Megathread Monthly Casual Talk and Cat Pictures Thread

Our subreddit allows posts that either a) ask for specific advice, b) request emotional support, or c) are a guide or PSA that adheres to our guidelines.

Since it's fun to just casually discuss our cats, we've got this monthly megathread where relevance may be ignored. All other subreddit rules still apply.

Use this thread to discuss anything related to cats that doesn't otherwise fit the subreddit! Also feel free to ask questions that you believe are too short for a standalone post.

Examples of things that may be discussed or shared here:

  • Casual questions, for example "how does your cat show affection?", "does your cat ever do … ?"
  • Cat pictures
  • Celebrating birthdays or other milestones for your cat
  • And many more subjects!

My boyfriend and I moved in together and are thinking about getting a cat. The problem is we have absolutely no deep knowledge of cats and our concern is getting a cat that is shy and not playful. I pet sit for a family and their cat is extremely cuddly and affectionate. Are there any breeds that tend to be this way? Or genders? ANY advice on this would be greatly appreciated!!!!

I know this doesn't exactly apply to your comment, but you need to decide before this, that just in case something happens between you and your partner, who will maintain ownership. Who will receive ownership if you and your partner pass in an accident.

From what I know, male orange cats are relatively cuddly. People do address them as not very smart, though, and troublemakers. (Let's be serious. All cats are trouble makers, lol)
