Crazy Cat People Only!

Left kitty is Willow, right kitty is Marbles! Willow is about a year old now and Marbles is a four-five month old surprise rescue

Yay for cat lovers!

I have 3 - all of which I rescued as feral kittens.
- Reagan, female calico, 14 years old, scaredy cat
- Oscar, male tabby, 4 years old, lover boy
- Allie (aka Princess Allison), female tabby and Oscar's 1/2 sister, 3 years old (I found her all alone outside my house when she was 3 days old & momma never came back for her), trouble maker

I love cats!

You can see my first cat who is just over 2 years in my weight loss ticker below. She is called Cookie!

I cannot wait until i have my first home to have a lot more

Love all the stories. I have two cats (rescue) whose names are Baby Girl and Cinder, Baby is a calico and Cinder is all black. They were rescued from a trailer park along with 11 others. They are the best. I also have another approx 70, give or take that I help take care of each week at Feline Rescue, Inc in St Paul MN. This is the best volunteer job that I have ever had. I have been doing this each week now for approx 3 years. It is hard but I have managed to not bring home more than the two I have. I also have a dog, who is 9 and her name is Maddie.

This is Georgina. I named her Georgina so I could hug her and love her and call her George.

I heard her howling one night outside. I went to find her, give her a bit of food and some love and then she spent the next hour or more climbing our screens in our windows, yelling at me and telling me I needed her in my life. I believed her.

Surprisingly, my dog-loving SO suggested we bring her inside. I used the weekend to try to get our dog used to her so she wouldn't hurt the kitteh...

...it took the kitteh less than two hours to let the dog know that kitteh was in charge.

They tolerate each other now, with small small doses of playful moments together and large doses of mutual distrust.

Meow Meow!!

I love my kittens (they are full grown, but I still call them kittens)

My husband and I have Mitzi and Rita. They are sisters, but look and act completely different. They are both extreemly talkative. Mitzi is all white with a black tail and a black hat on her head. She is very cat like, a hunter, and purrs like it was her job. You just have to get close and she starts purring. Then there's Rita. Rita is multicolored and CRAZY. She's like a dog, she loves to fetch. comes when we call her, and loves being held like a baby. Here are some photos:

Here are the sisters loving eachother:

This is me with our cat that we lost a few years ago (his name was Kitty- creative, I know)


When he passed we got this memorial tattoo. He was always fancy in his tux:

Thanks for sharing your cat stories everyone! :flowerforyou:

I have a female gray tabby short hair, so sweet! I got her from Rescue Village 1 year ago and her name is Sammy. My little grandaughter can't say her s's and calls her Hammy. She is friendly with everyone and never scracthes my 20 month old grandaughter, who antagonizes her constantly!
:laugh:

I love kitties too, I had to put mine down Wednesday, she was roughly fifteen years old, she adopted us when she was somewhere around 2years old (per vet), She was a Russian Blue. She started going down hill for a little while, then Tuesday she started acting funny and her back end kind of went out. She was starting to suffer so I took her to the vet.

I have had cats all my life, they are so cuddly and kind of self sufficient. I had a beautiful white kitty with black blotches and she looked like a cow. we called her heifer. She was hit in the road about a year ago. so sad. my next kitties will be indoor kitties only.

So of course I am thinking of adopting two more soon.

I have a new kitten, sweet little thing. Sleeping in my lap right now.

my baby's name is Dustball. She is a moody bish, but I love her more than anything. She is a chunky fluffy little thing who has a weird tendency to gnaw on my when I pet her a night. No idea why... she has been doing it since she was a tiny tiny kitten.

Then I am babysitting my old roommates kitty for this semester while she is in the dorms. Her name is Kitsune. She is freaking beautiful but creepy. Creepy creepy cat. She will stand in the corner staring at the wall. She does this thing that I call "platypussing" because it reminds me of Peryy the Platypus from Phineas and Ferb. Kitsune also like to stand in dark hallways and just watch you. I am telling you... creepy cat.

Both of the kitties were craigslist kitties and I am pretty sure they were mistreated. We were told that they were 8 weeks when we got them but I doubt it. They looked more like 3 or 4 weeks tops. Since I am insane and worry about them at every moment they don't go outside. The few times I let them into the back yard they do a funny little army crawl and run back inside and just watch.

I'm a cat lady. I have 2 fur babies. One is a 16 year old, 6 pound, black short hair female with huge gold eyes who is absolutely beautiful, but *****y as hell. LOL I love her with all my heart, though. She's got health issues (irritable bowel disease, hyperthyroidism, kidney disease, cataracts, etc) and costs me a sh!tload in vet bills ands meds, but she's my baby, and she's worth it!!!

Then there's my 7 year old, 22 pound orange and white male Maine coon. He is the sweetest cat in the world, and I swear he thinks he's a dog! He has the cutest little trill meow and snuggles under the covers with us at night. This cat does not have a mean bone in his body and is always so offended when the other one is so mean to him. Watching the 2 of them together is hours of entertainment for us!

Right now I have an even dozen. The most I ever had was 18 and the least was two. All my cats are rescues- either from the shelter or from my vet. They stay inside because they are healthier and safer inside. They are all fixed, get annual vaccinations, and all medical care they need so you can't call me a hoarder. I have a dozen litter boxes and I clean them every day. People don't realize I have so many cats when they visit, since about half of them are very timid around other people. I cannot imagine life with out cats in it. My oldest right now is twelve, and the youngest is almost a year. The last two, actually now that I think about it, aren't from the shelter or vet. They adopted me. Romeo sat on my porch all winter two winters ago and cried at the window to be let in. I thought it was my new neighbor's cat, since they are identical. But one day I looked out and realized I was seeing double. So he came in. He is a big dark brown tabby. The baby of the family crawled under my porch, part of which is under my bedroom, and cried and cried. So I let him come in. His name is Swoosh, since he is yellow tabby with white including a white Nike swoosh on his back. Then I have Willy, Jay, Cobweb, Isabella, Insta-purr, Geronimo, Brave Heart, Little Girl, Bridgette (found on a bridge) and Spirit. Four of them were babies that were brought to my vet, and she wasn't set up to bottle feed overnight, so she asked me to "foster" them. After bottle feeding these tiny babies, there is no way I could give them up. Bridgette is still pretty feral- once a day she wants pet for about a minute, but the rest of the day she sits just out of reach and watches what everyone is doing. She is now four, so I don't think she will outgrow it. But whatever room I am in, she is in. I love my cats.

I also have three rescue dogs.

Many more cats and dogs have come to my house through various means and now have permanent homes elsewhere. I try to find homes for as many as I can. Some have stolen my heart and I won't ever part with. Right now I am still looking for a home for one dog. Her owner had health problems and was homeless so she needed a new place to live. She is a chocolate lab mix, and really sweet. My old dog just cannot deal with a new dog in the house, so that is why I am looking for another home for her.

Last April we had to put our beloved Simba down due to a huge feline sarcoma. It was a very sad day and I miss him very much. To this day I still see and hear him around the house. Seeing all of your precious kitties makes me want to get another. Thanks for sharing.

Katy, always a lady crosses her paw all the time

I have three! a 5yr old black and white american short hair named Ebby, a 3 yr old grey tabby named Bella (Isabella.. and NO not because of twilight lol) and a 1 yr old orange tabby named Charlie.
