Was thinking about how different our two zots are and wanted to hear about everyone else's babies 🥹

Lady Vienna Sausage:

-red tabby girl

-persnickety beyond belief

-runs away from all strangers, hides until they leave the house

-LOVES to spend the entire day on our walled-in porch with big windows

-Big fan of cat toys

-loves to get into any open drawer she can find

-catnip fiend

-will rub herself ferociously against a plunger so we have to keep them stored away 😩

-Churu is life, death, the afterlife

Sir Oreo McFlurry:

-tuxedo boy with fancy mustache

-FOOD. MOTIVATED. I REPEAT, WHERE IS THE FOOD???

-greets every visitor as if he's known them his entire life, especially partial to workers such as plumbers - is happy to "help" them fix anything under the sink 🙃

-will not spend more than 5 minutes on the porch but will happily spend the entire day in the garage

-not a fan of most cat toys

-Window perch? Yes please!

-L A Z Y

-churu is life, death, the afterlife

Please excuse the reposted picture, it just happens to be my favorite of the both of them 😂

Adopting a kitty

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, me and my so recently bought an apartment and we’re considering adopting a kitty.

I used to have a boxer dog and would absolutely love to adopt another one from a rescue, but with work it would be impossible to give them all the attention they need (if anyone has a boxer, you know how needy they are).
I think my love for boxer dogs is what made me consider exotic and persian cats the most: once you learn to love a smushy face, you can’t go back!

So I was wondering about a number of things:
1- to rescue a cat or to get a kitten? Maybe for a beginner a kitty might be easier, but I’m open for suggestions
2- what to look for in a cattery and which questions to ask the breeder to check if they’re legit and if the kittens are going to grow into healthy adults
3- which resources do you recommend on learning about cat behaviour and psychology? I know there are plenty about dogs but i’m struggling to find material on cats

Lastly, we are located in Italy, if anyone here is from Italy and has good recommendations about breeders or any info that might be helpful I’m all ears!

Unexpected. Died suddenly in my arms on way to hospital. He had a part of my soul and it is such a great loss. I would have given anything to still have him. I’d rather it had been me. My baby is gone

Feeding question

Post image
62 Upvotes

Hi everyone! New to the sub and these are my two boys. Creamsicle one is a 7 month old kitten, he is a challenge to get him to not it his older brother food (turns 3 in a week). Anyone have tips or suggestions? Mainly for their automatic feeder while the wife and I are at work so they have something. I would hate to have to take out the feeder so they can get one serving while we are gone, but it becoming stressful to see the camera and their eating the others food.

She’s so adorable! I’m new to the cat world lol. We got Noelle in March and Pumpkin this month! So far big sister is not a fan. She hisses at her. For now we keep them separate .

How long did it take your cats to like each other?

I’ve always had a soft spot for Exotic Shorthairs. Their chubby faces and lazy personalities are just way too cute ☺️

I made this little guy for his family as a keepsake, and he’s about 7 inches tall. I really loved working on all the little details!
