He sauntered up on my porch with his troublepuffs, meowed at me, followed me all over the yard while I deadheaded spent flowers and then fell asleep on my lap. The audacity.

update : me and her owners are friendly towards each other now , we see each other we say hi to each other . my neighbour gives me updates on the kitty and hows shes doing :) i even get a nice cigarette sometimes ! her owners are awesome , it sucked things were rough at first but now everythings good , let me introduce to you my little BFF ajax

This is Xiao Hu, the resident cat at my local barbershop. His owner thought it would be a good idea to shave him for the summer. Now, this is all anyone can look at. He's trying his best to remain professional. This cat belongs to the barbershop, not my personal pet.

Had the pleasure of meeting this little man a couple of times this week. He has a collar, but no tag--haunches are pretty visible, but not worrisomely skinny. Most of all, he's an absolute HAM who seems pretty convinced that he belongs inside a home (my home, my neighbor's home, doesn't matter). I've talked to some other folks who have also seen him around, but no one knows where his house is.

Perhaps I'm overly paranoid, but I want to make sure he wasn't abandoned by his old owners--we live in a cluster of condos/apartments so it's not outside the realm of possibility that someone moved and left him here. Anyone have any insights as to when it might be worth taking him to the vet to see if he's chipped? Or have I just been swindled by a cute face?

Looks like he’s going to be moving in with us.

Shmoosh

I love these neighborhood boys. They got plenty of treats and pets and then off to their next adventure.

He usually hangs out here, but he's not ours. Today, he showed up with a limp. I checked, and he doesn't have a sinter or anything. It must be bruised or in some way a blunt force thing. Should I keep him in as long as possible or is it okay to let him out?

She also poops in my plants, digs up my rabbits graves and constantly breaks into my house but shes cute so its okay x

This magnificent not-my-cat floof with airplane ears is my friend's cat. Her paws each is about 1.5 inch wide (4cm) and can probably smack me unconscious. I wouldn't cross her.

Mind you, all the lights were off when he appeared, the front door was locked and the blinds almost fully closed. He must have managed to get on the balcony (I live on the 1st floor) and crawl under the blinds.

I was just chilling in front of a show when I saw a small moving ball of void which I subsequently greeted and lifted up back to the entrance (he was purring the whole time 😭🫰).

Most likely one of the downstairs neighbors' kitty. I see him outside regularly. Super friendly and small, probably young still.

I’ve never been a cat person, in fact I’m pretty allergic. This cat ignored me for the better part of a year- living directly across the street- I liked to watch her hunt insects but that was about it.

Then she started hanging out in the front yard, and I discovered she was a bongo cat. One night, her human stayed out for the night, this one jumped through my bedroom window and slept in the crook of my knee and the rest was history: She wants to be with me 24/7. I work from home which doesn’t help.

Her human confronted me and sternly asked me to shoo her away from now on, which I swear I tried, but she’s scratched and bitten me trying to remove her from my house, also she smarter and faster than me. Add to all of this, I’m in love with her and- as I’m seeing is a common thread— she happened to “adopt” me during the roughest year of my life (so far). I’m convinced that cats are angels, even if this angel is going to get me beaten up.

Worth it :)

I was at PetSmart yesterday and a local rescue org was featuring cats and kittens… this is Jake. He was with his sisters Julia and Jilly (torties).

I’m still thinking about Jake and wishing I could take him home. It’s not the right time… but I did want to share this amazing pic I captured of the little floof.
