And I found these two outside my apartment. I took them in and while they're a handful, I wouldn't have it any other way. Say hi to Rainer and Fuji.

Rescued Otis from the back of a tire/wheel shop! He was covered in flees but is now all cleaned up and beautiful as ever. Such a sweet boy that started off very spicy!! He'll be joining two black cat sisters when he's done with his quarantine :)
Love him so so much already and excited to see what little personality he grows up into!
Any fun facts about boy tabbys?

Brothers Max and Otis.

Otis has the classic tabby pattern. And Max has either spotted or mackerel pattern, im not sure.
Do someone know which pattern Max has?

She has accepted that being picked up means she turns into a noodle. I think it is a sign of trust.

I’m wondering what color this tabby kitten would be called. I’m interested in what he would look like grown up.

This was my first cat that was actually mine. Not a family cat. Mine. She ran outside and got hit by a car. I will never see her again. No goodbye. I’m looking for advice on how to grieve. She wass only 2.

I would like to share Noodle. He passed away yesterday and I need to get my feelings out of my head.

I left a huge part of my heart in Chicago yesterday. When I originally wrote this, I was alone and bawling at the Illinois Belvedere Travel Oasis. I didn't care who saw it. I am human.

​Honestly, I was just so happy to see my friend Noodle one last time. I picked him up and gave him a hug, and he gave me one last kiss/nuzzle on the hand. It's solid proof that no matter where your path takes you in life, pets keep you in their hearts, too.

​The truth is, he’s been living in Chicago for the last few years with my sister. He was my sister's cat, but I lived with him for many years and raised him too. She just ended up moving to Chicago for her job, whereas I decided to stay in Wisconsin.

It had been a few months since I last saw Noodle, but it was like we just picked right back up and started where we left off—like no time had passed at all.

​I’ll be honest, I didn't think about it at the time, but I'm so glad I got to show him a calm and happy me. When I saw him, I didn't feel sad, I felt happy to see my little friend. I loved him so much.

Now I have that beautiful last memory, and I am so grateful that my sadness didn't affect him in any way. He won't remember a crying me; he'll remember me as his friend who was so happy to see him. Because... I was..

​But now, I can not hide my pain and my grief. My friend is gone... he's really gone. I wrote a letter to him so that he'd always have a piece of me with him no matter where he goes. It has been buried with him in his shroud.

I realized it's not stupid at all to write a card to a cat. I never saw him as just a cat.. He was my friend. And like any friend, I feel the need to share his memory with the world.

​Oh, Noodle Toes, thank you so much for loving me. I had a cheese pizza slice in honor of you yesterday. I remember how you and I used to share cheese when you were younger. You always had to have a bite of whatever I was eating, but you loved it when I had cheese pizza.

Honestly, I'm really proud of myself. I'm glad I made that journey. It was a 300-mile journey round trip, but I didn't matter to me. No amount of physical distance would ever outweigh my love for this cat.

In loving memory Noodle. 2008 to 2026.

Yeah, excuse the background, I didn't want to show my actual house for privacy reasons. But that's his mom and him. The background is set off of a real picture of them. His mom passed away back in 2019.

Is little Twig a tabby cat?

Twig is the third cat I’ve ever owned and I got him when he was barely two weeks old, so I wanted to wait a bit for all of his coat and color to show. I have no idea what his parents looked like, or if they were even domesticated, but he does some uh, interesting behavior that a lot of people attribute to the coat. He just got his big snip Thursday so I figured now was the time to actually figure it out. Is he a tabby? If so, what kind of tabby?

2 weeks ago Ghibli started vomiting the vet came to our home, gave him a shot and we thought he was going to be ok. But no. We took him to ER, he wouldn’t eat, they put a gastric tube on his nose. After 2 days we brought Ghibli back home, if he was going to die we wanted him to be at home and loved. He came home and started to eat, the diagnostic was pancreatitis. New diet, gaining weight every day, the medication at 3am. We love you! Our little warrior!!!
