That's how you get cats πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Literally since the beginning of cats being pets.

Congratulations, you are being adopted.

Please do not resist.

Some people go their entire lifes without being chosen by a Cat. You mist be worthy

I have been chosen by two cats and I broke their trust and rejected them 😭.

I blame my mental illness but it hits home right now. I had never thought about being "chosen". God I am an asshole

β€œHe already had a collar and a name!” ;)

That's how it goes. We've never adopted from a shelter and still managed to collect 6 cats. 2 rehomes and 4 foundlings.

My previous cat came with my house. She was a TNR'd feral cat that hung out on our front porch and was the friendliest cat I've ever met. We decided to let her inside one cold night and she never even tried to go back out the door.

The cat distribution system strikes again!

Make sure she is not chipped or something. You don't want to steal someone elses pet.

i was thinking of putting a collar on him with a note + number attached in case he belongs to someone so they can contact me. he leaves for small amounts of time but always comes back. good thinking.

Congratulations! I got mine when I went to an animal shelter and she climbed on my shoulder.

Star was the name of my best kitty ever. She was a great friend and the most wonderful fur baby anyone could ask for. Your Star is beautiful and I hope you spoil her rotten :)

Beautiful cat! Congrats.

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 6 points 11 months ago

That's cool, but why did you deny yourself the pleasure of having a cat until now?

[–] Alivrah@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

What a handsome little fella. They seem comfortable and relaxed already! Congrats on being adopted, OP!

Manifest reality.

[–] ChrisLicht@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

I like this cat.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 4 points 11 months ago

Sometimes it's meant to be :)

[–] kool_newt@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

She's so pretty!

Adorable fuzzball!

[–] Damage@slrpnk.net 2 points 11 months ago

She's adorable!

[–] YourMomsTrashman@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Hi Star!!!!

They have a habit of walking up out of the world, don't they?

[–] luminaree@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Aww congrats! They look like a sweetheart :)
