We Need To Talk About Cats.

Silly Lilly had two only semi domesticated parents, although her giant pawed Dad loves the telly.

10 or more? My neighbor and I TNS'd all the ferals in our neighborhood. Took us about three years. I hand raised so many litters and adopted out so.many.cats. But big slappy heart I have, I kept any of the rejects rather than take them to a shelter that might KILL them! Would get them neutered and spayed and all their shots, then adopt them out for free but required anyone that adopted one to promise if for any reason the cat didn't work out, it comes back to ME and not a shelter. Only ever had one returned due to moving circumstances. I do have one (18 yrs) that I'm going to have to put down, but was waiting until after Christmas. He's on his last legs.

In no particular order:
Brutus (he's younger in this pic, but he's the one destined for kitty catnip fields)

When my first dog was getting old and ready to die my parents who were split at the time worked together to get me a puppy. Soon after that, the first time we ever took that puppy, now a little older, to the vet, I saw a bunch of cages in a side room full of kittens and asked one of the veterinarians about them. She said they were giving them away for free. So, I went to my Mom and asked her if I could keep one.... after I had already taken the one I wanted out of her cage. We ended up bringing her home and she got along very well with the miniature daschund I had just gotten not long before. I remember how when she was still little he would pick her up by the scruff of her neck and carry her around like a toy and she would just let him. It was too cute.

You have a Zoo at home, all I got is my dog, how do you manage time for them?

Wife and I raised four kids, but are now empty nesters. We both work, I work from home, so there's always time for them. Cats are quite self-sufficient, but they come to me when they want to say hi or just want some affection or kitty crunchies during the day. The dog is one of the cats; she guards the pride and plays with them all the time and it's not uncommon to see one of the cats curled up next to her. Dog gets walked every evening. The dog and the tortoise are also best buddies. It's just one big happy family and really not that time consuming or trouble at all.

Below is Socks, for sure. Total tail thumper!

My two boys. They are from a TNR program and are the sweetest boys. I am so grateful to have them. After my elderly cat died in January I was so devastated. Idk. I'm an atheist but I wished to whatever cat god in the cat universe there might be, that I can have a cat who loves me. I don't care about anything else. I don't care if it's an old scruffy cat as long as it loves me.

I have two healthy boys that are sweet and friendly and so dang loveable and also very spoiled. They have two three tier cat trees. They insist on this configuration.
