My boy Bleep caught his first meal a month or so ago (I haven't attached any dead squirrel pics, don't worry) and has followed up with a further two since. I'm as proud of the little fucker as if he was my actual kid...

I have two cats, a white/grey boy and a black girl. The boy is older but smaller and he loves to cuddle ALL THE TIME but is a fucking goblin too and keeps smacking the girl for no fucking reason. Girl is quiet but loves to lay on my plants, she has killed 3 already. Also, she doesn't know how to meow and makes a weird cute noise.

I love them to death.

I was worried about my hens with a recent freeze too, but they didn't seem to be affected much at all. They ARE endowed with feather down jackets after all. But, I also struggled with frozen water.

I really, really wish I could have a house chicken. Something to snuggle up with on my lap while I'm playing vidya or watching tv. But chickens poop wherever and whenever. I'm sure they make chicken diapers but I just don't think that's going to cut it...

They do make chicken diapers... But I too am often tempted to bring one of my poofy ladies to work with me, and just have a cotton-ball chicken sitting in my lap for the day.

My husband brought a chick to work with him once because we weren't home to watch it, and it didn't hatch with any buddies. But he's never brought an adult.
 
Unusual pet but I have a hamster- I treat her like my child. My place/job rn isn’t suitable for a dog or cat, so I thought I’d get myself a hamster instead. She is absolutely SPOILT in a two storey bin cage, has fresh food along with pellets and generally helps me get by day to day since she depends on me.
 
My dog is very affectionate but also quite diffident, so when he wants something he gets my attention by orbitting me in little circles. He's a big dog so it's funny to watch him trying to wind round my legs like a cat.
 
My nerite snail kicked the bucket after a year and 3 months, and I just acquired a new one. My Betta has only ever gone after pest snails and was always chill with my nerite, so hopefully he'll be just as okay with this tankmate.
Speaking of my betta, if 50% water changes every other day aren't enough to heal his popeye, would methylyne blue or aquarium salt baths help? It's only in one eye but I don't want it to spread to the other one, especially since he already has a few bumps near his face that might be tumors or cysts.
 
Husband's coworkers put this in their group chat. He brought them each a dozen, because we have a lot, and wake up to more every morning.
I love my hens.

Bad news frens. I noticed a huge lump on Blueberry's leg Friday. During the exam the vet noticed his breathing was funny. He's always had "the snufflies" off and on his whole life so I didn’t think to mention it.

Chest xray and ultrasound found two more masses in his chest. We can't tell if they are just lipomas or cancer without biopsies, but if it's cancer there isn't much they can do. He's 14 and had most of his teeth removed and is diabetic, so he's had more than his fair share of medical procedures. It's not really fair to ask him to do more at his age.

So I brought him home and will keep an eye on him. Other than the breathing he's acting like his normal self, so his quality of life is still good.

He's the cat of my heart. I've never loved a cat as much as I love him. I'm heartbroken right now. Hopefully his masses are benign and I'll have him for a few more years. My guess is I won't though. I just lost my 18 year old last April. It doesn't seem fair to lose another one so soon.

If you're the praying sort say a prayer for my kitty? And for me to have the wisdom to know when it's time.

The older i get the more rapidly i evolve into a crazy cat man.

Things took a dramatic turn towards cats for me several years ago. I bet that's when the toxplasm amoebas arrived in my brain.

I want to get a print of this painting for my bedroom.
 
Short funny story today:
I have had outdoor cats most of my life, so I’m used to the occasional “gift” such as a dead bird or mouse.
I have two outdoor cats who adopted me, a black and white one, and a Siamese one. They’re siblings.
I walked out to let my two dogs out today, and noticed a new gift left by my cats.


A Mardi Gras necklace bead, intact. They must have found it somewhere in the neighborhood, because I didn’t go to any parades this year, and the parade route was on the other side of the city. Most pleasant cat gift that I have ever been left.
 
My current pet count:
9 dogs (working and pet)
3 ponies
16 alpacas
27 highland cows
7 F1 Swiss Valais sheep
About to add some geese and ducks to the mix 💖
 
i don't wanna PL too much because i talk incessantly about my cats and have so much lore and random names for them that its quite identifiable. they are both dickheads but in total opposite ways, so normal cats i guess.

one you can freely smoosh your face in its belly, the other would kill you if you went near the belly.

ones a super senior and the other is quite young, its hard seeing the senior age but we're doing everything we can to ensure a happy and healthy life. i curse every time i pay a vets bill but would never do otherwise and feel lucky to be able to offer good care.

Mine will somehow take up more than half of my double bed. He's a big cat, but not like Maine Coon sized, I don't know how he does that. And if I'm too restless, he'll bite my feet. Fuckhead.

one of mine does this too. cats dedication and skill to inconveniencing their humans is something to behold. me and my partner contort around the fuzzy loaf cos cats comfort comes first.
