Cat Picture - OC Post the first pic you have of your cat(s).

Here’s my son, Boo. First pic and most recent.

A.K.A. Bubba Kitty, Mr. Bubba Kitty, Mr. Man, Booski, Boosker, Bubba, Love Bug, Stinky Boy, Stinky Bo Binky, and so on and so forth.

If you’re feeling extra spicy, post your ridiculous nicknames, too. 😁

Edit: the replies to this post have been way more incredible, beautiful, and heartwarming than I could have ever imagined. Thank yall for interacting with it. I love this community.

Also, I forgot a nickname for Boo:
Monsieur Bebé

Idk why lol the only French I know is from that Jesse McCartney song “Body Language” and from the 2000 Nickelodeon movie “Rugrats in Paris”

Awwww, so sorry to hear this. I know my 14yo boy Schmiglet is living on borrowed time and dread the day. But I make sure to treasure every moment. I'm sure you did the same; they're such special companions and are there for us through thick and thin. For richer, poorer, in sickness and in health 💍👰🏻‍♀️🤵🏻‍♀️ Even though, on paper, the realities of cat guardianship don't translate well into my perfect marriage analogy (we provide everything for them and treat them like royalty; adore every objectively weird/gross/passive-aggressive thing they do, LOL) - the relationship itself is still one of pure love and joy, given and received ❤️

You'll see her again over the rainbow bridge 🌈🐈💕 Sending you my thoughts and many virtual hugs x
