Our vet couldn't find a microchip and no one replied to our many online found pet posts and posters. She's ridiculously sweet and has a lot to say. On Wednesday we get her chipped and vaccinated. A very welcome addition to our home ❤️

Felt I owed folks an update and a cat tax- Trouble successfully conned us into a permanent residency. I blame my housemates.

Her hobbies include licking people's faces, playing 'I'm not TOUCHING you' with her older sister, and being a general hooligan.

This tiny kitten showed up outside my house a few days ago. I kept an eye on him for about 2 days hoping his mom would come back, but she never did. He was just hanging around alone looking hungry and a bit lost.

Couldn’t leave him out there any longer so I brought him in. He’s already making himself at home. Meet my new little roommate.

Been a month inside my apartment.

First indoor cat feels like shes not happy there/ afraid of me

I’ve posted here before about the deep pain and grief I’ve been going through since losing my precious kitty, Bebe. ❤️‍🩹
A few nights ago, I got a call from a rescue I donate to. They asked if I could foster a 3-month-old little black kitten.
I had MANY reservations. My heart still hurts terribly for Bebe, and I wasn’t looking for another cat. But I finally said okay — just for a few days.
When he arrived, I picked him up in my arms, and he immediately started kissing me and purring. I actually told him, “Don’t get too attached to me because I’m not your mom.” 😂
Well… apparently he didn’t listen.
This little guy is absolutely adorable. He’s loving, sweet, doesn’t bother my plants or get into anything he shouldn’t. All he really wants is to be near me. He follows me around and just wants love.
After only 24 hours, I asked my husband if we should keep him. I told him it had to be a mutual decision, and we both agreed that this little boy had found his home.
Then came the name.
My husband’s last name is Burr, so I told him he could name the kitten. Without missing a beat, he announced that his legal name would be Raymond Burr. 😂😂😂
I laughed so hard.
So here I am — the mother of a kitten I absolutely did NOT want and was only going to foster for a few days.
And now?
Nobody is taking Raymond Burr away from me. ❤️🐈‍⬛
He will never replace Bebe. No kitty ever could. But somehow, when my heart was hurting so badly, this tiny black kitten showed up asking me to love him.
Life works in so many unexpected ways. 🙏❤️

I never in a million years could have imagined how sweet Lucifer is!! He seems so relieved to be reunited with his brother! I'm so grateful for King Charles and for Donald. They are sooo sweet to the babies! It's so damn cool being able to give these incredible animals a safe space to just be.

The Pharos were on to something..

Oh yeah, his official name is now King Louis II of Bavaria 😜

The neighborhood huss keeps having babies and I saved one, but his brother is spicy as all get out so he took a bit more time. He was getting attacked by other cats so I wanted to give him a proper, safe home - alongside his brother.

So Alfie and Lucifer are officially mine 😸

First time posting *ever* so please bear with me! Usually the one reading or listening to reddit stories 😂

We (I 32F & 33M husband) have lived in our 1 bedroom "house" for almost 3 years and have had multiple cats show up over the time we've been here just to visit amd get some pats (NZ based) which is nice cos I lost my soul cat not long after my husband and I met and I have missed her terribly ever since.

We've had a young ginger male cat show up and we tried everything to see if he had a home, I posted everywhere, asked neighbors and our rental agent - we even dubbed him Butterscotch and his full govt name is now Sir Butterscotch of House Diet Ginger, yes he's registered at the vet like that 🤣 thanks Materman!

Turns out he doesn't have a home so we adopted him officially about a month ago cos he kept coming and wouldn't go anywhere else, he would even sleep on a mink blanket outside the sliding door all hours and days of the week.

We were hesitant to take him in before because of how reactive he was (think hissing and biting randomly and we'd kept him in one night and got very little sleep with his antics) and the fact we're in such a small space BUT, he got the whole deal, neutered, microchipped, claws trimmed, flea & worm & vaccines. Didn't start off with the cone of shame but he gave himself an infection so that was fun, I ended up taking it off after a recheck visit cos he was faceplanting the water bowl and couldn't drink, ohhhh the flop this boy did when he snuggled afterwards was *precious*!!

We've since discovered he's FIV positive and have kept him strictly indoors - 1 for his safety & 2 for the other cats in the neighborhood and don't want to share the virus.

He's very protective over "his house" and despite being fixed we know he will probably try and fight the other males. He's on special food and the litterbox is a chore cos boy he pees a lot! but we love him to bits, especially come zoomies time.

I may have inadvertently created a monster, when I go to bed he LOVES to play with me, pounces on my hands, feet & to use me as a springboard and goes hell for leather round the house.. he's really settled in and will come snuggle and sleep with us at night which is bliss and has steadily been putting on weight, is almost 5 kg now.

**Questions being please:**

\*We have lots of toys for indoors and he has a huge cat tree right next to a window that he beats the crap out of relentlessly and lays on to bird watch which is why we put it where we did.. plus we have very little space but what else can we do? We both work full time, myself as a truckie so I'm up at 4 ish am and hubby is truckie/yardsman who's up about 6 ish and we can do upto 14 hour shifts but it's *usually* 10 to 12. Hubby sorts him in the mornings and I do it in the afternoons

\*he HATES the cat carrier and refuses to willingly get in so he gets burritod with a blanket and dunked in all while hissing and growling at us - can't slip him gaba, we tried that, can't even pick him up and I'd love to be able to do that and snuggle him.

\*Does anyone have experience with trying to get a cat described above into an easy vest or harness so we could take him out for walks and could recommend one?

*Very food motivated boy* but we have to watch it doesn't upset his stomach and go backwards - he has B12 shots with the vet to help the FIV symptoms.

If you've read this far, thank you so much. Happy for any advice to help enrich our boy until we buy a home - we're gonna build him a catio!

My neighbor’s cat has been coming over for a couple of years but now she has basically moved in. For the past 7 months, she’s spent every night at my house and most of her days either inside or on my porch. I even hired a cat sitter for her when I recently went out of town…

Since she’s almost always with me, I worry about things like vet visits, flea treatments and where she’ll stay when I’m away.

Her owners are my next-door neighbors but I don’t really know them. I know I need to ask whether they’d be open to letting me adopt her. It’s an awkward conversation and I’m afraid they’ll say no.

Has anyone here been in a similar situation and ended up adopting the cat? How did you bring it up? How did it go? Is there anything you’d do differently?

Update: I removed my request for photos of your NowMyCat since the sub currently doesn’t allow images in the comments.

I am grateful for this community. Thank you for your kind heart and good wishes. We are able to bring new kitty downstairs and our indoor cats are observing her from high above but are not hissing. Her eye infection is gone. She is still deaf, but very loving and very happy. Again thank you everybody for your good wishes. Many blessings.🙏🙏🥰🥰🤗🤗💐💐🐈🐈
