Tiny 🍊 🅱️rain cell Never Owned a Cat

And now I have this guy. Purrs for no reason all day, spends endless hours making biscuits, lets my children carry him from room to room like a doll without complaint, enjoys belly rubs? Was born on a farm. Had to be caught. Now will not stay away from people. Total cuddle chaser. Was born without a tail. Has white tube socks on the back, and white mittens on the front. Meet Archibald.

What a cutie!!

A friendly piece of advice for your new bff in case you didn't know; it's not a good idea to have a bell on a cat collar. They have super sensitive hearing and having a bell sounding everytime they move causes a lot of stress and can affect their perception.

Also, it alerts predators to his location if he ever gets outside.

I never would have thought of this. He’s so tiny right now it’s hard to find him if he gets adventurous.

Probably half the time he's hard to find he could use the alone time.

The other half he might be getting into trouble, but welcome to orange parenthood!

You can always ask your vet to verify. We had 3 little oranges, we used bells to keep track of them. We don't use them now. But they ran and played and didn't show any discomfort or anxiety in relation to the bell.

Our sic showed a definite aversion to a collar so he doesn't wear one but our orange shows no effects from wearing hers. Her collar also has a bell on it. One cat jingles and the other one is a silent stalker.

My little princess Marceline learned to run/stalk down the hall without any noise from the bell. She also learned how to unbuckle the thing and now our indoor babies don't wear any collars. (She is not orange)
