Me and my grandpa have gotten nearly all our cats from the fact that people just abandon their cats at his old barn. His farm has effectively turned into a cat sanctuary.

Hegar,

I opened the door one day and there he was. He looked up at me, meowed hungrily and put a paw up the doorway.

Texas_Hangover,

I just got one that way, sweet little thing. Already had one cat, that my daughter begged and pleaded for, said “no” because we have 2 dogs already, finally relented on the condition that, “if the dogs kill the cat, you can’t hold it against them because dogs are gonna dog, and they were here first.”

One dog absolutely fell in love with the cat and they’re inseparable now, and the other dog didn’t give a fuck either way. Then suddenly door cat shows up and adorabled its way into our lives…

Fuzzyleftovers,

That is the cutest use of language I have ever seen: adorabled

Texas_Hangover,

Incredibly apt too lmao. I was not a cat person whatsoever, treacherous self-centered critters. I had no use for them. But I’ll be damned if they ain’t fucking cute and lovable once you let your guard down lol.

shalafi,

How I got my last one. One-eyed, starved, raggedy assed cat just sitting there, asking for help.

Hegar,

Mine was tailless, filthy, with a large hairless scar across his back and blue bow tie.

TropicalDingdong,

and blue bow tie.

How cute!

criticon,

The cat distribution system is broken in my area. There are almost no strays, we were “hunting” for one for a couple of months until we decided to go to a petsmart to adopt our boy

Probably best for the environment.

The prevalence of coyotes and other predators in my rural mountain town means that there are effectively zero strays around me. We had to drive an hour plus from our house to a shelter at the closest “big” city to adopt our latest.

So how is it broken?

A baby Yoda meme, really?

GBU_28,

In this economy?

TropicalDingdong,

At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?

I had a cat that literally broke into my family’s house, he was our neighbor’s cat, so we put him back out and thought he went home. This repeated several times.

We eventually found out our neighbors threw him out in favor of keeping a pitbull. The cat then moved in permanently.

brlemworld,

You should have drafted a newsletter about it and given it to all of your neighbors.

TIMMAY,

my little orange boy was found eating sausage patties under the dumpster at work and now he is eating salmon pate on my kitchen table 🤷‍♂️

Probably the luckiest cat to ever live. Not even I let my cats on the table much less the kitchen table.

Noodle07,

I’ve never let my cat on the table but that never seemed to stop her

NocturnalMorning,

Found my little gremlin in a bush outside a store when she was a kitten. Poor thing had part of her ear missing. From a recent attack/fight of some kind. She’s been with me for 5 years now.

You sure that’s not a sterilisation marker? Cats get an ear clipped after being sterilised during a catch and release program.

My cat has it, that’s how I know.

NocturnalMorning,

No, the ear was not clipped cleanly, and she still had her lady parts. I got her spayed later.

spacecowboy,

Yep that’s a TNR clipping on the ear, I bet.

Trap, neuter, release. Very common.

NocturnalMorning, (edited )

No it wasn’t at all. The cat was attacked, was very obvious bcz it was like part of her ear was ripped off, and it was a female cat that still had her lady parts, which we later spayed.

spacecowboy,

Oh okay, my mistake.
