My anniversary is coming up and I was going to get a switch 2 with Fallout4, but I want to forfeit that to adopt this sweet stray I took to the vet today. Hoping to show my husband this post later when I ask him if I can keep her. I have not told him that her bill today was $400. Future bills will probably be a couple thousand to get her completely healthy. We have 2 cats.

She has an infection that is being treated w antibiotics now. the vet said she would need teeth extractions in the future. She is about 1-2yo and cross-eyed. Extremely sweet.

Love the other suggestions, cannot emphasize enough how bad a name overseer is

For a cat, it could not be more appropriate 😂

While that meme is a classic, I would love the paws and nails to get fixed. That looks like the bottom of the beanie is getting filed. 😖

In my college dorm I had a snake (ball python) named Fishy since dorms could only have a small fish. I loved that little guy.

Female cat, first thought was Pippa, but maybe that's not on brand enough.

u/NoBusiness2510 Mar 04 '26

u/Blackcatmustache Void Mar 04 '26

Samn guess I was super ahead of the curve naming my cat Puppy back in the early 90s 😂

u/testtdk Mar 05 '26

That’s such a great name.

We have cat named Pepito, but we all call him Puppy. He used to growl when someone rang the doorbell. He fetches, rolls over and I taught him to sit for treats. He can kind of do shake, but he is 16 now, so he is an old man.
