sharing is caring is nice and all until it comes to sharing my pristine copies of tfota, in which I do not share and shall not care.

on the train and i just overheard someone talk about how they had a cat who would bring them little "present" aka dead animals and how the cat died after getting hit by a car and how she cried for days and it's like girl. keep your cat indoors and only take it outside on a leash. that way it won't have the opportunity to find little "presents" for you and it won't get hit by a car either

I cannot BELIEVE how quickly she fell in love with him. I fully expected her to never warm up to him but here she is! Even tolerated him attempting to nurse from her this morning!

The things is. I care about these characters immensely and I want to keep enjoying them. I've spent a lot of months re-reading comfort fics just to keep my brain from hurting me even more that it already does. It may sound stupid but they've kept me alive when there was nothing else left (they still do). It's the only thing I know for sure and the only thing I got right now.

in case you thought i was exaggerating my cat's fascination with the bathroom

Used my oodie to make a lil "tent" hiding spot for misako

She was hiding in her carrier for a few hours after the move, then stayed there for a bit.

Turned off the light to go to bed, and then...

She's gone out to explore our new room!! All on her own!! What a brave baby ❤️

Whichever anon sent me this today, thank you. There's no way you could have known, but a couple of days ago I suddenly and without warning lost a cat that I raised from the day he was born. When I saw this in my inbox I was confused at first, because what...checkmark...huh...but then I realized that it meant somebody had sent me something--out of the blue, just because--at a time that I really could use something good in my life, even something silly and fun. So, really, thank you. And green is my favorite "real" color, so having one of the checkmarks be green is pretty neat.

I've not really been able to draw anything worth anything lately, believe it or not, so here's the last picture I have of my Night Furry. He loved drives and walks, so earlier this summer on a road trip I took him to the top of the continental divide for a little hike.

(Yes, he's wearing a harness. He had an adventurous and independent temperament, so there was always a risk of him running off to explore someplace where he shouldn't go alone. I didn't just make him wear it because I'm a cruel and stifling cat butler.)

okay, so cat pics didn’t win the poll, but can we still see the cats?🥺

Here are my Two Idiots!

whenever people say "I let my cat(s) go outside because I feel like I'm restricting their freedom by keeping them in the house" I love saying

"Yeah that's kinda how I feel about having a 4 year old. I don't want to take away his freedom to explore nature. He's smart enough to stay away from cars, so I let him out every now and then. He knows how to find his way back home so he's fine!"

because really.... it's not that much different. In fact, I think a four year old child would be less likely to get hit by a car than a cat.

Your cat isn't "too smart" to avoid animal traps, cars, abusive people, poison traps, other animals, etc. If your outdoor cat goes missing? It's either because:

someone assumed your cat was lost and either A) took your cat to a shelter or B) adopted the cat as their own.

they're fucking dead. you let them roam around places where giant, fast, animal-flattening vehicles regularly pass through. And if you live away from the city, where there aren't as many roads, then your cat was snatched up by coyotes or other wildlife. I've been there.

If it's not those two, and the cat is simply just choosing not to come back, it's because you fucking suck as a cat owner and they don't want you.

Getting your cat vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered isn't done to make it "safe" for them to go outside. It's done as a preventative measure in case your cat accidentally gets outside.

And if you're letting your cat outdoors with no vaccinations and the ability to reproduce, you are causing problems for EVERYONE because now your cat is having babies with other stray cats that will be running around spreading diseases and having more and more babies that will do the same. And most of those cats will more than likely have to be put down. So don't be that person.

Keep your cats indoors.
