Fur-baby Sophia

[CandieM]

Hi everyone. I'm new.

My mother and I saved a stray kitten after it fell from underneath the back wheel of the car. She healed up nicely and has plenty of energy and eats and plays like a normal kitten. So grateful to now have a cat of my own. She's a blessing to have in my life.

Thanks fur reading.

Sorry for the double-post!!

I'm still feeling a little awkward due to my double-post. I really love the idea of people coming together over the love of their cats. Thank you all for the warm welcomes. I can't wait to have more fur-babies in the future!!!

There are a handful of stray cats in my neighborhood. I feed them cat food because I care about stray animals in general, but I specifically love cats. A neighbor that is very close to my parents had a cat that loved being around me. He was hit with a car and killed. The strays in the neighborhood are likely his offspring because he wasn't fixed. It only now occurred to me that this is why I enjoy caring for these strays so much; Tom-Tom (that was his name) is gone and this is the only way I can have some sort of connection with him.

I never had my own cats before, but I have helped raised several kittens. To have my own kitten is a major blessing. Life isn't as fulfilling without someone or something to love.

OH PLEASE DON'T! It happens all the time here...just laugh, say "OOPS!" and go on about your day. I've double posted more often that I want to think about!

BUT...Welcome to you and Sophia!

Yay! Warm-fuzzies all around.

Keeping my pet indoors makes the most sense to me. Whether or not Tom-Tom was actually a stray that these neighbors fed and cared for, but didn't bother to keep in the house, I don't know. The best part about cats is that they are easily taught to urinating and defecating in a box. That's harder for dogs and there have been some close calls where our dogs ran off and away from the house. My parents are dog-people, but the past 5 years have taught me that I am actually a cat person. Cats are also very beautiful. I've always called them the supermodels of the animal kingdom.

KarenKat , your tortie is so beautiful! I love her face!

Maybe in the future I will even feel like making videos of her and make some memories.

*lol*, Sophia untied one of my shoes while I was sitting at my PC desk.

It's rather hard to take photos of cats, it seems. They move around quite a lot. One day I'd love to learn how to take better photos of animals because cats ─ most animals are, I reckon ─ are very photogenic.

Enjoy.

awwww...she's adorable! Thanks for persisting and sharing this photo of her.

My neighbor and I used to cat-sit for each other. She always sent me cute pics of my (senior, very sedentary) cat Gwen when we were away, and it was great to know she was doing OK. When I sat for her (much younger, ball of energy) cat, I tried to do the same and wound up with multiple blurry pics of his tail as he ran away from the camera.
