@timber

They are gorgeous!

 

I have just one here.

 

I have 2, Poppy is a cranky (but loveable) 13 year old tabby & white, & Tilly is an 8 year old, mainly white with a touch of black moggy. Tilly is in love with Betsy dog (as you can see from my avatar ) She waits in the hallway for Betsy to return from her walks
Lovely pictures of everyone's cats by the way! :thumbsup:

 

I have one- a gorgeous little black cat who is purely evil. She was captured as a feral baby and though she is quite friendly towards people remains some feral characteristics. Not knowing that humans existed until she was 5weeks old and being taken from her cat family at that age took its toll on her social skills.

She hates all non human animals besides my ferrets and the old cat I had when she was a kitten that has since passed. She barely tolerates the dogs, so I wouldn't dare get another cat while I have her. I do love that little creature, though!

 

That's interesting as my Tilly was a feral kitten, taken by a cat rescue group also at 5 weeks. The Mama was neutered & set free & the kittens were homed at 8 weeks. Tilly has also struggled with some skills, she doesn't groom herself like Poppy does or do that cute kneading thing, things I guess they learn from their Mama, & although she loves people (& Betsy of course!) she's not keen on being picked up, but will happily curl up on my lap. She also has a shorter than Normal, slightly wonky tail, bless her You can guarantee where I am, she will be close by, which I love

 

We have had two cats at a time for the past 25 years, along with different dogs over the past 13 years. We lost both of our 15 year olds to kidney failure last year so we adopted two rescues in hopes that they would bond. So far it hasn't worked out too well. The big red and white boy from the local pound is one of the nicest cats we've ever had, easy going, affectionate, not finicky and playful.

The calico girl is a piece of work (and the first female I've ever owned). She's extremely territorial, stand offish, and finicky about her food. Just as she was beginning to come out of her self-imposed exile in the kitchen, our old dog passed and we rescued a nine month old terrier puppy. Toby and Emma wrestle and chase each other like I hoped the cats would but Tina wants nothing to do with either of them. To say our little family is a work in progress is an understatement. But they are all very young animals and hopefully over time will mellow into a better relationship.

Toby and Emma

 

Tina has the look of my Poppy, the look that says 'I will tolerate you, just!' Seriously, I love her to bits, she curls up close to me & my husband during the night, but man does she have a mean streak when she wants to!!

 

A few pictures of my dog + cats.

I don't have a picture with the whole crew.

Toby & Shadow:
Shadow is a 1 year old black tabby cat who was supposed to be temporary through my rescue but when nobody wanted him, he was foster failed.
He and Toby have a very close bond so I do feel it's better he's here with us.
They tend to stick pretty close to each other.

Toby & Honey:
Honey is a 5 year old buff tabby cat. She has a lot of cattitude. I am basically her only accepted human, and that's fine, I've had her since she was the size of my palm.

Sebastian, Toby and Shadow:
Sebastian is a 6 or 7 year old tri tabby. He is black, brownish-orange and white and walked into our lives right off the streets. Hasn't left since.

Trixie:
My beloved maine coon mix, she is 10 years old and typically a "loner". She was my first pet when I moved out of my parents house and I'm looking forward to many more years with her.

 

I love how your dog uses the cat tree!!

 

I was just going to say the same!!

 

He loves the cat tree haha. Looks out the window up there and sleeps with the cats. He's a total goof ball, has done it since he was around 5-6 months old haha.

 

Three!
Two are outside rat cats that have followed my family to three different houses and haven't run off. One's a gray tabby (Annie) and one's an orange tabby (Kuren) and both are about 10. The gray tabby does great at keeping snakes and mice away from the house and barn.
Then there's my four year old indoor Birman mix named Sherlock. He's a little cross eyed and loves messing with my brother's GSD and my Mal. He was our first indoor pet and went through both of our dog's puppy stages. Since he's such a great escape artist he stays with my parents while I'm in college.
Sorry for rambling. Cats can be just as fun and troublesome as dogs can.

 

I forgot to add pictures. I only have pictures of Sherlock currently on my phone (gotta wipe the thing clean every couple of months since I take too many pictures of my pets).

 

Just one! We had two but she went into heat and somehow got out of the house, and it was just three days before we were gonna get her spayed. Haven't seen her since.

And your cat's GORGEOUS, Tucker. Like geezzz
And I love yours Timber, it's so cute seeing siblings not separated from each other

This is my baby, have had her for years. My very first cat - I never thought I'd own a cat but she's my babe<33

 

None, give me any ideas on which one I should get?

 

You can contact reputable cat rescues and discuss what would suit you, your needs/wants, and lifestyle. I like foster-home based rescues because they have better knowledge how the cat is in a home environment. Good luck in your search.

 

@xmitters

Thanks! Yours is too. I love how she also has the M on her forehead! And I agree with Timber. Rescued that have a foster system will know very specific details that other places may not. For instance, my roommate just adopted a cat who was fostered with a large GSD, which is perfect since I'm going to have my Mal in our apartment as well. She was able to find a cat that wouldn't have a heart attack the first time my dog play barks at it and can give some sass right back to him.

 

I've only ever had 4 cats. My first one, Ashley, I got her when she was about a year old, and I was in my early 20s. She lived to be 21 years old.

This is Ashley when she was about 4 years old.


After having a grey and white tuxedo shadow for 21 years, I decided my next cat was going to be a grey and white tuxedo too. I was just too use to seeing those flashes of color for 21 years as Ashley ran past me or I saw her sleeping on the bed.

I adopted a 6 1/2 year old cat who's name was Cleo at the shelter..she had been badly abused by her former owners...a brutal dad who kicked her, and I believe the children tormented her to no end. She was a nervous wreck for the first 3 years I had her. She's now trusts me not to hurt her and will come and lay on my chest. I renamed her Kayla after getting her, hoping it help her forget her difficult past.

KAYLA at around age 7


I never got another cat with Ashley because she was very aggressive towards other cats, but Kayla would stop and gently paw at her reflection, so I thought she might use a friend...a 'normal' cat who could teach her not to be afraid of everything and I adopted a cat that had 7 toes on each of her feet. She had what I would call the 'common' name of 'Socks' I renamed her Shayle...using the letter's in Ashley's name but also because she like to go roll and climb around the shell piles in the Department of Transportation lot next to my house. Shell was about 2 years old when I got her, but sadly one day when she was about 6 or 7 years old, she went out the doggy door and never returned.

SHAYLE


About 2 years after I lost Shayle I adopted a cat who's name at the shelter was 'Mouse' I hated that name. To me a mouse is something that leaves turds on my counter and chews through anything it can to get at food. I've tossed out pasta, flour, sugar and other things due to mice over the years. Also, I don't think mouse is a nice name to give to a cat. So I renamed her and she's now Song. Song is named after one of my favorite Asian actresses, Song Ji Hyo. Also, grey cats are sometimes called 'blues' and I had a terrible few years before getting her and the song 'Song Sung Blue' by Neil Diamond would run through my mind sometimes, plus she does have a pretty meow and makes 'singing noises'.

SONG


So, as of now, I have 2 cats, Kayla and Song.

I have one named Ed. He lives outside but is as happy as any cat can be. He comes on hikes with us and loves to play with my dog Banjo.
