When Sage Horn and Jakob Mattern first met, he wasn’t really a cat person. Horn, on the other hand, has always been completely head over heels for her kitties, and pretty soon, Mattern was too.
“[He] knows that I LOVE my cats so dearly, they’ve been such a huge and special part of my life,” Horn told The Dodo. “We adopted [Piper] a little after one year of moving into our first and only home together.”
Recently, Horn arrived home and expected to find both of her cats greeting her at the door as they always do, but instead, only Phoneix was there. Concerned, she quickly went looking for Piper.
“I go upstairs (this was on Valentine’s Day), greeted my boyfriend with flowers and chocolates, and I said, ‘Where’s Piper?’” Horn said. “And my boyfriend, Jakob, said, ‘I must have accidentally shut her in our room. I’ll go get her.’”
