The adoption has already occurred

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 57 points 1 month 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.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

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

That kitty is a real beauty

[–] tiny_hedgehog@piefed.social 41 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This man is legally obliged to keep the kitty now.

He's still trapped in that chair to this day

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month 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.

You can’t prove nothin’!

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month 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 1 points 1 month ago

Well, it’s a compelling case . . .

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 1 month 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 14 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

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

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

He's going to keep it 100%.

Reason #6 to have the tummy.

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

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month 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.

[–] miked@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago

The Cat Distribution System (CDS) is all knowing.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 6 points 1 month ago

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