    Is it a Bengal?

    He's precious whatever he is! He does have some very distinct spots that's partial to Bengal cats. He's beautiful!

    When a cat is dying...

    With all three cats I've had pass, all with different personalities, they all wanted to comfort and to be close. Shirley was my moms cat and died when I was 11. I had pulled this cats tail so many times as a baby, she wanted nothing to do with me. During her last few days, I was the only one...

    Cat has abandoned me for roommate

    They totally do! And they definitely have feelings and when we hurt their little cat feelings when we don't even mean to, they don't hide how they feel about it!

    My rescued cat is now scared of me

    update: we took her to the vet and they ruled out any illnesses. Her gums and ears were healthy looking and she ate whatever the vet would give her! And she purred and rubbed against everyone that touched her. She is still sitting on the back enclosed porch but doesn't throw a fit to get...

    Cat has abandoned me for roommate

    You're not alone! I went through a similar situation with my cat dory. A few years after I got her, I moved in with my gramma and grampa and took her with me so she could keep my grampa company while he went through chemo. I moved out after a couple years when I was 18 and my son was 1. And dory...

    Two cats, possibly Siamese?

    Oh no, I would never really breed. Too many kitties that need adopted already. And their voices sorta sound like those of a Siamese, like you said, it's THAT voice. And sansas is more soft and quiet but she does get vocal if she can't find me.

    Two cats, possibly Siamese?

    Thank you Mae! I did have someone yesterday say she looked like a snowshoe and I've done a lot of research on her since then and I think she might be as well. Too bad there's no way to ever fully know, I know they're definitely rare right now. Her tail does look a bit more like the cat on the...

    Pumkin, my little friend.

    I'm so glad I found this site. I've never been able to talk about how I lost pumpkin and have people truly understand. Last year in March, Mittens, the cat I've had since I was 2 years old, passed away after a long, happy 18 years of life. I was so devastated though. I was moving when my mom...

    stray/feral kittens

    When I fostered a four week old kitten for a while, I got a huge box from work, lined it with puppy pads (that way if they go, it wont be on the floor or anything) and put in a little electric blanket (or heating pad) so they'd feel like they were with their mama. If those cats are eating wet...

    How much did you pay to adopt your cat?

    Our local shelter was overrun and pricing all cats and kittens for 10$ for the month of June. She was spayed, microchipped and tattooed, was utd on all shots and vaccines, and we got a free bag of food. She was way too gorgeous to leave, and the oldest cat there at 3 years old. I knew the...

    collars?

    Both my kitties wear collars, one I adopted was already microchipped so I have her chip number on the tag and the phone number for 24 pet watch you can call (I want to get the tag that the previous posters talked about, the non dangling one, but I'm not sure where I could find/order it so I can...

    My rescued cat is now scared of me

    Another update, and now it seems I have another problem. I found her hiding under my bed this morning and I let her be. I called my vet and have an appointment in about two hours from now. While I was outside watering my plants, she pushed open the screen door and came outside with me! She let...
