You might remember this guy from u/MegaNymphia’s posts about a month ago. Well, he’s mine now!

This is the most cat-like cat photo I’ve ever taken. Everyone that looks at it is bound to say, yep, that there sure is a cat ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I wanted to thank everyone who encouraged me in my last post. I am officially home with Franklin and he did remember me- he’s stuck to me like glue. It felt even longer than it was. so glad to be back with him!

Snuggled up like a bug in a rug, warm and toasty on pain management, in my spare bathroom. Here’s hoping lil man pulls through. Yoinked his ass up so fast from the side of the road.

I just had to shout out my magic boy… I’ve been chronically ill basically my whole life but a month and a half ago an infection wrecked my lungs and long story short, cognitively and physically I’m not the same because my oxygen isn’t circulating when I’m upright. I can’t remember to take my meds, run my nutrition, I can barely stand up, I was learning to drive and now I can’t think clearly enough to do so. My house is a wreck and I think I’ve lost my job. But I have this baby and he just loves me. Gives me a reason to wake up. I feel like I have a mind that isn’t mind and it’s jarring, it’s hard not to hate myself because my loss of function feels like a moral failing… but Franklin. I am determined to feel better but in the meantime he is quite literally keeping me going. I’m emotional just thinking about where I’d be without him and he doesn’t even know (but I tell him out loud all the time 💙)

My grandmother unfortunately passed recently, and was the owner of a very cute 8yo TIC, Missy, who she loved a whole lot. Missy and I made the 1,400-mile trek back to my home and are starting a new chapter together. It meant a lot to my grandma that Missy would always be cared for, and I’m glad to have her ❤️

We found this kitten walking on the side of the I-10 between Houston and San Antonio. He appears to be about 6 weeks old, and is very calm and cuddly. Any name suggestions?

I just needed to post about my boy Franklin somewhere, and I posted about him here last month when I was still sick from my previous infection (it turns out that infection probably never cleared all the way, which is why I was doing so bad at home and eventually ended up back in the hospital in critical condition).

I’ve been inpatient for 17 days and I have at least 8 more days to go until discharge. I miss my boy SO much. Franklin is doing good at my mom’s house but the hardest part about this admission is being away from him. I was touch and go for about 2 weeks, I was in the ICU with septic shock. Focusing on him kept me going.

Now I’m doing better, just here on a really intense IV antibiotic regimen and still on high flow oxygen, and I’d do anything to have him here with me. When the ambulance came to my house and wheeled me out on a gurney, he tried to follow them. And he’s been crying for me at night at my mom’s house (we’re usually inseparable and he’s never gone a night without sleeping with me since he came home in July, he’s very cuddly).

I’m sorry for the novel, I just needed to vent a little but also share how thankful for him I am! The very best ESA in all the land 🏆 just look at his little face 🥹💙

it’s been stooping me today i saw his mom what breed would you say his mother is I’d say i think she is Calico? this kitten though looks like possibly orange tabby though i can see the resemblance i took the kitten in when i thought the mom abandoned him this is over 3 months later now

My orange loaf ready for deployment. Before anyone asks, yes, his harness is safely secured to the seatbelt buckle! He’s a bit of a nervous traveler, but having him all snug in his tactical vest completely calms him down for car rides.

He takes his co-pilot duties very seriously, even if he spends 90% of the drive napping on the leather.

Things are getting more tactically serious now

He’s 12

He went from fluffy and silver to slick and a beautiful deep grey! ~11 weeks old to just over a year old
