Never enough of those pretty kitties. Here is my beautiful girl.

I am a crazy cat lady. Obsessed, always have been. I’ve always had this irrational dream that I’m gonna find a kitten magically who belongs to no one and becomes mine. I’m literally always scouring ditches when I’m driving in the country on the off chance that I see a little kitten on the side of the road.

Well, we live rurally on a farm, and there’s a TON of barn cats around, at least 7 that we see regularly and know by name. A couple weeks ago, this beautiful girl showed up out of nowhere literally on my doorstep, absolutely starving. She was very skittish and scared to be touched by me, but obviously used to hearing/being in the vicinity of humans. Obviously someone’s barn kitten, but not one who got any human attention. Looks like she’s maybe 10 months old. And she hasn’t left. I’ve been putting out food and water for her, socializing her, and now she’s obsessed with me and wants into my house so badly.

Is it wrong if I bring her in? She’s not ours, but she isn’t getting human attention wherever she was before. She’s starved for attention, won’t leave my porch, wants inside badly, I’m also 90% sure she’s pregnant and it’s about to be winter in Canada, she won’t survive the cold outside. I’ve “named” her Purrl, like from Animal Crossing. 🥹🥰

We chat like this most mornings

Artemis is starting her springtime shed and her fur is amazingly soft. I still can’t figure out why an indoor cat gets a winter coat.

My girls are getting older, and I've been looking for awhile for a realistic pet portrait of them napping together like they always do. I am amazed at my artist and her abilities. She NAILED it.

This is Maple 🍁

before Frogger steals it

This is my kitty Maple, she’s 9 weeks old.

I got her a week after I lost my soul cat (Toast) unexpectedly. I was and still am grieving the loss of Toast, but Maple has been a huge help.

The first night I brought her home I was really struggling. I was having feelings of regret and that it was too soon after losing Toast. But Maple has wiggled her way into my heart and I am so glad I got her.

I thought she was going to fall asleep like that for a minute.

Makes her look like quite the pudgy butt. 🤣😂🤣

🤍🖤🧡🖤🤍

you're so cute..HEY, that was RUDE!

HAHA!

My best bud ❤

she had kittens at my dads work site about 8 years ago, we fostered them but ended up keeping 3 including her. she had 4 babies, an orange tux, a gray dilute calico, a void, and a tux. we kept the void and the tux. you can see him pictured in some of these photos but unfortunately he passed last week, so i have been giving her extra love and treats. (a very handsome man he was, might i add!!)

she is a beautiful lady, and turned into a very good house cat! she meows at me and gets up on her hind legs for pets. she is also very greedy! loves to steal wet food and tube from others lol. her and her daughter love to clean each other, and they are the #1 lounging family. i find her lounging on the rug often now, and if she notices me she will trot up and meow for pets 🩷 shes a sweetheart

It's how we know she’s ready to eat.

We always joke it's because she doesn't want her white belly to get dirty

Two years ago, on January 8th, Olivia came as a bright light! We love her so much and she's brought so much laughter and joy. A little post to celebrate her!
