A rescue cat, a pandemic, and the bond that carried me through grief and back to love.

🎭 🩷 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! 🩷 🎭 🧋 BUY ME A COFFEE 🧋→ https://buymeacoffee.com/jilldaltonnyc During the height of COVID-19 in New York City, isolation, fear, and loss became part of daily life. In this video, I share how my rescue cat, Magpie, became my constant companion, creative partner, and emotional lifeline during one of the most difficult periods in modern history. From surviving lockdown together, to her surprising instinct as a “queen mouser,” to the profound bond we built over twelve years—this is a story about resilience, unconditional love, and healing after heartbreak. If you’ve ever loved and lost a pet—or found unexpected strength in difficult times—this story is for you. —CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro The Cat Who Saved Me 00:32 Lockdown in New York 00:55 Alone, But Not Alone 01:34 Trader Joe’s 01:56 The Cat Who Played 02:12 The Living Room Rug 02:59 A Step Into the Unknown 03:30 The Night of the Mouse 04:44 Magical Good Luck Kitty 04:47 Queen Mouser 05:08 Hunting Together 05:32 A Closed Heart 05:56 Learning to Love Again 06:12 The Impossible Decision 06:28 Caring for Her 06:58 Knowing It Was Time 07:11 The Hardest Goodbye 08:09 After She Was Gone 08:41 She Rescued Me 09:41 Thanks for Watching 10:14 Questions for you 11:08 Your questions and comments 13:39 Men Adopting Cats 15:57 Matt Damon Rescued and Adopted a cat in Costa Rica 21:56 3-3-3 Rule of Cats 24:10 Millionaire Kitty 25:48 Magpie in my Will 26:40 Thank You! 28:10 Outro I drop a new video every Sunday.
