Was nervous at first. Like the “don’t get in to a strangers car even if they have candy or puppies” situation, but it truly just turned out to be a man in need of help and he somehow stumbled into the perfect girl for the job. Third cat to find me in an odd, but beautiful way. Bathed, fed, snuggled, safe and headed to the vet tomorrow.

This is the feral/stray cat I've been feeding for the past 2 months. Keeps getting in the way and won't let me refill its food

Meet Seneca. He watched his siblings get adopted within days but was in the shelter for a month. He did not like to be held which was true when I tried to hold him in the shelter. He had been there the longest so I chose to bring him home. Within 3 hours of getting used to his new home, all he wants is to be held.

This is my Oriental Shorthair cat! His name is Lucifer.
He is my first and oldest cat. I was 4 cats in total.
He’s absolutely perfect. Do I wish all my cats became like him since I raised the all the same way? Yes. Do I still love them all? Yes.

Lucifer is so intelligent and cuddly.
He is trained to sit, shake and fetch.
Somehow, he figured out how to unlock doors on his own.

I still remember, I had a friend who is Christian. She absolutely crashed out when she found out I named my first cat Lucifer. She cussed me out, “Do you know who you’re summoning everytime you call over that cat? You have doomed this cat to a life of misery! Everyone knows samael lost the war against God and became fallen!” And blocked me.

So far Lucifer’s life have not been doomed.

99% of people who sees photos of my Lucifer instantly say “that’s the ugliest cat I’ve ever seen” “I’d never want a cat like that”.

I always just tell them “Do me a favor, stand in the middle of a busy freeway! ◡̈ “

I think he is absolutely perfect!
He has helped raise over 20+ foster kittens for the local shelter and they’ve all been adopted into loving homes.
The Young Master of my home.

Whenever he looks at me, it’s as if I’m all he sees.
Whenever he loafs on me and purrs (aka everyday), I feel like I have it all.

I haven't posted PJ here in a while, so here are some recent pictures of the birthday boy!

I post more frequently on his Instagram, pjsadcat

PJ has come so far in the year I've had him and I'm so lucky to have him in my life. Here's to many more birthdays with my buddy 🧡

My most beloved cat, the oldest I had, and the cat that loved me the most, was recently sent to the vet because she was losing weight, and now found out she had multiple problems, including a tumor in her legs, and several diseases, and just 2 days ago, went completely blind. Tomorrow, she will be put to sleep to stop the pain, and I can’t stop crying, even as I’m writing this.

Bonnie loved me the most. She hated her offspring for no particular reason, but loved me dearly. She loved playing peek-a-boo with me, loved getting hugs, tummy rubs and loved talking with me, always saying “Rau”. She had a lot of nicknames, all of which with a pronounced R.

She was named after Bonnie from Bonnie and Clyde. In fact, my first 2 cats had those names. Clyde was an orange cat who was deeply loved by my mom, and he sadly passed away in 2019 after an unexpected illness. And now, Bonnie has to go.

I’ve faced multiple issues about deaths these last 8 months. First, a legend I know (Greg Biffle) died in a plane crash in December. Then, the death of another legend in Kyle Busch, who died this May from pneumonia and sepsis. And now, Bonnie’s death beats Busch’s death by a lot, especially since she’s been with me for more than half of what I’ve lived as of now.

I’m just heartbroken by this. All that’s left is saying my goodbyes tomorrow and then her cremation. She will be the 3rd urn I have in my house. The first was of Merlin, her first offspring, who died in 2023 after choking on a piece of leftovers, one day before I entered middle school. Then, Bibi, who died earlier this year from illness.

First image is of her laying on my bed. She was a beautiful fatass. Second image was taken days ago when she was in the vet. That might be the last image of her before her death

We have a catio that our three cats like to hang out in. Garbage has been acting territorial and spraying, so we thought there must be strange cats around outside making him nervous.

Last night we noticed Garbage on the kitchen window sill (which looks out to the catio) twitching his tail furiously and getting upset. Turns out he's been seeing his siblings out there, not recognizing them at all, then becoming incensed with the evolutionary rage of his ancestors. He's been spraying our whole house top to bottom because he isn't smart enough to realize that the two cats he's known and loved his whole life, when viewed through a pane of glass, are in fact, not intruders.

The verdict: Guilty of being orange 🍊

Eta - he was fixed as a kitten as soon as it was appropriate, for all y'all who are worried. And his vet his involved.

This is an update on Elsa, the ice princess kitten that my family found back in the January 2026 ice storm all by herself and frozen to a scrap of metal that she was hiding under, at only four weeks old…

Elsa is now seven months old! She is healthy and happy and has recently recovered from her spay surgery. She is getting better about not biting when she gets excited or feisty, but was dubbed by my son, in her earlier kittenhood, “the snapping tortie.” Elsa is best friends with our previous rescue kitty, Link. They chase and wrestle and cuddle together most of the time. When we first brought Elsa home, she was small enough to sleep on my daughter’s shoulder, against her neck, hidden under her hair (see last pic). Elsa is bigger now but she still squeezes her little head into her old spot. Though Elsa is much bigger than the teeny fluff she had been, she is still pretty small, since she is a tortie. Elsa is super sweet and smart. She is an excellent fetcher. She also jumps and catches toys in her paws and also spikes them in the air as if she’s playing volleyball. She could not be more loved!

Every morning she is hand-given water to drink from her designated water bottle on her designated towel. If you try to stop giving her water, she becomes upset and grabs the water bottle. In order to combat this, my mom sets a 2 minute timer and when the alarm goes off, it means Dor is done getting water and she now accepts being done only when the alarm goes off (I didn't catch the alarm part on video)

She’s always been a pill ever since we adopted her (my mum thinks that is why the first owners sent her back to the pound). She picked me the first night she was here and hasn’t left my side, and sleeps beside me and sometimes wakes suddenly and looks for me with a tiny light chirp. She has old lady sassy meows when people try to pick her up. Shes gotten more vocal since we’ve had her (1+ year), but the following has got me worried:

For the last couple months she’s been sassy meowing even when we go near her when she’s chilling but it’s also equal amount that sometimes she just drops to the ground outside and rolls around in joy for scritches or lays near me on her little bed by my pillow. So people think I’m being worried for nothing but it’s just… odd.

Her eyes gloss and the inner eye lid is out for so long, she’s staring at me longer with slit eyes(yes we smile at each other a lot but sometimes she stares while not wanting to be touched), sometimes she’ll just lay on the table in front of people suddenly.. to me it seems like she’s asking for help?

Am I over thinking it ? I don’t even know what they would test for ??

Meet Bobby. My three year old named him. He was finally old enough to come home today!

Rescued from RSPCA

He just walked right in. God bless.

Little Ollie! He adopted me, I was innocently buying cat food at Petco. I had no idea they had kittens again 😭

He is drooling on my clothes.

Is he getting enough hydration?

8 months later

she was in my backyard beefing w my cat. beauitful pattern tho and took a while before trusting me. kinda just walked away past a corner after eating even tho she wasnt shy

So I noticed today that my kitten chipped his tooth and you can see the pink nerves in the tooth. I'm not sure when he did this because he has been eating and acting fine and hasn't shown signs of pain. I'm wondering if this is still a baby tooth and if so then I'll just monitor and make sure he doesn't get any sort of infection and wait for it to fall out soon. He is 3 months old almost 4 months. If this is an adult tooth then I am going to make a vet appointment right away but I'm hoping it's a baby tooth so that he's not permanently missing a tooth.

He was the prettiest, sadly he mysteriously disappeared, probably died since his mews were pretty sickly
