My brother's cat jasper got out a few months ago. We're all sure he's passed away, I still have hope he's out there or someone took him in (which in a way pisses me off but also brings some relief. It upsets me because we have missing posters set up around my brother's area) anyways I adored this cat, 11 years with an animal is difficult when it comes to a screeching halt. My brother wanted to cremate him when he died, and it crushes me that he'll never get that chance. My brother even though he's older hasn't gone through the real pain of losing a best friend like that, the very few animals he's had, had been given away or we're strays to begin with. Now not at all is it competition on whose hurt is worse but I'm crushed, I have lost pets. In my arms, on my watch and without being able to do crap about it, anyways here's some pictures of our grumpy old sweet man

That fluffy tail and those green eyes did all the talking. I painted a solid background and cleared out everything else, so all the focus stays on her. Those tabby stripes running down her back took some patience to get right; every line had to sit just so. This was a commission painting, and I hope I did her justice.

We adopted them about a month and a half ago. Both boys from the same litter that was being fostered by a friend. Just wanted to share the cuteness.

my cats are DLH tabby cats, though i am trying to figure out what ’type’ of tabby they are.

She's only about 5 months old and will chase around a toy mouse for HOURS on end

This is Chester, who, with his brother Poe, handles all the rodents in and around the barn, including nearby pastures. They regularly catch the usual mice and moles, but from time to time, a gopher (they are very big) and an occasional ground squirrel (and they are fierce). The boys are very good at their job. We lock them up in a giant cage at night to protect them from coyotes, which are abundant. They are around 10 years old, IIRC.

We went to the Vet for the biopsia results. I’m going to continue on Spanish. Pensando que la pancreatitis era terrible hasta que llegaron los resultados, nuestro pequeño Ghibli tiene cancer linfático y metástasis. Fuimos con los resultados a otro veterinario especializado en oncología. Nos ha dicho que no está con dolor, ha recuperado peso. Hay que iniciar con quimioterapia asap (empezamos el viernes pasado). Mientras asimilábamos esta noticia, tuvimos que llevar a Hanzo a emergencias por una oclusión intestinal. Estamos tristes. Disfrutándolo cada día. Dándole su medicina y la quimio 3 veces a la semana. Seguimos viendo que vamos a hacer y cómo va a ser su cruce del arcoíris 🌈 . Nos han dicho que tenemos aproximadamente un año más con Ghibli debido a la metástasis. Hanzo salió muy bien de su cirugía se está recuperando. Ghibli no ha vuelto a vomitar. Su apetito ha aumentado. Vivo al borde del llanto, la idea de tener tiempo limitado con Ghibli es compleja, estamos conscientes que al menos tenemos eso. No ha sido repentino. Pero el dolor está ahí. Ghibli te amamos tanto.

And is on a diet but still a healthy cat per his vet.

I've taken is this sweet little boy from a family member who was unable to look after him. He's under a year and very sweet. I'm thinking Kenny but I feel thats quite an orange name lol

Isn’t he handsome by the way

Resting between Zoomies

I wanted to show off the circle pattern on her sides:3. She’s still growing her fur back from her side-spay at the shelter, but she’s very brave and doesn’t scratch her scar.
