We had three cats, Giblet, Zon-Zon, and Shaelyn. Then a one eyed stray kitten/young cat showed up at our back door. We took him in, payed a lot of money to get him healthy, and his name is Jack.
Then two more kittens/young cats showed up at our back door. We got them healthy and found them a home last month.
Yesterday we found and took in another very young stray, who showed up at our back door. This ones eyes are clouding over and is very possibly pregnant.
There is apparently some sort of invisible cat sign on our house that says "Suckers live here."
Update, according to the vet, the cat is not possibly pregnant, she's suuuuuper pregnant, and will probably have kittens in the next 2-3 weeks.
Anyone want a kitten?
Update update, we put the word out a few days ago on lost pet websites, and her owners just called. Her name is Gypsy, she was born with the eye defects, and is also apparently epileptic, so her owners were suuuuuuper worried about her. She's going home!

I only have one wee kitty (spoiler: he's not very "wee").
Yeah...that's a box for a portable air conditioner. Yes...he's almost as long as that box is tall.
That is Mr. Perry (nicknamed "Mr. Kitty Perry"). Some of his hobbies include:
Going out for walkies and
napping in a box mounted on the top of a bookshelf that's right next to a window.
I took him in back in 2007...in spite of me being allergic to cats. A couple of my friends found him abandoned (he was wedged in the engine block of a display car out front of an auto shop) when he was a few weeks old, but they couldn't keep him due to shared living. When I went to visit my friend, this teeny, floofball kept snuggling with me and constantly purred while nuzzling me. Allergies be damned, I wasn't leaving my friend's place without that kitten. Ten years later, and I can't even imagine what my life would've been like without that little adorable fuzzbutt around.

I got me a trio of cats - Luna, Soup, and Murphy. Their respective mugshots are as follows:

Luna is the sweetest cat ever. Soup is the living embodiment of evil and hatred. Murphy is the coolest pair of cats there ever was.

In related news, I now look like I tried to kill myself thanks to the large scabbed over gouge on my forearm running from wrist to elbow.

Pill? Powder? Liquid?
In any case, mix that in with wet food. Some medicine is strong and cats will shy away from it, but most of them are fine if you mask it in a good wet food tin. Vets will try to upsell you on medicine that is just as effective but tastes like beef or whatever so your cat has an easier time with ingesting it, but I find the cost is too high considering my cats have never had problems with the unflavoured stuff.
Nah, this was the topical stuff that absorbs through their skin. You squeeze it out of a tube on the back of their neck. Easy peasy!
Y'know, once you catch them.
They love snuggles every other time, but the moment you try to hold them for non-snuggle reasons they like to remind you they come equipped with knives.

She's actually named after @S0up. We couldn't figure out what to call her for a week or so. I was surfing the hesher thread in D&D and said "what about Soup?" My wife went for it and the rest is history.

I'm a big fan of pet names that weird people out for reasons they can't really explain
my favorite subcategory of this is Mom Names, which is why if I ever get a kitten their name is going to be something like Debbie or Linda

We got Bramble with that stuff by luring him out from under the bed with a treat, then booping him from above

I like the idea of giving pets human names that are really kind of a bit silly to give to humans in the first place, like calling a male dog 'Chastity' or a hyperactive cat 'Patience'.
This is Simon and River on their 4th birthday. River is inspecting the camera. She likes pets, tuna and kibble. Simon likes being in weird places and sleeping next to my girlfriend.
*SNIP*
Aw. These look like my childhood cat Spod (my parents found her in the roof and called her "Spod from the Planet Fln-n-n-n-n" because they're weirdos).
She definitely had some Siamese in her. She was also deaf.

Here is my sister's cat, Mr. Binx, Esq.
Sometimes they fight, this time they are not.
He's the most lovable ball of fluff ever and we're very proud of him for losing 5 pounds over the last year (since any of these were taken).
that is the best expression my stars

Cats are good.
edit: not enough cat in this post. Here's my old roommate's cat, being weight conscious while creepin' on me in the shower.

I had a moment sort of like this when my 20 month old niece started learning my ferrets' names.
I had to tell my mom "Perhaps we should come up with a nickname for Tucker, just in case she mispronounces..."
