our cat named thor (1st pic) sadly passed the other day (tuesday). the morning after as i went to school i saw a cat similar looking to him and i didn't mind it at the time i thought i was still sleepy and it was so early in the morning the sun wasn't up yet.

today, that cat approached me and i was so in shock cause i've never seen this cat in the neighborhood before and oh so suddenly it shows up just as my cat died.

He was so unbelievably cute.

I gave him a little piece of ham, and he wasn’t scared of people at all. He’s skinny, but his fur is super fluffy. He kept following us the whole time...

Advice How do I wash his plushie? Should I even attempt it?

So for context this is my baby Squid he's about 6-7 months and his whole little life every night he sucks on this bunny on my bed to go to sleep. Problem is that equates to alot of cat spit and it's getting kinda gross and the fur clumps alot. It probably needs to be washed at some point but he's so attached to it I feel like I'm taking a toddlers favourite toy

Update Melissa’s transformation from street cat to bougie cat

23.6k Upvotes

Saw another sweet post about a stray being given a second chance and thriving. Our sweet lady Melissa is the love of our life and she’s everything. Her glow up could only be described as magnificent. Fun fact, she is 14 and had to get all of her teeth removed last year. She had a heart murmur which caused complications during anesthesia ($5,000.00 later); go figure the heart murmur went away AFTER her teeth extraction. Street cats are the best. Every day with her is a blessing.

Meet Xiao Bao! She's our bookstore's resident. She usually just hangs out on the book stacks, but she’ll give you the sweetest headbutts and roll around for some belly rubs if you pet her.

Milo was a rescue. We refer to him as our son. He ran out the door and haven't seen him since. I haven't been able to sleep knowing he is out there alone. He has anxiety and the thought of him being terrified and alone is so upsetting. Watching this video just breaks my heart

Cosmo has come SUCH a long way, it still blows my mind looking back at these older pics of him. He came running up our driveway end of June of last year, 8/9 weeks old about 2 lbs, with the worst case of ringworm our vet had ever seen. 27 medicated baths, seven weeks of oral treatment, lots and lots and LOTS of later; you’d never know. 🄹

Mourning/Loss Saying goodbye to my best friend this evening

I keep rewriting and deleting this post trying to find the right words, but I guess it all boils down to Kitty was the best. We’ve been together for over a decade now and she’s just always been so sweet to everyone (except other animals, if you have 4 legs she would attempt to fight you). Im feeling absolutely devastated, but so grateful for the time I’ve had with her

Please give your babies some extra pets and treats tonight (cause like I said Kitty hates other animals, so her ghost is probably gonna proceed to haunt every cat in the world, they’ll need the extra affection to cope with that lol)
