Flashback to when Mama became an indoor cat. She had been in an accident and her tail had to be amputated. No longer a stray.
My shapeless mass of malevolence (Frostmaw's Big Debut!)
I woke her up by putting together the table pieces she was sleeping on

her name is actually Little Kitty 🐱 Adopted her as Mia but my parents always called her Little Kitty so I guess it just stuck lol
Caught Rosie in a monster yawn
So, we went to adopt a cat over the weekend and adopted a sweet Siamese kitten that we will pick up on Tuesday. I’m very excited and have created a cute little cat room for him.
But, I also fell in love with an adult, long hair tortie. I saw her online and thought she was just beautiful and feel even more in love in person. She loved getting rubs and belly rubs from me. I sat there and gave her belly rubs for about 10-15 minutes and she just purred and purred. But, she wouldn’t let me pick her up. We have 2 small children, so felt as if she might be a good fit in our home but I feel in love with her. What is the temperament of torties? What are they like?
She took it personally
But I know she's plotting world domination 🤣🤣
We adopted this little girl about 9 weeks ago from a foster that works with the local humane society. She came to the shelter with an injured front left leg that ended up requiring amputation, and the foster thought she had been abused early on. She's hyper aware of any noises and while she has made great strides in warming up since we adopted her, she still won't interact with us outside of the spare bedroom that we first set her up in. She explores the house and definitely wants attention but will sprint back to the safe space when we try to get close to her. I'm hoping that eventually she'll feel comfortable enough to be a couch lap cat and such, but we'll just take it day by day and spend time with her when she'll allow.
At least once we're back in the spare bedroom she's looking for pets and skritches, and she thoroughly loves her belly rubs!
Tried to get a good one of Pumpkin, ended up with this. 🤣 I just love her.
I love her cream eyebrows, winged eyeliner, forehead dot, and of course the one lucky paw with pink beans. She's so pretty as a full adult, grew into her massive tail
We’ve had extremely cold temps here (5 F), and at work one morning, my partner found her frozen to the cover of a well. Our only guess is she somehow got her paws wet and then happened to walk across the metal.
Of course, once she was freed she came home to live with us :)
