In times of great geopolitical upheaval, violence and tragedy, it is still important to post pictures of your cats and also look at pictures of my cats.
They are beautiful! Thank you & likewise!
These 2 adopted us. Showed up on our porch. Tuxedo male very sweet. Calico was feral, had litter of 4 under our porch (think she was about 6 weeks old). Not his, we got him neutered, but he loved them anyway. Look at size comparison of the two with her babies!
(Note: neighbor complained & called cat shelter - they came & took them - said they'd adopt out readily).
The upside of the shelter taking the 4 kittens for adoption was they have an arrangement with local vet to pay for check up and spaying of mama. It wasn't easy for me to catch her & get her into a carrier, but I did it! Now she doesn't have to be a breeder! My partner worked gently with her over the past 2 years and now she's even comfortable staying in the house overnight! And she still loves our Tuxedo - they have a kissy fest every time that get together.
@Gladari thank you for helping your local felines and being such a good cat parent. Srs you're doing the lord's work catching and spaying a feral calico. Respect.
I've got nothing against ppl who get their cats from breeders but there's so much need - so many strays. All my cats are rescues. The orange tabby actually jumped off the street and directly into my wife's arms.
@Expecting_Words
Wow - that orange tabby know who would love it!
I've had kitties since I was a baby on the farm. My dad taught me how, when milking the one cow we had, to squirt milk directly into the cat's mouth. I had a cat call that got our farm cats to come running - then they'd stand on their hind feet & he'd squirt each one directly into their mouths!
I've had kitties own me ever since! Oh, and my cat call still works - our 2 indoor/outdoor come running!
