cats

So… Not really a cat owner, but we are fairly friendly with the local animal rescue, in particular when they need help with guinea pigs.

Okay, tell me.

Babies all grown up:

Adopted one week ago. He spent the first couple days hiding under the bed and in various closets but is starting to come out of his shell.

German: Ich bau mir gerade einen Geräteschuppen. Miez hat sich ’n bequemes Plätzchen rausgesucht von dem aus sie mir zuschauen kann.

He watched me organize my horse grooming bag and played on my saddle

We’re fostering mom (the eyes) and her one little kitten (the floof). Mama’s so malnourished that the shelter didn’t realize she was pregnant until they found this one little kitten in her cage one morning.

So, actually a long story

Mama Cat (not Broccoli Cheddar’s mama) has been showing me her babies every time I go to the barn. First time she showed them to me, they were still wet.

I made a short video to show 3 of my cats favorite things that aren’t made for cats. https://youtu.be/6EMHzoJz6aU

She brought it through her door 😭

I was just trying to coax the orange goober (above) onto the bed. He decided to jump over the laundry hamper, the tall one you put dirty clothes in not the short one you dress out of. Anyways, my wife is asleep and when I told her about this in her sleep she told the cat “good boy” so I think she is still asleep.

The black cat is named Ozzy, and he is on a diet so we’re trying to make feeding more social instead of having a bowl for all of them to share. Ozzy is also a good boy, but he doesn’t like to play as much so he’s not in most of the pictures.

Looking for some scratchies..

Here’s a little schematic to understand the layout. Help me figure out this mistery, not only to satisfy my curiosity but also to know if the cats in my street are in any danger.

It’s warm and she’s comfy on the pavement.

This is Raffi’s sister. They are just over a year old.

Great Lakes region, USA. May 2026.

Just found my photos of my last cat, Stine. I loved her so much, and still miss her dearly. Instead of holding her tail up high, she’d curl it up on her back like an elkhound.

Gizmo made friends with Hazel (even though she was a butt):

And I wanted to call him Toothless (he’s got an injured tail)
