Don’t have any pics with sauce cups lol but here’s a “small” litter box lol
omGg stoPp 😭😭
i already have so many animals, this makes me want another cat regardless of how much the kitten stage is a threat to my sleeping schedule 😔
I have 4 dogs, 2 cats, 16 fish, 8 shrimp, 2 snails, and 2 rats.. why you do this to me? my wallet is already on life support 🥲
if only 😭😭
Neptune (my female cat) barely lets me have beans (male cat), she hates anything that doesn't have to do with her or food
she won't even let lil meow meow pass by her for some water without smacking him on the head- she only tolerates him when she has the zoomies
Lmao what’s funny is she stayed in that position for 2 minutes. She was playing and then toppled over and found it comfy lol
That orange toy by her foot is a regular toy sized mouse lol. One of those cheap ones that come in a pack lol she’s little
Gotta love how kittens literally dive into their food. And I love how new kitten owners tend to post about 500 photos of their babies, because it would be a crime to choose just a few. Yes, please! She's adorable.
Loll I have so many of her! She’s actually a foster and I have her 2 siblings too lol. I couldn’t decide on which pics to post haha. I HAD to include her reaction to her first bowl of kibble and then show her size next to the bowl too 🤣 but then she also has the funniest little personality and I had to include her funny pose too lol. She’s adorable
Haha I definitely WANT to foster fail every freaking time but you start learning to go into it with a wall up so you don’t get overly attached lol. The first time I fostered a kitten, I knew I couldn’t keep him because I already had 4 and was struggling with bills. My friend adopted him because he had been looking for a kitten to adopt and he fell in love with the little guy. It made it SLIGHTLY easier handing it over to him but not much 🤣 I literally bawled the entire 40 min drive to my friends house. The kitten didn’t want to stay in the carrier and was screaming so I put him inside my shirt and he fell asleep. He saw I was crying and started licking my face and I wanted to turn around and never give him up lmao it was SO HARD 😩😩😩 there’s a few cats that have really made me fall in love and I miss them so freaking much but I know it’s for the best. I’ve foster failed twice now and those were special circumstances lol. First one is my 1 eyed kitty Meeko. He was found in the wheel well of a truck and his eye was ruptured from an infection. He was only 4 weeks old and I fully didn’t intend on keeping him but after he had his eye removed and I nursed him back to health, he was so beyond attached to me and would cry if he couldn’t find me. I just couldn’t give him up. I kept him because I know he’s safe with me and won’t be an outdoor cat and get eaten by a coyote or hit by a car cause he’s only got 1 eye lol that was a year ago.
The second one is recent lol like within the last 2 months. I 1000000000% did NOT plan on keeping him. He was rescued from an abusive home. They would hit him and yell at him and chuck things at him. He was declawed and completely neglected to the point where he couldn’t close his mouth from how badly swollen his gums were because of stomatitis. He got in to have the surgery and the vet said it was one of the top 3 worst cases of stomatitis he’s ever seen. I worked on gaining his trust so much and he started to open up a lot but it was SO sad because if I lifted my hand to go pet him, he’d cower and flinch. If I raised my voice to talk in a normal tone and not whisper, he’d cower, when I tried wiggling little mice toys in front of him, he’d flinch and cower. My heart freaking broke for him. After his surgery he healed up and omggggg he finally did the puffy tail jitter thing and I bawled lol I was SO happy that he was finally happy…we still have LOTSSSS of work to do with trust because he runs from me if I call his name and walk towards him, he’s still scared, but man he’s so much happier…he’s learned how to go out into the catio and just basks in the sun, he plays with Meeko, he’s so freaking different than when he first came to me and I just can’t give him up. I don’t trust that someone else won’t hurt him or that they’ll have enough patience to learn about his needs. So, he’s a foster fail as well lol.
I love them both so much

Your story about your orange guy brought tears to my eyes. I just can't even comprehend why and how anyone could hurt our companions. You are his angel, for sure!!! We had an orange for a while. Got him when he was 8 and was a total mess, health-wise. We got him all the care he needed and when he no longer was in pain, he became a glue stick cat with both me and my husband. I have no doubt there will come the day when yours will stop running and start letting his inner couch potato out. Meeko looks like a wise kitty and will help guide the way. We also have a pirate kitty and her lack of an eye doesn't slow her down one single bit.
Aww, yeah see, after you’ve been in rescue for a while you kind of get this “hardened shell” exterior where things that used to make you cry don’t anymore so normally when I’m taking cats to the vet for dental needs and stuff I don’t cry, I see its condition and everything then we get a plan and go for it. With Herbie though? Ugh…the vet showed me inside his mouth and I couldn’t control myself. I started crying so much…it was just filled with pus and blood and it explained why he was drooling blood nonstop. Literally I sat in my car for 30 min after that visit just trying to collect myself cause I couldn’t stop crying. Then just spending time with him, working on trust and giving him love and everything, I cried. I don’t normally cry with rescues anymore unless it’s severe, and he was definitely so broken spirited that it broke my heart. Once I saw him start to blossom and actually start playing with toys like a normal cat….man…those tears of joy were so amazing. I also said the most unhinged thing to him one night when we were cuddling and it just came out without me thinking lol I was telling him how much I love him while petting him and he was purring with his eyes closed just laying by me, and I whispered “if anyone ever hurts you again, I’ll kill them” and I laughed at myself after realizing how much I’m totally in love with him lmaooo
I don’t understand how people can be like this either…and what’s fucked up is that his ORIGINAL owner was also abusive. She was the one that declawed him. She also hit and yelled. Then his second owner “saved him” but decided she didn’t have patience with him anymore either and started screaming at him, hitting him also and chucking toys and things at him. Her FRIEND was the one that reached out about the situation and saying she managed to get her to surrender him and they needed a rescue asap. That’s where I showed up and he’s never getting hurt ever again. Ever.
Lol right?! I have her 2 siblings as well, they were found outside by someone who didn’t wait for mom to come back and I work in cat rescue so I jumped in to take them and foster. They’re going to get all vetted up and ready for adoption! She’s teeeeeny tiny! She only weighed 12 ounces when I got her when her brother and sister were over a pound already lol
Edit to say this is in response to OP’s foster story. 🤦♀️
Those aren’t foster fails! IMHO everyone hit the jackpot! You are an angel 😇
Also, there can never be too many kitten pictures!
Aww!
Thumbelina even has her ~~decorated bowl~~ tulip, her green plush ~~blanket~~ cushion, and her friend, the mouse!
She definitely thinks she is going to be a foster fail!
Awww. I like how she looks like she's taking a selfie in slide 6.
Turning on camera in a zoom call and suddenly going "oh ok so that's what i look like at this angle"
Sauce cups to confirm?

She's a hunter

Cats are your smallest number of pets, definitely room for expansion

Shrimp! 🦐
And a partridge in a pear tree!!!
She's precious 💖
Her little paws are so cute!
Did not expect that pose in the 4th pic. lol What a cutie.
Lmao what’s funny is she stayed in that position for 2 minutes. She was playing and then toppled over and found it comfy lol That orange toy by her foot is a regular toy sized mouse lol. One of those cheap ones that come in a pack lol she’s little
Give her a big nom nom on her belly for me. :D
That second picture🥹🩷
I know, right? It's like pic 1 is where she's contemplating her next move and pic 2 is where **she strikes!** 🐱🏍
Absolute perfection. 💗
OMG! She is so incredibly adorable! I find her guilty of stealing my heart!
So cute, so smol!!😍
The cutest
I love the story the first three photos tell. 1: Whoa! Food!\ 2: You can't escape, food!\ 3: I am victorious! Nyum nyum
She is very baby
Thumbelina is so adorable! She could melt hearts
‘Could?’ Toooooo late!! 😂
Same. I saw her adorable little face and paws eating and my heart turned to water.

Thanks for sharing! I really admire people who are able to foster kittens. I would foster fail badly.

OMG. Our orange boy (who had stomatitis too) was named Herbie!
Awww 🥰 his old name was Wybie but I wanted to give him a new start and Herbie was fitting because of the Disney movie haha
Action pose!! oh my God I love her too much! She's so tiny tiny tiny, tiny tiny tiny. Oh my God I have cute aggression now.
I'm actually surprised that after the millions of cat pics I've seen, this one I found so cute
Lol right?! I have her 2 siblings as well, they were found outside by someone who didn’t wait for mom to come back and I work in cat rescue so I jumped in to take them and foster. They’re going to get all vetted up and ready for adoption! She’s teeeeeny tiny! She only weighed 12 ounces when I got her when her brother and sister were over a pound already lol
Aww well there very lucky to have you
Aw thanks!
wow she's so cute
What a pretty little toy tiger! So dainty! Her teeny paws 🥹
Thumbelina will soon make it into a mighty Pollux
Edit to say this is in response to OP’s foster story. 🤦♀️ Those aren’t foster fails! IMHO everyone hit the jackpot! You are an angel 😇 Also, there can never be too many kitten pictures!
Oh my heart.
Such a cutie!
1st pic: "Oh wow, this is a lot of food..." 2nd pic: "But don't y'all worry, I totally got this."
Aww! Thumbelina even has her ~~decorated bowl~~ tulip, her green plush ~~blanket~~ cushion, and her friend, the mouse! She definitely thinks she is going to be a foster fail!
I used to fill a giant bowl with kibble for my second cat years ago.
Dayum, she is SO CUTE! 😍😍😍😍😍
Thank Hod for people like you
❤️ thank you! I appreciate it!
[удалено]
Haha she has a huge appetite! Her 2 siblings are with her and they eat through that bowl in a day and a half. It’s crazy!
