After over 15 years we said goodbye to this girl today. She fought hard and went out on her terms. I did my best to keep her comfortable and warm for as long as possible. She is a great friend and an even better family member. She will be missed.

Edit: Thank you everyone for the kind words and support. Almost a week ago we saw the doctor. That’s when we decided to keep her comfortable as long as possible. Today has been difficult everyone gave loves and said goodbyes. She is an amazing family member and will be missed so so much.

EXPERIMENT #1: IS IT THIRST?
Method: Exposing kittens to clean and slightly cooled water.
Results: Kittens still don’t understand it, and after several attempts of licking it lost any interest and waddled away.

They just start licking the lamp from time to time, all together at the same time, can anyone explain why? 😅

I recently adopted a 4-month-old kitten named Kiro, born on 6 June 2026, and I'm so happy to finally have my very first cat!

According to his previous owner, Kiro is a mixed-breed cat, and his mom is supposedly somewhat related to a Persian traits.

I understand that without a pedigree, he'd generally be considered a Domestic Shorthair or Domestic Longhair rather than a specific breed. But I'm curious about which traits he might have inherited from his parents side?

Some said British short hair? I'm not sure, any help is appreciated regarding this :)

I've ordered a water fountain for him to drink, which should be arriving soon! For food, I'm currently mixing Me-O Ocean Fish wet food with Kitchen Flavor kibble and Royal Canin for kitten. I'm still learning as a first-time cat parent, so I'd also appreciate any advice on his diet, hydration, or anything else I should prepare for a growing kitten.

Thanks, everyone! ❤️🐾

Tapeworm (white) and margaret (black and white.) They're turning a year old soon, and they've gotten so big, but they haven't changed much. I found them in my yard at eight weeks old. When I first took them in and they were still skittish, they would sprint and hide in corners whenever I entered the bathroom, where i'd set up a temporary living space. If they were in separate corners, margaret would scream, and tapeworm would immediately come running for her, even if he was scared of my presence. It's been nearly a year now, and they're still practically glued together.

Delivery driver here. Recently I came across a video of an Amazon delivery driver throwing a package at a house cat for no reason while on the job. The video disturbed me. It disturbed my wife, who was also a part time delivery driver at one point. It was disgusting and a disgrace of human etiquette. I deliver in a town south of Dallas, and this town is home to dozens possibly around 200 if I had to count of cats and kittens. Both domestic and strays. I never miss them. Some are shy, some I have to call, some run straight to me and roll over. Many customers even offer them to me for adoption, which I reluctantly refuse. Many of them I take pictures of and send them to my wife. I always pet them when I get the chance so much so my cats at home freak out over the unfamiliar scent. I used to bring cans of wet food and give some out at certain houses and the homeowners never breathed a single complaint. Earlier this year I rescued a kitten in a parking lot a day before the snow storm hit and we kept her at home until she passed away a week later from a respiratory infection. One of my current cats, Sal, is another orange stray that we have taken care of since February and he’s been a sweet boy joined by his adopted brother and sister, Teddy and Salem.
Cats are extraordinary creatures and I’ve seen nothing but pure love and joy from them. Some are born in survival and others are born in a home. We should never treat such majestic beings with cruelty. That goes not only for cats but for all animals.
The last picture is Sal, the stray we had given a home.

She’s been purring all day, rubbing against everything, licking herself and she’s been walking with her belly almost on the floor. Caught most of it in this clip. Found her outside, think she’s about 5mo.

I know it’s likely heat and this is probably a stupid question for you experienced cat servants but I’m just learning and want to be sure. Please let me know if I should be concerned!

Meet Charlie! He was dumped at the clinic that I work at. I was going to take him to my house until I found him a home. Anyways now he’s my son

I hope that's the right flair; sorry if not.

This is what my Lola looked like in June. It's October and now her right eye may have to be removed as it's bulging and leaking. [I don't need medical advice as we've been to the vet multiple times and are going to an ophthalmologist tomorrow afternoon. She's on meds and they seem to be helping.] Today, they confirmed she has hyperthyroidism, but that's "common" for older cats. So more meds.

I got her in 2013 when I loved in S.Korea and brought her back to the States because she's my lil heartbeat. I've tried to give her as comfortable and peaceful a life as I can. I'm also trying to find a silver lining in acknowledging that I got my sht together to where we can even actually go to the vet, see a specialist, and afford care so if there's pain, I can get her some relief.

But I feel like I've failed her. I think I'm looking for comfort from some other Cat People who could really understand the bond. 16 is about the average of my cats and she's not too far off (15 in December) but I dunno man... It never feels like enough time. To her credit, she's still demanding treats and acting normally. She's sleeping and purring next to me right now.

Hug your kitties for me. And share pics maybe.

I've had him for 16 years and I love him more every day.

So I made a post the other day when I saw him once in the morning but he has inserted himself into everything since then. This guy has been trying to find every way into my house possible. The guy is unentered I think I put a photo so you can check. I would let him in my house but my cat has been hissing at him and I don’t want her to get sick. My mom also doesn’t want him in since he’s unentered and might spray. It’s getting very cold and I’m a bit worried about his safety. He also keeps trying to get in my car when I go to school.

Just lost my five year old cat named Monster, he’d been with me through 3 car accidents and a few broken bones. He was a good boy, though he certainly had a cantankerous side. Rest in peace buddy, now you can rest with your brothers Goop and Xero now.

His name is cheddar bay biscuit aka Mr biscuit
