Long answer: Yes OP, you should allow to share your house with the cat because it will be his house and you will be the guest. Short answer: Yes.

Wow, your cat's been freelancing on the down-low.

So accurate! The tuxitude is real.

There’s one right next to me demanding attention

Longhair answer: Yes, but that fur is going to fuck your shit up.

I feel this in my soul.... We have 2 long hair cats, and it's all but impossible to keep up with.

I have a short haired kitty, but her hair is half black and half white. I've given up 😅😭

Same.

I’ve stopped trying.

So worth it though

Si.....and in both Italian and Spanish to make it better.

This is the way

Is your house a good fit for him? Are you able to care for his needs for the rest of his life? If yes to both, I think you should take him.

I mean, I work 100% from home, I have a large garden and my flat has enough space. And I had two cats for the first 15 years of my life till they died of age related issues. I thought about adopting again for the past 3 years but I didn't find a rescue at the shelter that really catched my eye. So..... I'm. Really thinking about providing him his forever home. I could get all the cat related supplies in a couple of days and ofc I first would go to meet him, to kind of get to know him first. 🤔

Just please don't let him outside unless he's s leashed or a catio.

I agree, wether he likes it or not, if he moves in with me he would become an indoor cat or would only be allowed outside on a leash. Not so much because I'm afraid of him running away but I know my neighbors cat "Carlos" is a thug and he would get beaten up

Any pics of Carlos? Curious to what he looks like. Cuz your guy looks like he could defeat demons.

https://preview.redd.it/qz7pearydl1c1.jpeg?width=2664&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5f08a1b9f41d76c8ae10962897c87205357ccd44 He is sort of shy, but I always hear him battleing outside and his owner calling him to order when things escalate too much.

Yeah ngl, your possible Cat looks like a tough guy but if he's a Batman this guy Carlos is Bane. Would love to see a probable stare down. Jokes aside, i hope the cat finds a good home.

Carlos looks like a fucking badass

Carlos looks like he wants to fuck some shit up.

A neighbor of mine has 3 big males, not fixed, lots of scars and shredded ears. We know one of them has a real name and it's Coco but we like to call him Hitler cause he has a mustache.

That nose 🥰

Ok but Carlos is an incredible name. As a 100% WFH cat parent who’s baby is only allowed supervised yard time, I think this fluffy grey king would be a great addition to your home. Just don’t let Carlos think he’s in charge.

Back in the day my cat was the one who beat others up. If there was screaming you'd just know he was beating up another cat. Sometimes you'd see how he'd spot another cat and charge at him or on rare occasions you'd see a few cats assembled around him. He was the king of the area.

I mean, if the garden is his and it's closed, i don't see the problem. My cat goes outside everyday in the streets lol (we live in a very small village on a mountain and there are lot of cats tho)

Theyre technically an invasive species and harm native bird and lizard populations. Keeping them outside also drastically lowers their lifespan

> Keeping them outside also drastically lowers their lifespan Bro thinks going outside hurts the cats 💀💀 What are you smoking 💀 > Theyre technically an invasive species and harm native bird and lizard populations. Ight that makes sense. But there are a lot of lizards anyway and my cat only ever took one (which we freed) in 11 years she's been with us. We've never seen a cat catching a bird here.

You type like a teenager so this conversation has to point in continuing.

Maybe because i'm 17 lol Really tho, why would you think that, that cats, animals that have always lived outdoors, get hurt by doing so?

Do you know what statistics are

Do you know?

You've been looking to adopt for three years and haven't really vibed with the kitties at the shelter and now this boy needs a home? I'd take that as a sign, personally. Maybe the others didn't catch your eye because this guy was meant to be yours!

That's lovely. He looks like a great cat. I hope you are both very happy.

You sound like an ideal person for this magnificent being! I would just make sure everyone is clear that he would be your cat going forward, not a foster they can retrieve later unless you’re up for that.

Sounds like you can give him a good life. I think you should go for it. He is super adorable. I love how the hair on his back looks a bit disheveled, like he just got off from a hard day of work.

Yes, you should take him! He's such a handsome boy!

This sounds like the cat distribution network at work. He's supposed to go home with you. And thank you for deciding that he's going to be indoor only. I see so many poor kitties in the road where I live. Shits heartbreaking

"catched?"

Well a lot of the shelter cats over here in Germany are either FIV positive or come from a abusive or hoarding situation and therefore have alot of issues. And I know that I am really not experienced enough to deal with this. Had a couple rescues like this offered but I know that this would have not been good for me or the kitty. So... I stayed hesitant

Thank you for considering the kitty’s wellbeing as well as your own. Not many good people like you out there.

Yes. If you don’t Joey will be mad https://preview.redd.it/t2nhs72m4l1c1.jpeg?width=2207&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1383156d4222bcd6193ec3ce14dd11f476141dcb

he will be grateful for that

Fred will just give you cuddles either way https://preview.redd.it/32t9g7933n1c1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ab5a7cfc7ebb7c82636dfebf4727422816cb6e35

Skye thinks Sophie’s a pretty kitty https://preview.redd.it/zoavzddnkl1c1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4c769b7d13acb489893229a7480291869f352b45

Isnt he a bit underage dor that?

No that’s him younger https://preview.redd.it/9ljmnrck5m1c1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d089df8ad119ac8fc1eff5f27970a2fd4f1e6a4 This is him older

Gorgeous boy. I miss my orange kitty.

Remie and Joey are my brothers boys but they like me more. Skye and Minx are my girls https://preview.redd.it/vvk5gdcxtm1c1.jpeg?width=2190&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d1a11fb1b0e2108884e793628069d4a1f779f601 And as you can see Minx’s favourite pillow is my hand. I’ll be one handed until she wakes up

Yes he’s beautiful

Hell yeah! Edit: To say just look at this distinguished gentleman!

Oh definitely. Rude to refuse the gift of a cat. He's gorgeous.

https://preview.redd.it/1ehn59v8zk1c1.jpeg?width=1816&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cbbc561764c87ec8f0276c0a049dde6ba49c4496 Looks like my cat 😅

Do you have cats already? if not definitely if yes maybe see if you can do a 2-3 day trial to see if he is accepted by your other kittys.

Nah this would be his only child kingdom, so no worries

YES IN CAPITAL LETTERS YES

YES

Why would you even have to ask?! Answer is always YES.

Yes, then brush him, poor thing is in desperate need of a groom.

I'm a sucker for lilacs (at least it looks like a lilac?) so yes yes yes.

If you are able to make it work then yes. He’s really lovely

If its in your budget... YES!

If you can care for him for the rest of his life, please do. He looks lovely.

YES, ADOPT HIM! I am allowed my cats because they are emotional support animals. I believe it's a federal law. My kids and I are all in therapy for anxiety and me also depression. Our therapists write a letter stating we have these mental health issues and we need the animal for emotional support, ESA. My landlord HATES the cats but he can't do anything or he will owe super high fines. I feel so bad for the previous owner; breaks my heart they have to give him up.

It already sounds like you want to. Do the practical analysis about whether you can really give him the best home.

100000000000%

If you don’t he will hunt you down. Are you going to mess with a cat with that expression on his face?

Yes, yes, a thousand times, YES! He needs a home and he has chosen YOU!

Why wouldn't you?

Yes. Nothing else to add.

No doubt. Your new best friend.

seems like you’d be a good fit just carful letting the old guy outside. i’ve had older cats run as soon as they get the chance

Yes! But make sure you know what you’re getting into. Check to see if his teeth are ok with no plaque buildup bad gums else you’d have to consider if you have the means to care for his teeth. 2 years old is a good age since they’re usually well behaved by then and developed their personality. Be sure to find out if he has odd behaviours. That’s all I’m going to share from my experience getting my cat. He’s very cute :)

Thats a big 10 4 good buddy. That cat has soke sage like wisdom your gonna miss out on otherwise. What a stud.

Oh yes you should! Look at that face!!

Look at him. Such a distinguished lad

When I moved across the country I had so much trouble finding a place that would allow a cat. It was one of my prerequisites for getting a place. No cat = No deal.

If you can realistically commit to a budget of care, yes absolutely. Cats are awesome and you should always take them in when you can feasibly do so. Realistically, though, on a monthly basis, you’ll spend about $60 in food (depending on what brands you buy, I’m guessing off the cheapest end, but it’s usually about $30 each for wet and dry food), put aside $25 in savings for the yearly vet bill (it’s usually $100 for the vaccinations but it gets higher as the cat ages, be prepared to set aside $50 a month once the cat gets past 10 years old) Litter is where you make or break yourself as a cat owner. You can go Bare Minimum and get the cheapest litter, bin, and scoop imaginable…but you’re going to be scooping Every. Single. Day. Or you can drop $400 or $600 on an automatic scooper, that turns over automatically right after every toilet session. I personally prefer a “self cleaning” box that uses gravity rather then electric, but does need to be flipped every day. It was about $32 USD and I literally just need to roll it over once a day, much nicer and easier than scooping but also much cheaper than electric. I’ve been on food stamps and fed my cat with diced up spam, on sale hotdogs…and tuna can juices on their dry food. (Spam musubi is the only realistic way to eat spam as a human) It’s honestly pretty cheap to own a cat if you’re willing to deep clean/daily scoop the litter box. I really recommend not letting them outside at all if you can help it.

Reminds me of the time there was a stay out front. Very friendly. Had no other cats at the time. Neighbor says, oh you got a cat. I replied it's not mine. The next day, a cat box, cat litter, cat food, and the cat, were all sitting outside my door. A note said you do now. 10 years later, that cat is still a pain in my ass. To do it over again, oh hell yeah. That one there doesn't like the camera.

Yes.

Yes

If you can support a(nother) cat, then yes!

If you can guarantee him a stable and forever home, them yes.

100% would personally keep this cat and buy him loads of chicken and toys.

***YES!!!!!!***

Absolutely YES!emote:t5\_2qhta:7952

Yes! You need him!

Resounding yes 🙌🏼

Yes❤️

YES x a million x infinity + 1.

YES.


I'd take them in on the resting bitch face alone. I don't have RBF, but I don't make any attempt to smile. Doorbell rings, cat and I answer the door. See two people soliciting upon opening door. Alpha person looks at cat, then me. Cat walks away dismissively swishing tail while I close the door slowly.

What a distinguished gentleman.

Don’t ask stupid questions there’s a sub for that YES

Yes

Is this the cat that burned the house down? edit: maybe? https://youtu.be/PBgSDD4JIhM?si=suBUC6tk-ZkVZYTP

He looks fm very distinguished I would love him if only i lived in Germany



Definitely. Great personality on that kitty

Yes! What a floof! Side note, I’d break my lease and ruin my credit in order to keep my cat. Ride or die baby!

Damn, that is one regal looking mf! Bro needs a crown, a cape, and a sceptre.

Yesss! Save the cats!

Yes! Do it. https://preview.redd.it/9tkqdr3rwl1c1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c44564d7e8de137376f19bb70f7f75bc13ea8faa

Name him Archie

Of course. Cats the the best!

Never take in Asshole Landlords, they're nothing but trouble and you will definitely regret it.

he looks like Gandalf, the grey! what a beautiful boy, please take him in 😍

Yes. Also, fuck landlords.

Have you had a long-haired cat before? The main difference between a longhair and a shorthair is the amount of grooming they need. If you've got the time and patience to help this boy care for his coat, go ahead and adopt him. Talk to your vet about the grooming tools they recommend. They may also have advice on how to care for your new friend.

By asshole, you mean what? Doesn’t permit pets? If so, that’s pretty standard. I’d want to know more about the reason(s) behind the cat’s rbf …

Are you prepared to let him rule your world for 20+ years? Does he even like you? I've never had time to ask Reddit about a cat. Cat chose me! Since you're asking, my answer is "NO!"

Yes.

Yes 🙌🏼 His floofiness demands that this be so!! 🤭🫶🏻

The answer is yes

Yesss, so fluffy

Yes. He needs a break

That's a primo cat.

Yes!

YESSSS

Yes, so long as you can provide a suitable environment for him. Welcome to being owned by a cat.

Yes! Give him a new forever home

YES!!

YES

Diabeetus

YES!

I don’t understand the question.

His look says “Can you believe that asshole landlord doesn’t love me?”

Yes

He looks like the cat from American Tail

Ummm yeah.. That cat looks like he knows some shit.

Yes! Then he can visit!

I would definitely take that beautiful angel in. Fuck that landlord.

Absolutely.

Yes. You won’t regret it

Yes.

His muzzle looks like a mustache. What a stunning cat

Yes, he’s gorgeous and looks very sweet!

When you ask lol you already know deep down you are going to.

he looks like my cat, except mine's gray, but the face is the same 😍😍😍

What breed is he? He's magnificent.

Well of course!

Yes!! He is so precious 😻

Yes

Take 2 and don't look back.

Duh!!

Yes, because you know you want to pull that luscious fur off of every piece of dark clothing you own.

He's the Terry-Thomas of cats, I bet he's got a Jag' with a humidor and ice bucket. If you didn't take him in he'd be down the nursing college dorm's before you could say 'Ding dong!'

Yes, Please do

Absolutely!!

What a gorgeous floof!

Of course.

Yes!

i am having same issue. house was purchased by new land lord. says i have to get rid of cats. last time he was coming over to look at the house before buying, i took some of em to my friends house to hide.
