I had a cat that literally broke into my family's house, he was our neighbor's cat, so we put him back out and thought he went home. This repeated several times.
We eventually found out our neighbors threw him out in favor of keeping a pitbull. The cat then moved in permanently.
You should have drafted a newsletter about it and given it to all of your neighbors.
I opened the door one day and there he was. He looked up at me, meowed hungrily and put a paw up the doorway.
How I got my last one. One-eyed, starved, raggedy assed cat just sitting there, asking for help.
Mine was tailless, filthy, with a large hairless scar across his back and blue bow tie.
and blue bow tie.
How cute!
The cat distribution system is broken in my area. There are almost no strays, we were "hunting" for one for a couple of months until we decided to go to a petsmart to adopt our boy
The prevalence of coyotes and other predators in my rural mountain town means that there are effectively zero strays around me. We had to drive an hour plus from our house to a shelter at the closest "big" city to adopt our latest.
Probably best for the environment.
I just got one that way, sweet little thing. Already had one cat, that my daughter begged and pleaded for, said "no" because we have 2 dogs already, finally relented on the condition that, "if the dogs kill the cat, you can't hold it against them because dogs are gonna dog, and they were here first."
One dog absolutely fell in love with the cat and they're inseparable now, and the other dog didn't give a fuck either way. Then suddenly door cat shows up and adorabled its way into our lives...
That is the cutest use of language I have ever seen: adorabled
Incredibly apt too lmao. I was not a cat person whatsoever, treacherous self-centered critters. I had no use for them. But I'll be damned if they ain't fucking cute and lovable once you let your guard down lol.
Found my little gremlin in a bush outside a store when she was a kitten. Poor thing had part of her ear missing. From a recent attack/fight of some kind. She's been with me for 5 years now.
You sure that's not a sterilisation marker? Cats get an ear clipped after being sterilised during a catch and release program.
My cat has it, that's how I know.
No, the ear was not clipped cleanly, and she still had her lady parts. I got her spayed later.
Yep that’s a TNR clipping on the ear, I bet.
Trap, neuter, release. Very common.
No it wasn't at all. The cat was attacked, was very obvious bcz it was like part of her ear was ripped off, and it was a female cat that still had her lady parts, which we later spayed.
All 5 of my cats were strays/born from strays. Plus there's another 10 strays outside near my place that I've been taking care of, and sheltering from the cold.
And I'm not even a cat person. I've been pussy whipped by their cuteness.
Edit: Seriously, it's impossible to say no to something like this.
Okay, okay! They can have my wallet and social security number! Sheesh...
They're already going a pretty good job of clearing out my bank account. God forbid they figure out how to use my I.D. or online shopping.
Kitty looks so soft. I want to touch
my little orange boy was found eating sausage patties under the dumpster at work and now he is eating salmon pate on my kitchen table 🤷♂️
Probably the luckiest cat to ever live. Not even I let my cats on the table much less the kitchen table.
I've never let my cat on the table but that never seemed to stop her
The right hand is in a weird spot
Privacy grip
Kids do not know how to hold animals
It's a safety grip so you don't drop them. "7 on the kitty, one in the shitty."
Trash cat is best cat.
Also, can we take a moment to appreciate how cats domesticated us, not the other way round? A cat is basically the only animal that can barge into your home and say ‘I live here now’ and instead of freaking out and shooing it out the door, many of us will say ‘welp, I guess we have a cat now’ and go out to buy food and toys.
They’re pretty exceptional when it comes to taking full advantage of our parenting instincts.
Let me take a moment, just sit right there. I'll tell ya how I became the prince of a town called This Lair.
Found ours in a parking lot, with her neck torn up to shreds, one of her toes broken, and a gash on one of her back legs. We also thought that she was well fed... she wasn't. She was very skinny and pregnant.
Took thousands of dollars in vet bills, and about 11 months to heal her back up to full + 5 years to figure out that she has an autoimmune disease that causes her skin to flare up and become very itchy and uncomfortable. She will be on meds for the rest of her life + always wear a neck protection band and a shirt to keep her from tearing herself up again. It is all worth it though, because she is the sweetest little fur ball in existence. Worth every penny, all effort.
Mine had a similar situation with itchy skin with neck protections and everything, turns out it was flea allergy and just using revolution regularly fixed the problem altogether, I can't recommend it enough. Revolution not only kill flea but it also combat the flea allergy.
I've had several cats just "appear" in my life and I consider myself blessed for having known each and every one.
My aunt and unkle had kittens around one Thanksgiving and placed one in my arms...
How could you say no to that cute little face? You couldn't.
I could not, now Neth'sin the Ethernal Tormenter bothers me for food all day.
Me and my grandpa have gotten nearly all our cats from the fact that people just abandon their cats at his old barn. His farm has effectively turned into a cat sanctuary.
Found my cat when she jumped on the hood of my car after I parked! Saw this friendly thing several times, and neighbors said she was just a stray. When the nights got colder, I would let her come inside when I came home, but let her out again the next morning, when it was warmer. Eventually, I got a litter box and stopped letting her outside... She knew what she was doing!
In my case walked right into my bosses house.
What am I doing wrong? I never find any strays in my area! 😭
Put out some catfood
A baby Yoda meme, really?
In this economy?
At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?
We have had four dogs. Still currently have two. Three of those times, we said, "we should get [another] dog!" and then went to the pet store and got the stuff we needed and to the animal shelter and got a dog. We did look at rescuer websites one of those four times before we got a dog. So it wasn't exactly finding one in the trash, but we didn't prepare for months either.
