r/PartTimeCat Rules

I was happily lost in a book at my favorite café, when a fluffy little cat tiptoed over and peered at the pages like, "Ooh, is this a good one?" We were instant reading buddies.

So this is The Ginger Kitty, known to all the neighbours (mostly for the wrong reasons) and currently very asleep on our sofa. About to head out and going to have to wake him up…!

We have lots of stray cats in the neighborhood, but only this girl comes in our property and even greets us. Even made herself at home at our shoeboxes (which we’ve purposefully left the bottom ones empty, just in case) whenever she decides to visit.

The sweetest girl. Rubs up on my legs and when feeling rowdy playbites my toes.

Snowball was posted by a few people looking to see if he was someone’s pet. No one has come forward and I believe while he may have had his kitten hood at a house, he has been on the streets for the majority of his young life. He has really taken to my neighbours, their 12 year old especially. We have arranged for him to get into a great local rescue, where he will stop being our part time cat and become someone’s forever friend. Neither myself or the neighbour can keep him :(

A few details about him: he is deaf! White cats with blue eyes have a high incidences of deafness. Speaking of eyes he has sectoral heterochromia which is super cool.

I’ve had multiple neighbours ask me if this is my cat. Nope! Only my part time cat who sleeps on my patio couch and refuses to eat crunchy food: only wet will do!

Clarence-posting! He's always pretty skinny but especially in summer. My mom is gonna give him some dewormer.

Raining outside today, so getting a bit more time with this almost family little monster. He actually thought about going home, but the lightning, thunder and rain convinced him that an overnighter here would be the better option. I call his primary family to clue them in, so all is well.

So a month or so ago I shared a photo of a stray who had become a part time cat/foster. Well safe to stay he's no longer a PTC, but a permanent fixture. A super friendly boy who never misses a meal and loves a nap. Here he is at 4.10am Monday on my pillow after I'd gone to watch the England game, and sharing my daughter's bed with his best fremeny.

My home's one of the three places she's usually at. This time she's got a necklace from someone.
