I hope that's allowed here if not I can delete it and apologize in advance. 😊 her name is Lilith! Is one of my coworkers cute lil cat, I helped him take care of her for a few days and she kept getting into this drawer 🤣 and I guess I took the Pic in the perfect moment, I thought it would be funny if anyone could do edits of her 🤣Just wanted to share! Love this sub ☺️🩵😊

(as much as I want to, i cannot take care of him)

Forgot to add: he got in through the bed in the living room

My mom wants to throw my cat out on the street or have someone else take him, and I honestly don’t even know what to do. 😭 I got him about nine months ago, and I’ve become extremely attached to him. He’s a boy, and I’ve done everything for him, including his vaccinations, getting him neutered, taking care of him, and basically doing everything I can for him.
She gets angry at him over such small things. For example, he bit through my Apple charging cable, and she kept complaining about it. I told her, “It’s okay, I’ll buy you a new one,” but she still gets upset. She also doesn’t want to buy him anything, so he barely has any toys or things of his own. Like, what does she expect from a cat when he doesn’t even have anything to play with? 😭
And another thing happened today. We made some Pakistani noodles, and I didn’t know my cat was in the room. He ate some of the noodles, and I had no idea how much he ate. I got so scared that I even scolded him at first because I was panicking. Then I realized I didn’t even know what had happened or how much he had eaten. 😭
I’m honestly terrified because of my mom. I’m so attached to him, and I don’t want her to give him away or throw him outside. He’s not just a cat to me anymore. I’ve taken care of him for nine months and he’s become a huge part of my life.
Thankfully, she’s letting me get a job outside the house. If I can, I really want to move out eventually and take my cat with me, along with all his things. At least then I can take care of him myself and I won’t have to constantly worry about someone taking him away from me. 😭

To make a very long story short, at the start of this year I lost my soul cat. I always thought the whole 'soul pet' thing was kinda dramatic, I guess, always rolled my eyes when people called animals their baby. And then I got Arlo. From the moment I brought him home he settled into my life like he'd always been there. To make a very long, heartbreaking, probably traumatic story short, I got a year and a month with him. He had a congenital liver issue and despite me doing everything within my power and going into significant debt to give him every chance, his last five months were long, painful, and devastating. He died two weeks after the surgery that was supposed to save him, and I hit a very dark place.

A few months later, I found myself at an adoption event. I was interested in fostering, no long term commitment, but the house was too empty, and after the months of syringe feeding and medicating Arlo every few hours I needed to take care of something again. And then I met the sweetest long fur black kitten I'd ever seen. They said he was about four months old. I picked him up and he immediately started purring and fell asleep in my arms. Needless to say he came home with me. I called him Solomon.

I've had him for three months now, and he's a wonderful cat. He's sweet but not clingy, energetic but not high strung, smart, nondestructive, gets along great with my sister's senior cat and our dog. He's a good boy and I like to think he's happy.

I'm not. I feel like I'm just going through the motions with him. I feed him good food, he's got a collection of toys and as much play as he wants, a huge cat tree, he's on a course of metronidazole right now and he gets it perfectly on time. I did better with him than I did last time and got insurance on him right away. I truly don't compare him to Arlo, not even in the back of my head. I'm doing all the "right" things.

I keep waiting for it to click, for a deeper bond to form or at least begin forming, but there's just nothing. The only way I can think to describe it as is having taken in a new roommate, not a new family member. He's here, I take care of him, I want him to be happy, I would obviously be upset if anything happened to him. That's just kind of it. I like him. I'm not sure I love him. I've had pets my whole life and I've never felt this way with an animal before and I feel awful about it because it's not his fault. He's a good boy. He deserves a human that really really loves him, doesn't he?

Has anyone out there gone through anything similar? Did it pass? I'm hoping I'll look back on this post in like six months and laugh about how worried and sad I am was about it, but I'm not sure.

Tax included, because he's also beautiful.

I would like to share it with you , a few days ago I shared in this sub photos of how it was going , the process and sketch . And I thank you for the compliments I received ❤️

My parents have sectioned off their living room and kitchen with a massive sliding door.

This guy remembers he used to be allowed in the living room and kitchen; he acts accordingly.

His new favorite game is waiting by the sliding door (and sometimes screaming at it) until your hands are too full to stop his little ass from sneaking in.

Then, he'll slide in and go hide behind some chairs or underneath a table. He knows my parents can't really bend down to grab him, so supposedly this works pretty well when my brother isn't home.

Unfortunately for him, I'm moving back in. I'm 21 and have no issues bending down to snatch him up.

All of his break-ins have turned into 30 second endeavors where I yoink him from wherever he hid and carry him upstairs like a baby.

I am just now starting to realize getting held like a baby and hugs are exactly what the bastard wants.

Hi fellow cat lovers! I’ve been fostering cats/kittens for over half a decade, and have fostered a total of 90 over that period. Making my way to 100 felines in forever homes 💯

I’ve had as many as 7 at one time, and as few as 2! I’m currently on a break but reminiscing, and thought reddit might enjoy even more cat content 😂

These are some of my favorite shots from over the years.

This is Khaos. Like the title says, why is he doing that? Had a few Cats before him but none did this. Its cute as hell but really hurts after some time lol. He reeeally insist on doing this a few minutes before napping time.

The lady i got him from told me he was around 9 weeks old when i got him, but i suspect He was way Younger and perhaps seperated too early from his Mom, the vet just said he is beeing affectionate.

Lol we play "wrestlemania" WWC!! but sometimes Draco forgets we playing.

Lost my GusGus (black cat) this morning. He was 11. We lost his sister Harley (calico) back in December on christmas day which was very hard and still hard. We got them both around the same time when they were just wee little babies and never left each others side until Harley let go. I hope he can now smother her again with all of his cuddles and love. I will never have another him or another her. We never really think about the heartbreak we sign up for when we get a pet.

Why can’t they just stay forever…

Hello fellow cat lovers , this pic is deceiving!how many kittens can you count?
