So, I've always considered myself more of a dog person, but i truly love ALL ANIMALS. I have 3 dogs of my own but recently 2 outdoor neighborhood cats adopted myself & my partner. Thumbs came first... he's a polydactyl kitty and the cutest, friendliest, sweetest cat I've ever v met. He honestly reminds me more of a dog, his personality. So when he came along, his bootie was shaved down, ear clipped and we figured maybe he was TNR by animal control. That's where they take in a "stray", tag, neuter and vaccinate them & then release them. About a week after he showed up, he had a friend/ sister/ girlfriend that looked just like him, but skinnier, who followed and is now also part of our crew. Again, they are outdoor kitties but we do feed/ water them (we live in the desert, it's extremely HOT). So they come and go as they please. Well, long story even longer, the girl kitty, Bella, showed up pregnant & now looks like she's about ready to pop. Because of the extreme heat and area where we live, I've decided to bring her indoors at night and let her come & go throughout the day. Here's my question though, I keep her inside my bathroom at night because I'm afraid of her giving birth outside, we live in an apartment complex and I don't trust the kids around here to not bother her or her kittens when she pops. I don't want her to have to drag the kittens to my place & I'd rather her be in a safe environment. But..... I don't know a thing about cats giving birth. Are there any experts out there or even just people with real life experience that can give me any tips or instructions to make sure she's comfortable and healthy throughout the process? Things happen & I know i could never be 100% ready for this, but these are little kitten lives that I feel responsible for too, now & I want it to be a welcoming experience for them all. 😻 Any advice or tips are very much appreciated. Thank you all.

Basically I moved to a new area and this lovely cat that I later named muffin started visiting. She had horrible fleas and was skittish. After about a month of living here i de-flead her bc I realised the owners weren’t doing it. Ever since then she spends so much time here. She sleeps on my bed, she hangs out with me all weekend, and overall spends most of her time here. And now she responds to muff / muffin. Like in practice she is my cat.

I’ve had a really rough year and she has honestly kept me sane and hopeful for life. Like if there is a god, god sent me muffin.

I have to move house in two months and I’m DEVASTATED. I think I know the owners of her, but I’m not positive. Is it morally okay to go ask if I can take their cat. Or is that like…. not okay. I’m also planing to move countries soon, meaning I would have to put her in the cargo of the plane. There’s no quarantine but that still feels so so so evil to do to a poor cat (the rules are very chill between the two countries).

I fear I know the answer… I can’t take the cat. But she loves me and I LOVE HER. And imagining her thinking that I abandoned her breaks my heart. Like I cry regularly thinking about it.

I just joined the group because I have 2 orange cats that come visit me for hours upon hours a day when goes home to sleep. Is this an orange cat kind of thing??? Lolol

This is the second litter we have helped Vida deliver. We also helped Alicia deliver her first litter. At least this time the delivery wasn't in our bed in the middle of the night!

Oh, Keeshy.

I'm not a cat person and I know zero about cats.

For the last few months that I've been living with my girlfriend, the neighbours cat shows up everyday without fail. At first he would just show up in the backyard whenever I went out but he's been progressively getting more comfortable around here. My girlfriend (who loves cats) gets excited and has even started buying him treats and expensive food.

The funny part is that since I work from home, I'm the one always feeding him and looking after it and chilling with him all day. If I'm being honest I started even developing a bond with the cat (named him Neo from the Matrix). I thought I was allergic to cats from previous experiences but this guy poses no issues.

Now this past week he's been getting more attached and started sleeping here. Sometimes he jumps in our bed and my girlfriend hates that, and he wakes her up to let him out. He's never pissed or 💩 in the house which I'm grateful for. But I've now noticed a bunch of 💩 on our roof where he come's in from our upstairs window.

Our neighbours are loud Romanians (gotta love em) and the wife yells so much we hear it from our house daily. The also have 2 dogs which they keep outside that bark constantly. It's a shitshow there.

I'm now wondering what to do?? I kinda like this guy and I feel awful kicking him out at 4AM sometimes cause it's winter here in London. Me and my girlfriend don't want to take the cat in as at first the arrangement was cool he just showed up from time to time and gave her a little dopamine hit. Now it's constant. Also at night whenever I have tea the cat loses its sh!t and becomes obsessed with me and never wants to leave.

What do we do?

This might be a long story so TLDR: neighbour is scared of other neighbours Cat and chases her around the block. Also she called the animal shelter to pick the cat up, but luckily checked that it wasn't hers.

Some time ago I posted about the same cat as she was hurt coming to my place. She is fine and got taken care of at the vet! Thanks for all of your kind replies!

But with this evening the weirdest story I ever heard started taking place at our house. So I thought I'd share it.

There is a cat coming to my place the past ~6 months and we are good friends now. One evening there was a note on the front door (large house ~30 people) saying: "lost cat please call if found and don't feed it" (ive never gave her food so i think she just likes my place) with a picture of the cat and a phone number. The same evening the cat was hanging around at my place again so I called the number and told the cat was at my place. The "owner" came by my door some minutes later and told me she would pick up the cat to take her to the animal shelter because she is scared of her. I thought that was very strange because the cat is the most polite and chill cat i have ever encountered so I it felt a bit odd. I asked her if she got some verification that it's her cat and she said it doesn't matter she will call the shelter now. Then the neighbour above me (an old lady) looked down the balcony and told me the women at my door is not the owner because she knows the real owner. At this point I was totally confused and the old lady and me went to the real owner.

She could verify it was her cat due to vet certifications. And she was as confused as me. She also didn't noticed the notes at the front door. She said that the other neighbour (i called earlier) often complained about the cat because she is scared of cats in general. We went back to the weird neighbour and asked her about it. She confessed that she hung up the note because she wants to get rid of the cat and take her to the animal shelter. We told her that this is totally not okay but she said her needs are more important than the cats and it's her right to not have a cat around. (which in Germany its totally not...)

Since then I often see her running around the house chasing the cat and screaming at it. It's super sad because the cat is extremely scared of the neighbour.

The owner is completely fine with the cat being at my place, I could even feed it. But we don't know how to handle the neighbour terrorising the cat. I understand that maybe it's hard to life in an area with free roaming cats if you are scared of them. But there are at least 7 cats in the area... so it's not an option to move them. Also we are a bit scared of what the neighbour might be capable of doing after the fake "cat missing" note...

The one sitting in the house counts by everyday. The sitting in front of the house shows up randomly. First time I was and to get both in the same picture in a similar pose.

Kitties what do I do? Never owned a cat before
