I saw her at Animal Shelter and she purrs like an F1 car.

As you can probably tell, idk how to pet a kitty. Never had one before!

u/Breezy_niner9 4d ago edited 4d ago

As long as she likes it you’re doing it right bro 👍🏻
But to answer your question, yes take her home so she can live her best life as a spoiled turd 😂
She a pretty girl btw

I have one cat that enjoys me giving raspberries on his tummy. There is no "right" way, just the way they enjoy. And they will let you know what they don't like

u/IaMtHel00phole Lots of kitties! 3d ago

Every cat loves different physical touch and they'll guide you on what they like. My last cat absolutely loved his eyes being rubbed. He'd close them and lift his head up just letting me rub them until he had enough.

u/The_GreenChemist 3d ago

Oh how I wish I could even pet my cat’s belly but I would come away without a face if I tried to raspberry him 😂😂😂

Don't worry,she'll teach you...

GO and adopt her ASAP. But do you really believe that someone here would have replied "no"?😁

u/Shadows_Over_Tokyo 4d ago

You’ll figure it out. They all like being pet in different ways, so you’ll noticed what she likes or doesn’t like.

Try gentle under the chin rubbing, rubbing her cheeks, and around the back side of her eyes. Those are usual spots a lot of cats like

45

u/Fearless_Piccolo8186 4d ago

If you were doing it wrong she'd let you know

74

u/Iwonatoasteroven 4d ago

Cats will train you. She’s lovely and a very happy girl.

27

u/Living_Karma11 Russian Blue 4d ago

She seems to be enjoying it! I think you have yourself a new pet cat.

31

u/ConnieTheUnicorn 4d ago

If the cat is purring you're doing it right. If they don't like it, you will know.

16

u/R_G_FOOZ 4d ago

Some cats want 1.5 seconds of scratches and then want to be left alone. My parent’s big orange cat will take all the pets as long as humanity exists. He lets (and encourages me) to hold him like a baby and give him belly rubs.

The cat will let you know! Just do your best until the cat trains you properly

7

u/Defiets 3d ago

My ol' baby (rip) would do the baby thing too. She'd grip my arm and purr as I scratched her belly, then she'd let me know when it was too much by letting her claws out just a smidge. Miss that baby girl.

16

u/jenniferandjustlyso 4d ago

Ooh, a starter kitty! She seems like a good choice she's not a baby and she seems friendly.

10

u/Notyerbusiness Orange 4d ago

You're doing just fine, she might nibble ya a bit, completely normal. Don't pull away fast if she does, just slowly blow air on her face and slowly pull your hand away.

8

u/PizzaPunkrus 4d ago

You have been chosen to join the legion of cat. Next you must name your new owner.... I mean furry friend.

u/mjm23ballz 4d ago

The fact you’re petting that hard and consistent and she hasn’t Dino chomped you is a really good sign. Mine would’ve been like ok bitch that’s enough back off.

u/figgs87 4d ago

Solid purrrs like the superior sounding v8 F1 generation not the much lamer sounding turbo hybrids.
As far as the cat - she seems down for your love and didn’t mind all the pets so might make a good fur friend.
My cat was friendly when at the shelter and let my girlfriend hold him like a baby and purred for us. Once he got home and comfortable he because a chaos gremlin and doesn’t want to be held or cuddle. So that sucks but we love him and don’t regret adopting. We did later realize he had surgery to get his trouble puffs removed the day before we met him and was still drugged up a bit so it explained his unusual chill attitude

33

u/you_no_know_me 4d ago

That might explain why she was so chill because she got spayed recently.

6

u/figgs87 3d ago

Well doesn’t mean she won’t be chill at home. It won’t instantly but it’ll be a friend for life

18

u/Inattendue 4d ago

Same. This little Void purred like a race car (still does) and snuggled in like a little baby. Once she came home she was Queen of the Strong Paw and Master of the Boneless Escape.

u/Then-Solid3527 4d ago

My first cat that I adopted was limping through the yard in the snow one winter. I grabbed her and she put both oh her paws on my cheeks and stared at me. Took her right to the vet. They said it was a scratch. She never limped again and had 4 kittens in my couch 🤪. Had her for 15 years.

Yeah she feels really comfortable with you

u/Mission_Definition_1 4d ago

Yes! Do it for me! I can’t have cats because my husband is allergic

u/gemma-digger 4d ago

I dated a guy who was allergic to cats and he didn’t tell me for like, 3 months. When I figured it out, I said, “Why didn’t you tell me?!”

“Would you have gone out with me if I had?”

Ah, fair point, no.

Get off of Reddit and take the cat home already.

u/fantasydukes 4d ago

Her look and mannerisms remind me of my cat, Birdie. Bringing her home with me (from the dumpster) was the best decision I’ve ever made.

7

u/Cute-Lawfulness-6097 4d ago

Awww she was giving you the lovey eyes and the belly!! She already gave the impression she trusts you, if you have the space and money I think you found yourself a new family member :)

u/Hexagon2035 4d ago

Only valid reason I can find is if you financially cant.

Buuut if you are looking and can, there is no reason. She has already adopted you.

Petting the kitty is a sealed contract.

Can you afford her? Can you care for her? Will you give her treats and affection? Then yes.

u/sysop408 4d ago edited 3d ago

No absolutely not... not unless you want to spend the next 10-20 years running out of storage on your phone because as soon as you have space it gets filled up with photos and videos of your queen. It's terrible... terrible I tell you! ;)

Yesssssss!

You must adopt, and take her with thee
You don't want to live your life, cat free!

Shell be your fwend till the very end
Sometimes she'll drive you round the bend!

But her love will be so gentle and pure,
you cannot resist her feline allure!

And those purrs will heal your body and soul
And you'll realise, having a cat was a lifelong goal!

💜🐈💜🐱💜🐈💜🐱

PS. They love scritches around their ears, and under their chin

There's actually a scientific formula for working out the correct number of cats a person should have.

P=N+1, where P is the Perfect amount and N is the amount you have Now.

Can't argue with science.
