The adoption has already occurred

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 55 points 2 months ago (4 children)

My wife and I were adopted last month (I'm pretty sure). We tried finding her home on the social media sites as well as put up picture-flyers around town, still nobody claiming her. So now we have an appointment for vaccinations and a spay, and we'll go from there

Cat tax

GORGEOUS coat. We scooped up a stray tortico recently as well. We found her a home but it turned out she was pregnant so we did not escape without an additional cat.

That kitty is a real beauty

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

What a lovely fine cat! Tell her she's very smart finding some good humans!

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

The human is the one being adopted, of course.

This man is legally obliged to keep the kitty now.

[–] CouncilOfFriends@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He's still trapped in that chair to this day

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm guessing by the belly on that lad, that he doesn't get out of that chair much anyway.

[–] tiny_hedgehog@piefed.social 3 points 2 months ago

It gives the kitty a more comfortable place to sleep.

The terrified little cat who showed up starving at my back door a bit over a year ago

Mizu fairly recently

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Mizu was just method acting. It worked great, didn't it?

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Either that or she's actually 3 squirrels in a cat suit. At least one of whom is completely whacked out on meth.

I'm fairly certain it's the latter.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can’t prove nothin’!

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe?

I've never seen a cat with a twitchier tail... it seems to move along multiple, almost contradictory points of articulation and appears agitated when she's clearly quite happy.

She seems completely hammered on catnip multiple times during the day... but quite literally only had access to a scratching box with it for the first time yesterday.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Well, it’s a compelling case . . .

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

I’m not the OOP, but I also hope he keeps the kitten.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Its a good spot for a cat! Once it gets bigger you can recline and take a big comfy nap

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My saddest day was when my little girl outgrew her sleeping spot on my chest. Now I just lie on my side and she is the little spoon in my arms.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 months ago

It can also migrate to the shoulder, draped across the chest.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

He's going to keep it 100%.

The cat distribution system at work

[–] miked@piefed.social 8 points 2 months ago

The Cat Distribution System (CDS) is all knowing.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I befriended a little barn kitten where I keep my horse and he is my helper. I haven't seen him in a while and I'm worried.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Reason #6 to have the tummy.

[–] segabased@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

All "I don't like cats" people become cat people the moment they get a cat

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Whilst that's cool, maybe someone is missing their very young kitten.

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 6 points 2 months ago

Clearly the best way to advertise the missing kitten was to make this meme.
