Any Crazy Cat Ladies ?

reformed cat lady here. although, i don't think you ever completely recover. At my peak i had 6, and a few that orbited around the house. I got every single one by accident really. I would take neighborhood cats to be neutered and since they need to stay indoors a few days while they recover from surgery. My plan was to always release them back to the neighborhood but they found sleeping on beds a much nicer place

now we have a dog who loves cats but doesn't quite understand that she can't communicate with them by barking at them.

I have 2 kitties.



They are rescues from a no-kill shelter. Their previous owner passed away due to cancer, and they were being sorely neglected by her surviving husband, because he wasn't "a cat person".... They are around 5 years old, I've had them for almost 3 years.

Ohhh they are so beautiful!!!

I absolutely adore cats! Right now we have two tonkinese 1 years olds (guess I have to stop saying kittens). We have always had siamese cats before and while I love siamese cats, these two are the absolute sweetest, affectionate, smartest cats we have ever had, they are simply a joy to have around.

Crazy cat lady here, married to another cat fanatic! We have three now, and though I love them all dearly, one is extra precious to me because we hand fed him and three of his siblings (we don't have them anymore) when mama cat rejected them. He is almost as attached to and in love with me as I am with him! I also have my old girl who is ten this year and a six month old terror who is going through his insane age! When we lived in the country, we had a total of nine! Though a couple were strays that wandered in one way or another.

Always love to make MFPals and meet other crazy cat people!

Crazy cat lady married to a crazy cat man! We love dogs though too. Our first 'baby' was a blue-tick German short-haired dog named Murdock. After he died we got an AKC registered Chocolate Lab named Roscoe. But before we got him as a puppy, we adopted two cats, brothers, from a co-worker. Tigger is a ginger striped tabby, now 18 years old and his brother, Meeko was a black and white tabby that someone later shot. We found him on a trail in our field. A few months later, Charlotte (or Kiki) showed up on our deck. She's black and white and SO sweet, SO friendly and soft. I know it sounds crazy, but we both thought she was sent to help us and our children to help deal with the loss of Meeko.

Fast forward a few years, Roscoe has since died and three more kitten strays show up on our deck. Pickles is a female all black cat, Tinsel (or TIny Tinsey), female, gray-striped tabby and Marmalade (or Marmy), male Ginger-striped tabby. Unfortunately, Marmy developed a blocked urinary track and had to be put down. Broke our hearts. We buried him in our field.

A few months later, Pickles somehow pushed a screen out of our front window and fell outside. She took off and wouldn't come back. We'd see her now and then around the neighborhood though for a few weeks, but then she just seemed to disappear. We feared the worst.

While she was gone, Hubby and I found a brother/sister gray-striped kitten duo while we were walking on the trails in our field. They followed us the entire time all the way back to the deck. They were sooo small, maybe 7-8 weeks, if that, old. We fed them and vowed to take them to the animal shelter. But, well, you guessed it, Hubby fell in love with them and we ended up keeping them. We named them Mickey & Minnie. They're our 'campfire' buddies since they love to hang out with us around the firepit. For awhile, they were indoor/outdoor cats, which, in hindsight ended up being a mistake as Mickey got Tinsie preggers before we could get him fixed. Tinsie had two kittens, Dusty, female Lynx-point tabby and Mindy, female, gray-striped tabby. But she looks Siamese, so we suspect Mickey must have some Siamese blood in him.

Eight months after Pickles disappeared, she showed up on our deck one day like she'd never been gone and we brought her back inside. What a happy day that was for us! Just blows my mind when I think about it. Well, we soon found out she was preggers. *sigh* She had a litter of seven kittens, all gray-striped. We have taken five of them to the shelter, but still have two left that will go too soon. We kept them back because, Squiffy, female had a bum eye and was smaller then her littermates and Specky, female is SO freaking tiny, no bigger than a 'speck' of dust as Hubby says. hehe Hence the reason for her 'name'.

SO, to summarize:

Outside cats:

Tigger, Mickey & Minnie

Inside cats:

Charlotte, Tinsie, Pickles and her two kittens we're not keepig, Dusty and Mindy

Yep, I'm a crazy cat lady to the max! hehe

I have 4 cats (all pre-shelter rescue) in a 2 bedroom apartment. One bedroom has litter boxes and nothing else.

FWIW, I have had a boyfriend longer than I've had the oldest cat. So that balances it out. Or something.:glasses:

YES!! We have one little kitten Coco (4 mo) who we *think* is part Siamese because of his personality. He likes to supervise lol. My profile pic is of him and I the day we brought him home. I want to get him a playmate, but we live in a one room apt and bf says we don't have room :sad:

He likes to say "my gf wanted a cat so we compromised and got a cat" HA! He loves our little fur baby

In

I have a 14 year old hairless cat, I adopted her last year after her owner unexpectedly passed away. She is so loving, energetic and people friendly. I grew up with cats as well. My dream is to raise a puppy and a kitten together so they can be friends and not know their own species.

Lynx-point Siamese, adopted shelter tabby calico, and this white monstrosity who was abandoned by his mother at birth and now thinks i am his mother because i bottle-fed him and raised him before his eyes were open.
