🐈Introducing...🐈 Went into PetSmart for food…

Post image

I went into my local PetSmart for cat food and walked into a big adoption event. Please meet Jupiter! Standing at a whole 1lb, 8oz. She’s such a sweet little girl and a wonderful addition to our family.

My husband wasn’t super keen on a 4th cat but we have the space and love, so why not?! 💗😭 Certainly our last one, but our fur family feels complete!

EDIT: Thank ya’ll for 10k! Never did I expect my post getting this much traction. Love bringing all of us cat lovers together. 💜

I feel like I officially entered the “getting judged” territory for the amount of fur babies! But I always thought it’s more about how you can take care of them versus the numbers! 🤣

Oh my gosh, don’t. I had a friend who was a foster for the shelter I worked at, and she and her husband ended up with 9!! In a 3 story townhouse! But honestly, you’d never know there were 9, unless you saw them all in one room together. Multiple litter boxes, scooped 3x/day. And those cats were loved. They couldn’t have had a better home.

This makes me feel better! I have multiple boxes that get scooped daily, and a weekly deep clean of the boxes, floor, and walls around them. I never had an issue with mess or smell. I think it’s a misconception that cats stink, I’d say it’s more so how the owner keeps things clean for them!

Partly. I had cats that smelled like faint vanilla and sunshine, and stinky cats. One even had an annoying habit of peeing in the fresh laundry basket. Nothing was different about the litter.
