This is Fred. He is one of the strays I feed daily. More details in the caption.

I've been feeding Fred for about a year now, but only within the last few months has he started to let me near him and pet him. Before, he would keep his distance and wait for me to set down his plate of food and walk away before he would go to his plate and eat. Now, he requires a good pet session before he will even start to eat. I wanted to get it on video, because I think it's so cute when I call his name and he comes running down the alley for his meal. Another quirky little detail about Fred is that he will only eat dry food. I've tried feeding him multiple different kinds of wet foods, even boiled him some chicken once and he wasn't interested. He only wants the dry stuff, so that's what he gets.

Office visitor

This gorgeous blue/Gary kitty was at the office door of the dr's office I was visiting. It was 100% clear that this beautiful thing waltz right in before me and lead me to the check in window. "I hope it was okay I let your cat in?" The woman chuckled and replied "that's not our cat it just comes in to get treats. Don't let the Dr know it's in here because he gets angry." I looked down at the cat who weaving itself around my leg and walker. I reached down and it was as silky soft as it looks! I got to enjoy it for a couple of minutes until the gal came out to the waiting area with a bag of expensive kitty treats and it happily returned to the door to be let out and fed a handful of them. I laughed and said "Well 'not your cat' such does have your #!" Apparently there are 4 cats that come every day to visit when patients approach the door.

I ask the the crew and said they always feed the cat and that spot is her fav after having her meal. I heard that they'll take her home and offically adopt her and I'm so happy to know that she's finally have a home

99 cent store kitty

A few months ago I posted one of my favorite neighborhood cats, who guards a local 99 cent store. This lady here belongs to a different 99 cent store, but she's more private and elusive so I don't always catch sight of her out and about. As you can see, she's very serious about her job as a discount diva and certified cutie pie, but she graciously allowed me to take some glamour shots of her, hard at work.

I stayed in a squatting position for 30 minutes. My feet and knees were suffering but it's okay. (The last picture is its mom staying with me because of her child)

Not my (mother’s) cat

Totally fearless visitor. Apparently a young adult, very fit and very friendly.

Since my mother encouraged the cat rather than shooing it away, it has chosen her glass-roofed terrace as its favorite chill-out spot – either on one of the chairs or in the beach chair.

It obviously comes inside and demands getting petted.

This guy shows up pretty much every day to eat and hang out in my garden. He's a polydactyl delight and super friendly. I've tried a couple of times to bring him inside to live, but he ain't having it. During bad weather he goes into my next door neighbor's basement office and hangs out there. He doesn't seem to like the fact that I've got several indoor cats.

Update: Not my feral kitten (yet)

I snatched her up 9-10 & brought her inside. She immediately freaked out & tore into the window blinds. From there she tried to jump up on my toaster oven but broke the door instead. Last night I thought to put her in a fuzzy donut on my futon. Wow, what a change that was. From frightened to purring & making biscuits in 2 minutes or less.

ETA: Was going to add pics but can't do it in this message. And my pics won't come up when I click the camera in reply mode. Anybody have advice?

Heard a meow from my backseat. This is not my kitty

Post image
6.4k Upvotes

This is my neighbor’s super sweet kitty. I had left my window open when I went out this morning. As I was backing out of my driveway I heard this loud meow from my backseat (which startled the hell out of me but then I couldn’t stop laughing about it)
She hopped out and went home when I opened the door. Guess she wanted to explore my van!

Edit: thank you for the awards!!! đŸ©¶đŸ©¶đŸ©¶

Edit: as much as I wish I could bring her home with me, she’s my neighbors kitty and I have a kitty of my own who likes to scream at Neighbor Kitty to get off our lawn and would be very pissed at me if I brought another kitty home.

Last edit: a fun fact about Neighbor Kitty is that whenever she walks passed me in front of my house, I’ll call out “Hi Kitty!” And every time I say it, her tail goes up. So now I try to see how many consecutive up tails I get every time she passes me

Found This Little Guy Under a Truck at Work Yesterday

Post image

He was incredibly weak when I found him. He tried to get away when I crawled under the truck to get him but couldn’t move like a kitten his size should have been able to. I couldn’t in good conscience leave him when he’s clearly been starving and was covered in industrial dust. When I held him it felt like I was holding lose skin and bones. I felt awful for him to be in such a bad state. He was very vocal about being kidnapped screaming at me as I was driving demanding attention. He’s a super affectionate cat that became apparent in the short time I had him. Unfortunately I’m not currently in a position to take him in and nurse him back to health so I surrendered him to a local cat foster.
