My cat howling like he was hurt downstairs, he was just offended that he could see the bottom of his bowl. Fed him and sat next to him crying as he paid me no mind and chomped away.
Somehow thinking about my cat hits me harder than thinking about my parents. They're great people, I have no reason for this preference, but like, I couldn't make my cat understand what happened to me. Aw fuck I'm tearing up.
Up until 3 years ago, I had had dogs for most of my life until i had to have my last one put to sleep.
Then she showed up as a 6 month old skinny kitten in the garden - meowing outside at me when i came home. I fed her and that was it. Now I would live for her
Black and white cat in pictures is my housemates cat
I’m convinced nobody intends on getting a cat. the universe just decides you have one. I found my fur savior as a kitten chasing a rat twice his size behind a job I hated lol
no literally, i had something happen to me. when my grandma was dying in hospital around 2 years ago, there was this cat who we saw around quite a lot but only really noticed around that time. my family are cat people (nothing against dogs, we love them, just prefer cats) but have never owned one due to cost (no longer an issue, hoping on getting a cat soon). cats seem to get drawn to me in particular for whatever reason, so we tried to get this cat to trust us because he was so skinny you could see his ribs. so it ended up with us feeding him for the next two years and he basically adopted us. he never stayed, he was very content being outside but he did come and see my household for food and affection. he died (we think) the same week i got my final exam results back. he came and went in my biggest times of support
I believe this. My family used to proclaim ourselves as dog people until my mom’s friend needed to rehome her cat and that was it for us. Cat people ever since. I miss that old dude but the rescues since have him to thank for their spoiled lives.
So true. I somehow have 4 and I never intended on getting any lol they all were rescues and now they’re my little family. Plus my doggo and my boyfriend also has 2 cats that we saved and his dog. Together we have a veritable zoo
They choose us. I went to the Humane society specifically to adopt a cute grey kitty and a little slip of a black kitty pushed her right off my lap. That was it for me. I had my little panther for 14 years.
Katya ran up to me and my mom as we arrived home from my mom's birthday party. She was less than a year old and must have been a runaway, as she saw already spayed and trained to use the litterbox. Got her in 2015.
Scooter came to us in 2021. His previous owner, my neighbor's daughter, was unfortunately killed by her psycho BF (yes, big left turn). Scooter could not be found a home, since everyone was allergic. My mom found out, and said that she would take Scooter in.
