please follow the rules of the subreddit and learn our removal reasons. it is already a conditional subreddit; you don't have to have posted in [r/notmycat](r/notmycat) to be here but at the very least DISCUSS HOW YOU GOT YOUR CAT IN THE TITLE/CAPTIONS so we know you're not a bot. it doesn't have to be a paragraph, but we need to know your cat is yours.
so many subreddits are overrun by reposts and bots, we don't want to be like them.
do us a favor and make it [EASY] for us to spot the bots;
we have 6 mods with only one to two of them active.
it doesn't seem like we are looking for more.
i know i personally handle 80% of submissions at least (sue me, blame me, yadda yadda) with limited access/power.
for example, i can't even pin this post aka i can't do everything….
lastly, judging by our inbox, some of you forgot that "behave like you would in real life" portion of reddit rules.
He is r/nowmycat lol. Well, my parent's cat, technically. He's my "little brother". My parents who "don't like cats" fell for him so quickly, and now the rest is history. 🥰
This is me giving him bongos in our basement. He has us follow him down there to "watch his back" while using his litter box, but he always rolls around asking for pets first. 😂😂
My parents have always had black cats, so even though I adore orange kitties, bringing home this little guy just felt right. Some traditions are worth keeping. 🖤
P.S. Any tips for photographing black cats would be greatly appreciated. 😂
Jinx, Binx, and Salem,,,15 week old kittens I got after their mom had them in my apartment under my bed. I started feeding the mama last fall and made her a winter shelter last year.
The kittens refuse to sleep on the two other cat beds and just snuggle together. Or sleep on my bed.
They keep me busy but I wouldnt trade em for anything.
The kittens are now 14 weeks old. I started with no cats and now have four soon to be 3 as Gray is going to his forever home soon.
I started feeding their Mama who was a stray in my apartment complex and she delivered these 4 kittens at my apartment back in April under my bed. 🙄 Completely ignored her birthing box I made for her.
No matter how many cat beds I have (currently have 3) and no matter how big they get they still pile on top of each other into 1 bed.
A few months ago, we found a young stray cat hiding in our basement. She was scared but eventually trusted us enough to stay. We made her a warm bed, gave her food, and only a few days later she surprised us by giving birth to five tiny kittens. Unfortunately one died shortly after.
At first everything seemed normal. She took great care of them, and we hoped she'd continue raising them. But when the kittens were only six days old, she disappeared and never came back.
That left us with four newborn kittens whose eyes hadn't even opened yet.
We had no experience raising kittens that young, so we quickly learned everything we could. For weeks our lives revolved around bottle feeding every few hours, day and night, keeping them warm, helping them go to the bathroom, weighing them daily, and constantly worrying if they were gaining enough weight.
Somehow, they all made it.
One of them is Rose—the little gray kitten in the photos. She has grown from a tiny, helpless baby who fit in the palm of my hand into an incredibly curious, playful little explorer who now climbs on the couch like she owns the place.
I just wanted to share Rose's journey with people who might appreciate a happy ending. ❤️🐱
If anyone wants to follow Rose's adventures, I recently started an Instagram for her :) you can find link in mine description :)
and somehow she’s pregnant and two weeks from giving birth so I’m acting fast to abort the kittens since she’s only 7 months old.
shes supperrr sweet right now!
Last photo was when I had to wash her in case of fleas and ticks
P.S. ignore her setup, she’s in quarantine from my other animals until she gets spayed and the stitches heal. if you have any tips for her setup please tell me.
When I went to work a few days ago, I found a cat on the side of the road. Then it looked pitiful at the time, and I didn't care. But when I got off work, I saw it was still there. It had been standing still, and then I saw it was pitiful, so I bought it something to eat. Then after eating, it followed me, and I finally brought it home. Then it now knows how to sleep and eat in a day. I keep it, right?
Chevy Silverado(Silver) and Toyota Tacoma (Taco) are enjoying each others company very much! They scamper around the apartment and bap at each other..... I'm so very pleased they are getting along so well!
She was outside my apartment during the sweltering noon hours, so after checking with the neighbors that she wasn't a runaway and bringing her for a checkup, my husband and took her to our village house where she has access to a big garden, and a private little inside area to take shelter from the heat and find some recluse from the local children pestering her lovingly.
She is such a sweet, clingy kitten, and I'm so glad she found me!
My neighbour’s cat has spent the last year popping by multiple times a day and making herself at home. Sadly her owners are moving g overseas and can’t take her with them, so I was first on the list for adoption!
My elderly neighbour will me moving some distance away in a few weeks and won’t be able to take her cat with her. He’s a very elderly little fellow so I think that’s perhaps for the best, although he still has plenty of energy given he must be 16 or so.
He’s always treated both her home and mine as his own (my neighbour also made our cats welcome), so hopefully this will be more like downsizing from two homes to one rather than something too unsettling for him. One reason my wife and I decided not to have any more cats was the pain of losing them and I’m aware that Mr Sąsiad will not be around forever, but I’m so happy that we can give him a comfortable and loving retirement home and save him trying to adjust to a new home and area.
Photos are a recent one of Mr Sąsiad, and him in 2011 hanging out with Mr Rudus, a kitten we found in the snow in our back garden, who unfortunately passed away last year.
