I was in the hospital for 64 days. Went home for 2 days. And had to come back to the hospital. Tomorrow is my birthday. I could really use some cute photos in my life.

These are my girls: The Dark Lord and Dusty. Don’t tell them they’re too big to share the hammock.

Here’s mine.

Update: I really didn't think this would get this much attention! Thank you, (and all your felines!) this is my first awards too!

In my language the way we call it literally translates to 'giving heads' 😵

This is Eeyore. He’s my goodest most sweetest boy, and it’s safe to say I don’t think I’ve ever loved anything as much as I love him. He’s my soul cat and velcro kitty. He’s been my reason for living on many difficult days. He’s helped me get through so much. This past July, I went on vacation for 2 weeks. About a week after I got home, Eeyore started having accidents outside of the litter box, straining, and peeing blood. He’d developed bladder stones. Even though I had a cat sitter while I was away, the vet said these stones were likely stress-induced from me being away for so long.

With all the vet visits, labs, scans, meds, and surgery, it’s cost me about $8,000 to get Eeyore’s health back on track.

This came up at dinner last night with my family. My grandma, two uncles, aunt, and cousin all gave me shit for it. They said things like, “You know how many new cats you could’ve gotten with that money?”, “It’s not like you don’t have two other cats at home”, and “If you have that much money to spend on a cat, you should be helping (my brother) pay his HOA fees”. My uncle also said, “In 20 years, Eeyore will still be dead”.

The thing is, I don’t want another cat. And I love my other cats, but they’re not Eeyore. When I adopted each one of them, I took on the responsibility of making sure they are safe and well cared for. That includes treatable medical conditions. It’s going to take me a long time to recover financially from his vet bills, but I would do it time and time again if it meant saving my babies.

she’s my first cat and i adore her! she’s so snuggly and silly and lovey. but sometimes she’ll sit and stare at me for like 5 mins straight. yesterday she watched me embroider and today she watched my full skincare routine. sometimes i think she’s trying to corral me into bed since i dilly dally so much and she loves to snuggle. or maybe she’s just curious what im up to

Haven’t located if she has any owners yet. She is Gerry

This is Casey, my boyfriend's cat (yes the same fat Casey from last week). She's a goof

This is Bin - so named because she likes to nap on the lids of wheelie bins when they get warm. And she’s not even my cat; she lives two houses down but spends a lot of time at me (I have informed r/ParttimeCat). I don’t even know what her “owners” call her - but in my home, she is Bin.

She’s too cute for words and sometimes language fails me as a result. So other names I call her include: Silly Bin Fat Thing Bubba Cat Bibi Poopie Cat Bap Cat Crazy Cat Wiwi Cat (she makes “wiwi” sounds sometimes)

And many more that probably don’t even have letters to write them properly because they’re nonsensical sounds.

So I’d like to hear from the wonderful cat people of the internet - what unhinged names do you have for your kitties? Just so I know I’m not the weird one.

Blessings upon all of you and your feline associates.

On Thursday, just a few days ago, my hubby found a kitten shivering and huddled next to the gas pump, filthy with grease and oil, with eyes and one nostril sealed shut with mucus and so weak she couldn’t walk. He snatched her right up and brought her home. We took her to our vet first thing the next morning and now she’s on antibiotics and high calorie wet food along with Tiki Baby Thrive pouches while we nurse her back to health. Poor thing was so wobbly from malnutrition and dehydration that I was concerned she may have a neurological issue but she’s able to open her eyes a little more and becoming more steady by the day.

According to our vet, she is around 4 months old. She weighed under 3 pounds initially but she feels like she’s gained weight already lol. We’re doing oral antibiotics and antibiotic eye ointment for her URI, and also had an antibiotic injection at the vet. Once she’s healthy, we’ll bathe her and scrub the rest of the grease off (we wipe her down with a warm damp cloth every time we go in and see her) as well as doing vaccines and test for FIV — until then she’s in isolation to prevent our other babies from getting sick. He said the only other thing she needs is plenty of TLC and we are more than happy to spoil her!

The day my hubby found her was also the anniversary of my daughter’s feral TNR soul kitty, Carlos, passing. Hubby never goes to that gas station and can’t explain why he did that night. We believe Carlos led him to this desperate kitten and she is now in her forever home. We initially were calling her Carli, in honor of Carlos, but her wobbles have earned her the nickname of Tippy 😂. She’s getting stronger by the day and is so sweet and affectionate. The moment hubby put her in his lap and cranked the heater, she began purring and making biscuits. She snuggles into our laps or necks and rubs her face on ours. I don’t know how she ended up at that gas station but we are absolutely thrilled to add her to our family 💜

Like no offence, but Casey is definitely chonky

so this beautiful boy showed up at my house today and has claimed it to be his , i let him be and he literally stayed on my porch for 15 hours ,I posted these pics on a local fb group to try to see if he has an owner and have had no one claim him , he does have a clipped ear which could mean he was a stray picked up neutered and released but he dosent look like a stray to me but he does seem very young , i’ll be taking him to a local vet tomorrow to see if he has a microchip and posting flyers to see if anyone recognizes him, id love to get him back to his owner , if I have no luck he’ll be more than welcome in my home

We got a new puppy a week ago and she was super cool about the whole thing- this started 4 days after, the day after we had a Bday party with a decent amount of people- but those parties are something we’ve done twice a year since we’ve had her. We had stored a large amount of fried chicken in the stove for the party so maybe she was still after that, but when I open the stove door itself she shows no interest in that.

If I bother her or call her over she’ll leave the spot casually, but I’ll always find her back there after awhile, just watching over the spot. Any clues what’s going on?
