes along with it.
Subtle over Open: Whether care comes out as words, or as lifts to the airport and relentless teasing.
Patch over Clear: What you do when something's wrong — say it this week, or smooth it over and wait.
Roomy over Tight: How much contact you need before it feels like drifting, and how much before it feels like too much.
