edited July 2011
About two weeks ago I found a mother and her six kittens on the other side of my apartment fence, the kittens themselves looked to be about 5-6 weeks old and incredibly adorable.
The mother looked very skinny, and not getting enough food for the kids, so I put out a small bowl of cat food that I borrowed from a neighbor and a small saucer of milk, which I later found out isnt that great for them anyway.
The mother cat never came over, but one of the kittens bravely did, and it was "ZOMG Dawwww" at first sight. I honestly wish I could have taken all of them plus the mom home, but I managed to give one lucky kitten a loving home and a full belly.
So yeah, this is Lucy
spoiled for huge.
The funny thing is, I am allergic to cats, I never was a cat person, and the one my partner had before I started living with him really turned me off even more with cats.
But for some reason, this little furball is amazingly awesome and I love her to pieces, I just hope she keeps her awesome loving nature even after she gets fixed, and hopefully she calms a little bit down.
She'll definitely mellow out as she gets used to her living situation. She's pretty young so she's not too stuck in her ways to adapt. If she were more like six months, you'd probably have a LOT more trouble, but at her age she'll get along just fine. She just needs time.
I wish we could have kept Panda, but the apartment we were living in at the time had strict no-pet rules.
Also I have allergies, but I suppose I could have been willing to tough it out.
I'm sure he's made someone pretty happy though, cute kitten that he is.

She is pretty used to the place now, and has her "spots" now as well. Its really hilarious to watch a little tiny kitten kick an overweight dog out of the bed, or the couch because the dog is in her new spot. I love the whole dick-ness she brings.
Right now, she is hyper as all hell, but I cant really complain at all since she is a kitten and has all of the energy, so we let her run around the house as much as she can without breaking things, getting into places she is not supposed to, (behind the fridge, in the fake fireplace, etc). She has plenty of toys to keep her busy, and fat chihuahua to beat up on, and plenty of places to freely run.
Oh, she is already getting accustomed to a water bottle, which is kind of irritating a bit, so I got a plastic Snapple bottle, and filled it with pennies, whenever she does something bad, I shake it right by her, scares the everliving shit out her, but she knows now not to do whatever it is she did.
This is our new bunny. She's a six-week-old dwarf rex rabbit named Sooty. We've also taken to calling her RICK JHAMES because she keeps jumping on top of the guinea pig, stealing her food, and generally being awful even though the guinea pig is bigger and has been here longer.
The only reason we let her get away with it is because she's so damn cute.
Seriously, look at that face!

Raneadospolice apologistyou shouldn't have been there, obviouslyRegistered Userregular
don't tell my mom but part of the reason I'm moving is so that I can go home at lunch and play with the dog I'll be getting
but that's apparently not something "adults do" and isn't a good reason among others to move but shh she don't have to know
My sister rescued a Norwegian Forest cat today. He was miserable, stinky, and FAT! SO FAT! He's the fattest cat I've ever seen in real life. He waddles when he walks and his stomach scrapes the ground.
We cut off almost all his fur (we left a sort of rough lion cut on him) because it was so matted with flea poop and his own poop that he was miserable and overheating. He just sat there purring for HOURS as we groomed him.

We're trying to figure out a name for him.
I already love him. He's a fat tub of lard.
You can't tell from these shit iPhone photos (sorry), but he is fat.
His ear is crumpled from an aural hematoma caused by shaking his head (because he's too fat to clean his ears).
How could you say no to this face?
Srsly, name suggestions welcome. All suggestions will be considered (except suggestions from Pip)
Look at him! He looks like a stuffed animal. I have no name suggestions, except for Archibald, which is my default name suggestion for a cat. Leo, maybe, 'cause you gave him a lion cut?

Even more hilarious once we make him lose a bunch of weight.

Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
He also has a little depressing satchel where his nuts used to be.
It's like that flap of elbow skin we all have

Here's another, more recent shot. Her name is Eevee:

Even if it is apparently a jerk
I think that's an amazing reason, Rane!

I bought a can of spot shot to clean up before she gets back tomorrow, IT TOOK THE ENTIRE CAN!

Not until we get a house, though.

Also, it's not just pretty, it's exceptionally loyal and originally bred to hunt lions.
