gonna need a toe floof measurement of aphra

Not much toe floof, but she has some ear floofs

Also she has big ol feets so I think she's gonna be a big kitty



She can't meow but she's super chatty, it just comes out like a whispered "maaahhh"

is that bad

I'm just hoping everything goes well, I'm super nervous because this is the first time I've had a cat all by myself. Spay/vaccine/checkup is next Thursday.

She's already decided I'm her person. Excellent yoscatte too; every time I leave my room, when I come back she's sitting in my computer chair.

Jezebel :3:

You gave her a good life full of love and adventure, and a painless death surrounded by her family. We should all be so fortunate.

I miss my ex's cat Steve more than I miss my ex. She told me he loved me like nobody else except her. I was his dude. That stinky, diabetic little weirdo was missing half his teefies and gave me smelly love bites on my nose and always came up to say hi when I walked in the door. The best thing about Steve was that after he ate, he'd walk around the house talking up a storm, like he had to tell everyone how delicious his dinner was.

cats are weird and I love them

congrats on getting the multi-pack!

(take her by a vet, who not only will be able to tell you for sure but will be able to point you toward organizations that will help place kitties if she is. if money is an issue there are likely reduced cost spay and neuter orgs in your area who would be ok with you bringing her by and pleading ignorance as to whether she's fixed or pregnant)

I am already scheduled for next Thursday at a low cost spay/neuter program

Well... In my experience working with cat colonies, if the mother wasn't very far along, the vets with whom we worked would abort the kittens and do the spay. Can you call and ask what process they have in the event of a pregnancy?

I have been trying to get them on the phone for half an hour

E: got them on the phone, rescheduled for tomorrow.

I am enjoying witnessing Aphra's journey into domestic life.

Me too except the little brat bit me

I mean immediately after she started purring and headbutting me like she was trying to apologize and I'm pretty sure I just grabbed her in a way that scared her

She will just have to adjust I think. Lots of petting and treats.

I free feed dry with a gravity feeder and give her a third-ish of a can of wet food for breakfast, and she just nibbles on the dry food when she's hungry during the day. So far no sign of food scarcity/overeating type behaviors like you see in strays sometimes.

Filtered gravity water dish thing too, it's great.

The idea is to avoid contributing to the stray cat problem because they wreak havoc on local fauna, but there's no good solution as long as we live in a society bottom text where a significant number of people treat pets as disposable possessions they can just toss out on the loving streets when they're no longer convenient to care for.

poo poo makes me mad.



somebody abandoned this floofy little baby
