cats

He cannot fit.
He cannot sit.
I can't believe it.
I saw him quit.

Finally a box to best a cat.
I bet tomorrow I’ll find it flat.

Topaz was a feral cat that we were going to Buddy up with another feral cat. But the other feral cat got fixed and got extremely friendly and chill and became adoptable. Topaz did not get adoptable. We ended up keeping her.

My wife fell in love with Topaz. And Topaz fell in love with my wife. I can't approach topaz at all. Topaz will disappear for a day or three on occasion. But then she comes inside the house through the cat door and they seek out my wife. If they see me because my wife is already gone to bed they will vanish. If they see my wife they will come up and become the stupidest one brain celled cuddle machine on Earth.

It's been like this for three years. I still can't approach her.

Usually she has rbf like this though.

My brother thinks he’s handsome and grand,
The finest White House Panther in the land.
But look at my eyes, my paws, and my stare,
I’ve got all that perfection with twice as much flair.

He thinks I’m copying, but here’s what I see,
He’s been practicing all along to look just like me.

I sit in my corner, so handsome and grand,
The finest White House Panther in the land.
But my brother keeps copying everything I do,
My pillow, my pose, and my serious stare too.

He wants to be perfect, and I understand,
Who wouldn’t want to be the #1 panther in the land?

Everyone is fine, except me. Pictured is my own cat who i am so grateful for right now.

I've been catsitting for my neighbours for years. One best girl in particular is the first cat who I truly fell in love with. She was skittish for a few years but in the space of a couple of sittings I guess she fell in love with me too. One day she just out of nowhere came and sat on my lap. Not long after she started curling up on my neck like she was my scarf.

I've spent more Christmases with her than my own father. I've loved my neighbours other cats too but she was special to me, and a big part of why I got my own. They knew how much I loved them.

I found out in the space of 5mins Patrick Stewart had died, and my neighbours had moved out yesterday. They said they would let me know beforehand so I could say goodbye. "Take care, thanks for everything". Just gone.

She is white and orange. Goodbye my beautiful little tofu pumpkin. I love you.

Edit: forgot the extra bit. On my way to work i saw a cat sitting right in front of a car wheel and heard the engine running. NOT TODAY MOTHERFUCKER'd that situation. Dude was startled and I apologised saying I just didn't want everyone having a very sad day.

We walk by daily. She stares, how about that? We've just been inspected by the neighborhood cat.

We tried to sneak by, that plan she saw through. Take a stroll on her path. She'll notice you too.

Then a few ps ps ps, and you may get to pet the majestic creature that is the neighborhood cat.

Then continue on your way, as she knows you will do, and she'll be eagerly awaiting the next time she sees you. ❤️

My girl is ~20. Or at the very least, 20. She's been doing well on her thyroid meds and solensia shot. So well in fact, she caught this toy mouse the other day and was screaming bloody murder to everyone. She wanted every one to know she's still got it.

Then she promptly went to the very top of the cat tree where she mocked the 18 year old cat for not being able to get up there. (He's next to get solensia shots). My little babies are getting old 😭😭 but they're still so sweet.

Edit to add, it's 6am. Just after I posted this she has found her mouse again and is carrying it around and screaming about it. 😂

She holds her fat weird and looks like she is pregnant or has worms. She's def got that pear body shape lmao. Gotta start with reducing food and using a slow feeding bowl and then if she still continues to gain weight, I'll have to put her on a diet.

Sadness alert: She passed in April. But she made it to 18 and had a happy life, I think. :) Enjoy the pic, no need to be sorry for the loss or anything.

You can't see her other paws well, but that visible paw with the little white tip was the only spot on her, so cute :)

She never liked being held, but she'd tolerate it for a couple of minutes. But for a while there, when she wanted pettins and I wasn't paying attention, she'd bat at my arm - "Hey, pet me!" lol. And she was very demanding about nap time (She yelled at me while I followed her to the bedroom to put her underneath the blankets) and bed time (She would yell at us that it was time to go to bed, thank you very much). :)
