My parents are rescuers and over the last 7 years they've accumulated quite a motley crew of felines. The unadoptables and the un-let-goables. Here are a "few": Stanley. This was taken by sticking my camera INSIDE of my LL Bean tote after I noticed an orange plume sticking out. Richard (or Ringo more commonly). My dad took this one of Ringo with his tail in an "interesting" place. Oh dad (Ringo and Stan are siblings) This is my precious, wonderful Penelope. A rescue with epilepsy. She had to be put down this past May at 9 years old because, ironically, the meds for her seizures destroyed her kidneys. I am still devastated by her loss. She was one of a kind Calvin. In the laundry. This is one of the world's sweetest cats. He came in our door a little cotton ball of a kitten who didn't have good chances. He made it (along with his brother, Hobbes) and is the sweetest man. Albert. A face only a mother could love! Which is why we kept him. My mom turned around halfway to the shelter after he went "mew" at her. He's a huge fellow, but so sweet. Frederick. A black tom no one wanted. Their loss. OK not mine. But this hamcat is Rocky, my boyfriend's cat. He sadly left us a few months ago. But he was a cute pudger. Katie and Sebastian, our fluffy, defiant manxes. (I can't find bigger) My Henry as a kitten. He and his sister Tabitha make up # 3 and 4 of our manx collection. My parents have a load more, but I should quit while I am (maybe) ahead. Bonus Albert! (Waffle won't load, sorry)

In my family, it is a travesty to give a cat a non-human name. My bf just adopted a kitten who was already named Dooley. We are letting him keep that name, though, because it just so happens to be the name of our alma mater's head football coach.

Oh I am in love with George. That handsome little man. I black cats soooo much. We have a little gentleman named Frederick who is just a lovely little fellow. Is George a serious kitty most of the time? Fred is such a serious man. But sometimes we catch him being silly. This is Fred being very serious.

Purple_slug posted:Charlie and Barney and Just to echo others, you are so good for taking in kitties who need you. As I am sure others have and will testify to, pets you save are almost always the best pets. My parents do rescue and all of our best cats and dogs have been dumpster and street rescues. You have no idea how much I want to pet and hug those guyzos. And that poor pregnant kitty. She's about to pop. I hope they come soon!!!

Druggachusettes posted:Best one yet. /\ Wanna hug dat orange cat Reminds me of when I came to visit my folks once for spring break and had to fix all the edits on a poster I was going to present the following week at a conference. I had the marked up print spread on the kitchen floor. This thing was big, like 3'x4'. But my cat Penny was not to be intimidated. She got square in the middle, on her tummy, and proceeded to stttrreeeeetttcchhhh out as much as she could over that poster.

Meow Meow Meow posted:I just brought this little purr-monster home from the shelter on Wednesday, he's the cutest. His name is Nugz. You can just tell they are so happy to have a home. My boyfriend got a shelter kitten back in November. He was just dropping off a donation and hadn't planned on adopting (his kitty had passed away a few months prior) but this kitten's name was Dooley and since that is the name of our alma mater's head football coach, he took it as a sign and took him home. Dooley has not let a single moment pass without showing his extreme gratitude for finally having a home. This is the only pic I have right now. This is right when he came home. My bf is horrible about taking pictures. So this was right before this past Thanksgiving so he's a lot bigger now, but still oh so cute and soooooo sweet. edit: drat image attachments

My parents have a true calico and a tortie both with stubby kitty tails. They're soooo cute Is Rowan a total sweetheart? Every calico I've met is a total sweetie pie.

Yep. That sums up my parents' calicos, except they do no mind being picked up. When I was at home a while back my bf stopped by and the true calico forced me off the couch so she could cuddle with him. Never got on his lap, but practically entwined herself on his arm! The tortie will chase you around the house for lovin'.

My Charlotte got carried away in her game of "Swat Mommy through the Shower Curtain" and fell right in. She's not usually uncool with water, but she was taken aback by that. And I think she was just embarrassed she fell in.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:If this cat isn't named Harvey, there's something wrong with the owners. The chances of that being a male cat are slim. However, a female cat named Harvey is kinda cute. Kinda like the PI regular who named his little girl Ed. And you'd almost have to for the Batman points anyhow.

I was down for a long time when my Penelope died, especially since it was unexpected. Don't let anyone tell you to not grieve. I had people try to tell me "oh it was just a cat". Eff them.
