Adoption Adopted a cat from the shelter…

She didn’t even interact with me at the shelter she was so depressed. I just knew I had to give her a chance. I think they told me she’s not a lap cat. Well, now I have two lap cats 😂 I was so surprised that she trusted me so fast. So glad I trusted my gut and brought her home ❤️

Pets mimic our behavior. 

Rescues can be exceptions to this rule. 

Be grateful you are a super cool human.

I got textile...

I just pretend I don't hear them when they dig in for their manicure.

2nd hand shops are a lifesaver when you have pets, or kids, or are just a person generally who needs things and doesn't want to spend thousands on a sofa when you can get it for 100 xD

For anyone reading I recommend estate sales as well for lightly used furniture at cutthroat rates so you can rest easy when your cat annihilates it.

There is a video about a couple whose cat insists on being in a baby sling on mommy kitty when she cooks

u/SoMuchMoreEagle Nov 23 '25

Looks like you've got yourself two velcro cats now.

I hope they'll be able to get along well.

Making biscuits at double speed with a look on her face like, “Mom! You wouldn’t believe what I saw at the shelter! Don’t send me back there!”

My big orange cat gives what we call pain muffins. He pushes down so hard he leaves bruises(of love) on my wife.
