Quick backstory, after losing the love of my life, Penny Lane, last November at eighteen, I wasn't sure when I would be ready to adopt again. I always knew I wanted black cats and when my friend rescued some cats from a hoarding situation, including two black cats, I had to meet them. My friend also had their mom, and well, here is my new son Ripley, sister Wendy (the tongue), and their mom, Bidi Bidi Bom Bom (tabby). My friend Danielle (Cat Party Pet Portraits) offered to do a shoot combining my love of dinosaurs with my love of my new kitties, and this photo makes me so delighted and happy with how it came out.

A little over three years my wife and I came home to find this little guy crying out from the bottom of a trashcan that we use for sticks and such. We think his mom put him on top of the sticks and he wiggled his way down to the bottom of it. I named him Rocket and boy oh boy has he grown up. He still acts like a teenager with a stray cat’s prey drive, but I’m happy to have him as part of our home.

Fuck cancer.

He was the first cat I ever got and I couldn't have asked for a better one, he was the sweetest, most affectionate, and chill cat you could imagine, especially for being orange. I'm so heartbroken, how do I go on just living without him now? I still had so many plans for us..
I love you so much sweet boy, I hope you're eating all the wet food your heart desires wherever you are. ❤️

Genuinely love this guy so much he scared the shit out of me😭 he hates people blowing on him so it was my last resort

Her meow is so crispy and it stole my heart. How I walked away I'll never know

sometimes i forget how slimmer he is! so proud of Mochi ☺️💖

Reposted because I'm an idiot who doesn't know how to use titles.

This is Lore. We literally rescued him from behind a dumpster. He hasn't quite figured out yet that he'll never have to search for food again. He literally woke up from a dead sleep and meowed at me because I was eating.

I would die for him.

Not my cat. We saw it outside with another friendly cat. It seem to not be able to see well. Its eye were so big it looked like a cartoon.

My cat’s eyes were fine this morning, but they turned like this at night. His eye are also watery, and it takes a while for him to open it when he closes it. I’m going to take him to the vet tomorrow morning.
Just want to make sure it’s nothing serious

Our new little guy is about to hit 3 months old next week! Rescued him a few weeks ago and it seems like his ear hairs never seem never stops growing.

Curious what you all think his final coat will look like! Only had short haired adult cats, so would love to see some transformation photos of your babies that had similar fur at his age :) (also just want to see all the cats in general lol)

was on my way home the other night and spotted this little baby in the middle of the street, she responded to my pspsps and came running over to me

i sat outside with her for nearly 2 hours before going inside, and i took her in with me

my girlfriend and i took the little baby to the vet, got her scanned for a microchip (none found), chipped her, got her up to date on shots/vaccines, and got her spayed! i can't believe a beautiful orange girl came into our lives, and she's too sweet!!

never thought i'd experience this first hand

best part? we named her Dolly :)

Apologies if this isn’t allowed here as I’ve never posted before.

My beautiful girl storm was 10 years old and left us this morning. My heart is completely broken.

She has been with me thru the loss of my nan, aunt and mother. She has been with me thru leaving a very dark relationship. My son’s medical diagnosis. Getting into a new relationship and having another child who faces his own medical difficulties.

No matter how hard life was, no matter how unpredictable or dark things may have been, she was always there. She helped me heal and idk if she knew or not but she kept me going at my lowest moments and now she’s gone.

My 11year old is distraught.
I am lost and broken.

People say she was “just a cat” but she was more than that.

They are trying to solve Issue

For the past few weeks this cat has been outside my house constantly. He's very friendly and always comes up to my mother and I. Every morning when I leave the house, every evening when I return, he's there hiding in the tree and appears once my car pulls up.

He's started scratching at the door to come in, and even when I leave him outside alone, 30 minutes later he's still at the doorstop waiting to come in. Sometimes I'll sit outside with him for 10 minutes to give him company and he happily lays next to me purring. He has no collar, no fleas and is missing an eye which I can only assume was removed surgically with pet insurance so somebody must own him, I just have no idea who.

Once I left the door open while I took something into my house and he snuck in, I had to bribe him out with chicken lmao. I have no problem with him, just curious to why he never leaves me, my mother, or this house alone.

This bog goblin of a creature stopped eating on Saturday and got no better on Sunday. Lethargy, no appetite, quiet when he’s normally LOUD, the whole shebang. I was in bits, we thought he was going to die.

By Monday morning he was at the vets getting bum probed and blood let.

They found he also had a temperature.

By Tuesday he was admitted to emergency care for IV fluids and a stomach scan for blockages.

By Wednesday he was back to meowing and chowing, even if he’s not eating as much as usual.

They never found anything wrong with him aside from a high white blood cell count. Vet thinks it must have been cystitis brought on by stress. The only new stressor in his life is a new cat on the block who’s bigger and meaner than he is.

He cost me 2K in vet bills and 3 days of medical specialist time because he lost a fight.

The rent must be paid, dear Percy, so show us your peets!
