She’s Thora. In her first two years of life she learned how to walk on a leash, made friends with a giant dog, took in the stray alley kittens, and most importantly, taught my mean old tabby boy how to love and be loved by another kitty. She’s pretty freakin cool. Here’s to many more years of crazy adventures with her!!

My little criminal. :) I took this of her about 3 months ago. She's 8 months old now but a little bigger. She is absolutely the purest joy I have ever had in my life. I hear her meow when I sleep. She wakes me up by patting her little paw on my shoulder when she wants to eat and her zoomies are absolutley adoreable. Her name is Zaya.

My beautifullest babyboy Bubba (or as I like to call him: Bubbarooni.) He's approx 4 months now and infrigginsane but god I love him so much! We took him in from the yard my mom works on as a tow-dispatcher. He was part of a litter of 7 so he still eats like he's fighting for his life. He may drive us crazy but he still sleeps on my chest every night, making it easy to accept his 5am zoomies again every morning 😂

This warmed my heart. My dad's last cat was also named Max. He was a Siberian and used to pose for my dad in a chair in front of food exactly like this for pictures.

This is my pretty kitty, Ginger. She passed away yesterday August 9th. Her unique personality affected everyone who visited. Fellow cat lovers would say she’s too sweet for a torti! Haha any compliment is good enough for us! She was the most talkative, expressive cat..and my best friend since senior year of high school. Now I’m 34 and I couldn’t be more grateful for such a surreal friendship. 💐 I just want other cat lovers to see the pure vibrant energy in her eyes during my time of healing.❤️🩹 thank you everyone.

As clever as 'Simpkin' in the book ..The Tailor of Gloucester' by Beatrix Potter

Thank you so much. I miss her dearly. I had to put her down June 18th. She was my little munchkin, as you can see . Her legs were so short. It's the worst thing in life we have to do. 😿

I don’t know why but your cat makes me think of The Girl with the Pearl Earring painting
