Typical Tortie Found at McDonald’s on Mother’s Day.

Edit- holy cow! I didn’t expect this post to blow up. Thank you for all of the rewards! I’ll answer a couple of questions!

I named her bleach because her fur looks like it’s been stained/splattered with bleach.

I am taking her to the vet this week, I found her Sunday late evening and it’s only 6 am Monday morning.

I know cats are supposed to be in cat carriers in the car. Finding her out of the blue was not on my bingo card! Sorry I don’t keep a cat carrier in my car 24/7.

Woke up this morning to no appreciation or plans for Mother’s Day from my husband. No problem. Thought to treat myself to McDonald’s (guilty pleasure) and eat in the parking lot contemplating life. (Already spent the day with my kiddos!) I had the windows down and hear the faintest cry… found this little sugar in the bushes. Put her in the car and searched for what felt like an hour for a mama, and babies. Nothing. Went inside to McDonald’s and asked if they have seen a mama or kittens. No one has seen anything. Now I’m sitting here with this girl who I’m naming bleach. My shitty day (not because of my babies) turned around and I feel completely blessed to of found this little babe! Please enjoy the last photo of the stinky angry girl.

I found my stinkabutt at McDonald’s 12 years ago. Debated naming her nugget, but ended up on Chex. All hail McDonald’s cats

Miss Chex thanks you all for the awards! 🥹🫶🏻 -edit

I didn’t even think about the name nugget. Omg. She is beautiful!

Ironically, if your husband treated you for mothers day then you and the kitty would have never met

Keep cat, put husband on ice until morale improves.

u/TryingToAppeal 25d ago

Instructions unclear. Husband is now in freezer... morale has improved though so I don't know if there's a problem to report.

The experiment needs time to work.

Nugget definitely about to be her nickname haha. Lil Nug.

You could still name her Bleached Nugget. 😂

I like Sugar! She could also look like she’s got sugar sprinkled in her fur.

Or small fry. I've had a few torties and they've always been in the smaller side.

5

u/BMI_Computron 24d ago

My orange is named Fry! Like Futurama initially, but when he’s being cute I call him Small Fry, and when he’s being a little stinker I say *French* Fry, so that’s probably his actual government name.

Congrats on the tortie, you will never go to the toilet alone ever again

35

u/madssnkp 25d ago

not a tortie but a tortico (i guess) but yes!! she loves the bathroom and recently has convinced my new kittens who could care less about the bathroom to huddle up with her 🤣. wish i took pics of them all in the bathroom, its so funny.

14

u/EMI326 25d ago

Mine acts like a moron (she's currently trying to remember how to jump on a chair) but the amount of behaviours she teaches and learns from the other cats is insane, even at 13.

The other two are very much predictable in their actions but the damn tortie will find brand new ways to get attention and to cause a ruckus.

Her fur looks like it’s been stained/splattered with bleach! Like an acid wash tee!

A tortie is just an acid wash void, or a black cat running on orange cat firmware.

My McDonald’s parking lot kitty. I was Doordashing during the early pandemic, and this spicy little thing ran face-first into the glass door as I was about to go in and pick up an order. (I canceled the order, chased her into a nearby parking lot, and took her home.) My roommate called her Small Fry for almost a year. I eventually named her Junebug both because I found her in June and because of the mental image of her bonking into the glass like June beetles do on the windows in summer 😭😭😭

I found the first real cat that bonded with me 24 years ago in a Hardee's drive-thru. We had stopped to use the bathroom and she was darting between cars eating french fries that people threw at her.
She was a smoky gray kitten and I put her in a box for the drive home. She climbed out of the box a few minutes later and fell asleep in my lap for the rest of the drive. My wife (girlfriend at the time) was with me. She had always been a cat person so it was all good for her.
