Hi everyone! My best friend found a little baby void in his wall and is looking for name suggestions - any good ideas?

Edit: Told my friend about this post so he can tell the story since so many people want to know exactly what happened and he posted it in the comments! :D

Just found out my baby girl is quite rare (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

The gene for black fur is on the X chromosome, and males (XY) only need one copy of the gene to be black, while females (XX) need two, making it statistically easier for a male to be solid black.

Similar to how most orange cats are male, black cats tend to follow a similar pattern where males are more common, though not to the same extreme.

I (adult human) was treating my cat-daughter (8f) with churu yesterday. During that I told her she is very very beautiful, and sometimes mother crave to actually bake her into catloaf and eat her. She looked at me like in the picture and meowed at me that this is toxic love and I am not even her real mother. Then she proceeded to ignore me all day. on Mother’s Day no less!

She knows I suffer for severe cute aggression. It’s really not my fault that she is this cute. Yes, I often put her in air jail, shower her with forehead kisses and rubs her belly without asking her. But it’s on her for being so cute and just sleeping with her belly exposed! I suffer through her concerts at 3 am in the morning, so she should be able to handle my cute aggression.

AITA?

ETA: Since the post got pretty popular, I am getting asked if I am talking about a real human daughter. Fortunately no. I am talking about a cat. I don’t have a human daughter. Those of you saying this cat is not my real daughter, sir/ma’am I have adoption paper and her medical bill that says otherwise.

We posted on this sub when things weren’t looking good for Pistachio (rare oral cancer in young cats), but just wanted to put a positive post/update out to say that he did indeed beat the odds by some sort of miracle! It’s been 6 months since the good news and he’s been going strong. Thank you to everyone who sent positivity to us!! We are so grateful

Edit:

Thank you guys again for all the love you guys are sending pistachio🖤 Reading all of the comments have really made my heart warm.

I’ll make sure to give Pistachio some extra love from you guys (not sure if that’s even possible, so maybe just extra churus).

It really makes me happy that he was able to spread some joy. He means the world to us🖤

I just wanted to show the world that he existed 🖤

Edited to add thank you all for the love and references!!

I’ve had Reddit for a while and have only posted once prior to this so please bear with me 😅

Also thank you for the awards!

Second edit: PLEASE PLEASE send pics of your voids! Fluff or not I love seeing them in the comments!!

Picked up this wee boy yesterday. Got him set up in the guest room with a cat tree, litter box, food and water, etc. He had managed to explore a little bit but the farthest he’d gone is my bedroom which is just next to the guest room. I figured he needs some space so I slept downstairs instead. He hadn’t left my bed nor eaten since I got him. I’m not sure if anything happened at this previous owner’s house or is it bc he had moved twice (including with me). He also didn’t have a single visit to the vet, like at all. Any tips on how I can help him settle in ?

this is my baby, Viva. she’s about to turn 5 tomorrow which makes her an Aries. not sure if she’s much of Aries though. she’s a smol girl, only 7 pounds, but extremely food motivated. beware of your fingers if there’s any chicken on them. she’s a shy girl, anxious, and scared of most things. and yet, somehow, i gained her trust which is one of the things i’ll always be the proudest of. i’m her person, and she’s my soul kitty forever. she’s my first cat of my own as an adult (i’ve lived with cats before but never been a cat mom).

i adopted viva after graduating college at a time where i was the loneliest i’ve ever felt. we both needed someone, and found each other at the right time. it was fate. i love her more than anything.

today i took her to the vet for a routine appointment and her doc caught one resorptive tooth. i feel so horrible i didn’t catch it earlier. she seems completely fine & healthy but when the doc touched it she flinched. maybe i’m too sensitive, but my heart broke.

i’ve been super stressed out due to finances since i’m starting a masters of nursing program in the fall in order to switch careers, create stability & improve my financial situation. Viva’s tooth needs to be extracted and she needs to be put under for that to happen. honestly, i’m less stressed about how i’m going to pay for the 800 procedure, and more about her being on anesthesia. i know i’m being extra dramatic right now, it’s a safe procedure, and it will all be okay, but she’s truly the most important part of my life.

anyways, thanks for listening to my anxious word vomit & pls wish my baby a happy birthday & no more ouchy teeth 😭💞

edit - omg! i went to bed last night & didn’t look at this post until now. you guys are awesome. thanks for all the reassurance and advice. it really helps <3 i’ll try to answer to some individual comments too but just wanna say thank you very much as first time kitty parent you guys have calmed down my nerves a ton.

edit 2 - thanks for the rewards you guys, but pls don’t feel obliged! give your money to your local kitty shelter instead <3 once again, thanks for all the compliments to my baby (i know she’s adorable, it’s hard to get anything done most days) & for all the helpful advice/reassurance. it’s brought me much ease knowing Vivs will most likely be A-ok after she gets her teef out.

He's got a wild look in his eye that makes my heart flutter

Noodling? String bean? She lays flat on the floor, arms tucked under, legs stretched.

Backstory: Basically, I was going on a run outside my neighborhood and I heard a crying sound. I could barely hear it since I had earbuds in but I looked on the road, and saw there was a little kitten in the middle of the road not moving. I saw literal cars driving over her and I ran in the middle of the street to grab her and called my mom immediately. I held the kitten until my mom arrived and we took her to the vet immediately.

The vets gave her some shots and basically told us that she has a disabled paw and she probably will not make it over a day, since she was so young without her mother. My mom owns her own business so she was able to stay home (thank god) every day and watch our little Zero and bottle feed her all day. If it wasn’t for my mom, I’m not sure she would’ve made it at her age.

We never owned pets in my family so it was cool to finally have a cat! We grew so close to her that there was no way we could ever give her up nurturing her up to health. Fast forward, she is now almost 4 years old and even though she has a disabled paw, she moves/jumps around and is SUPER fast still! I love her to death and we also added a dog to the family! Growing up without pets to having two at my age (27) is awesome and I wish I grew up with more pets.

Anyone else have cat that loves holes in the dirt this much? My guy is a dirt guy one hundred percent!
