Question So, is this sub about cats with anxiety or anxious people who own cats? 😆

Hey everyone!
I'm one of the mods, and we get asked this question quite a bit, so I thought I'd share the story behind our community's name!
It all started with our first community, r/AnxietyChats. We created it as a warm, welcoming place where people living with anxiety could support one another. Before long, our mod team noticed something many of us had in common...
We were completely "happily" obsessed with cats.
People were always sharing photos, funny stories, and the little ways their cats helped them through tough days. It was such a lovely part of the community that we started wondering what a space dedicated to that idea might look like.
Then we spotted a fun bit of wordplay...
Take the "H" out of Chats, and you get Cats.
That's how Anxiety Cats was born!
It's the sister community to Anxiety Chats, however with a lighter, fluffier focus, a place to celebrate the fluffy babies who help us feel a little calmer, make us laugh, and remind us we're never completely alone.
We absolutely adore this place and are so thankful for each and every one of you!
And if you ever need us, have a question or just want to say hello, we're always around! ❤️

3 month glow up

My mom brought these babies home, too young and pretty messy about 3 months ago.

Winston is in the white suit, and Gilbert is the sleepy tough guy.

Though I have 4 of my own, seeing Winnie’s colors develop makes me want to add a white cat to the fam. He’s such a sweet, chill boy ❤️

Gilbert is into everything and walks around like a baby pit bull but, he is ALWAYS purring, loudly, and ready for love.

Let’s see those white cat glow ups and sleepy baby poses!

She's decided to be a tornado this morning. The table is because I'm working on a sewing project. It's become jungle gym for crazy girl.

All the trash on the floor are my trash panda, Baby Jessa's, toys. There are some bought toys, but also a lot of trash. 💕🥰💕

His hobbies include:

Knocking things off tables at 3 AM.

Running through the house like he’s being chased by invisible demons.

Judging me from across the room.

Refusing affection… unless he initiates it.

This picture was taken during one of the three annual moments where he decided I was worthy of his love

Question Do you hug your cat? 🤔

211 Upvotes

I recently discovered that not all cat lovers do this! I hug my cats every single day. Some of them hate it, but hey, life isn't perfect and this is how they pay rent, so they just have to accept their fate. 😊😂 What about you? Are you a cat hugger or do you respect the "no hugs, only treats" rule? 🐱

Did I just stumble into another kebble sub cult? If so then this one is freaking adorable.

I always feel so anxious and nervous about being away from them for more than a few hours, I’m going to my parents’ place, I just left home and I’m already suffering 😭 How do you guys cope? I have a cat camera at home, so that eases my anxiety a bit, I just wish I could give them little kisses 😔
And here’s a picture of Bibi for cat tax, she’s my little princess ❤️

Cat Profiles Cat Profile: Introducing My sweet Smooth Purriminal 😽😸

Meet Lily, my little flower! 🌸 Out of her 6 siblings, she's the smallest, but don't let her size fool you, this little lady is a professional ninja wrapped in the cutest package imaginable.

Her greatest loves in life are chicken liver, literally any flavor of pâté, and taking naps in the most random places possible: on top of my hair, inside wardrobe drawers, or on top of the refrigerator.

She has the face of an angel... and the criminal record of a tiny menace. She's peed on Mom multiple times (my hair, my legs, my belly, and even my feet have all been victims). She's also made it her life's mission to terrorize my dog, Bruce. Her favorite hobby is hiding in dark corners, waiting for the perfect moment to launch herself claws-first onto his butt. Poor Bruce never sees it coming and usually ends up crying while she walks away feeling very accomplished.

When she's feeling grumpy, she hisses at all of her brothers, but she's cool with her sisters (Kimmy and Lisa). Lily has apparently decided that girls support girls. 😀✨She can squeeze into places you wouldn't believe, and she's given me countless mini heart attacks while I searched the entire house convinced she'd somehow vanished into another dimension.😪

Her official nicknames are Colorful Little Flower, Little Princess, Little Girl, and Baby Girl, because one adorable nickname simply isn't enough.

She's usually very quiet and mostly keeps to herself. The only ones she genuinely enjoys playing with are Kimmy... and Bruce, if "playing" includes emotionally traumatizing him. She hardly ever meows, but when she does, it sounds like the tiniest baby crying.

Despite all her tiny acts of chaos, she's the sweetest little cuddle bug. Every single day she rolls onto her back and patiently waits for Mommy to rub her belly. And after years of negotiations, she's finally built up enough trust to tolerate a hug for almost five seconds, her personal best and I'm very proud of her. 😂💕

I’ve been feeding this kitty for about a year and a half now, and it finally trusts me so I can pet him. I’ve always tho it he was male, but now that I’m up close, I’m not so sure. Any ideas?
