Thank you for your service Michael, my older brother, 10 years older than me was in the middle of the TET Offensive. Cats are amazing creatures, they provide comfort, laughter, compassion and so many other things that we humans need.

[@bonnyjeanaustin8801]

I agree after Vietnam my father was always comforted by animals. I was always allowed to rescue any number of animals. One time we had 5 dogs and 13 cats.😆 When my father passed at the VA I ended up rescuing a small dog. I gave it to my Uncle to help him overcome my father's death. Animals really are soothing to us because they are pack animals. War is horrible and it scars the soul deeply. I'm really glad you are the old cat guy.

You are so right, there are so many animals that have small health issue and people adopting leave them. They can be the best loves if you give them a chance. I believe they know the people that do take them in loves them, compared to th3 people that pass them by.

[@candace3124]

Forgot to add that one of my customers (I called the people customers and the pets my clients since I looked after their needs instead of their people) adopted a dog with a sty on its eye when other people wouldn't. I told her what it was and it could easily be removed by vet and not cost too very much she was pleased. But even more so when I told her she had a Brussels Griffon pup, and possibly the breeders dropped it off at the pound so they didn't pay a vet bill.

[@Marshmallow_Trees]

For those not yet integrated into cat communication, that slow blink at 0:08 is a sign of deep contentment and affection. That’s a kitty saying “I love you.” If you see that, it’s a blessing and your heart should be warmed indeed.💕

Same here, I have a calico named Eva who is 17 years old and in really good health for her age. Just some mild arthritis and early onset kidney issues, which we keep under control with meds. She still runs and jumps and loves to be cuddled. We have such a strong bond, she is around me all the time and always wanting cuddles. She loves being held and kissed and she'll just lay with me for hours, purring her little head off.

"Still blasts out of her litter box!" You meant that literally, right?

Right! Cats are great, honestly. Also, their little toe beans are just the cutest! ;w; Plus, whenever they purr, it's really therapeutic. I don't even have a cat, but whenever I visited my friend's house, she had cats and they'd purr and rub their cute, little heads against my leg.

I've got a cat like that. Her name is fluffy she's about 11 years old. She's the most personal cat of my 5 cats as well. Having regular conversations with me. At one time I had 12 cats,,but over the years they passed away from natural causes. One cat that I would feed but I could never get near..Chance was her name,,actually Second Chance was her name but I just called her Chance. She was waiting for me at the door one day with half her fur missing on her lower back. She let me pick her up and go to the Vet. We think she was being chased and she went under a chain link fence catching her skin on the sharp edges. 3 weeks she stayed with me letting me take care of her. Not once did she hiss or scratch me in that time. We also found out that she was pregnant and had 8 kittens. One was still born..I still have 2 of them with me now. The others found homes.

Now I consider my cats as family members and couldn’t live without having cats. I don’t understand who started the false image of cats being aloof and uncaring. Never has that been the case!

I just wish she'd use the litter box and not go outside at all but it's not happening. I've lost too many to cars, coyotes, mountain lions, etc... My girl Mama almost died twice from two separate attacks, one coyote, one cat, but thankfully these days she stays very close to home. I still worry every time she steps out the door though. I'm an overprotective helicopter pet parent and I'm not ashamed to say it! 😄

@@roseannarios7312 me too! Mine is outfitted with a tracker which subdues the paranoia. Ironically, she loves to stay close to home but she’s kept in at night. Total helicopter parent here!

@@elunedlaine8661 may you continue to have many many more happy years with your kitties. We’ve got an 18 month old and a 17 year old, who astounds the vet when she goes in, he can’t believe her age as she’s so healthy. From my experience, they will live ‘til their 20s more often than not. To be fair though, they can make it tricky for us to keep them safe sometimes!

[@roseannarios7312]

@@nickic8759 Ohhhh the tracker. 🤣🤣🤣 I was going to buy it but thankfully I had tried a regular breakaway collar first, two actually with her name tag and my contact info and everything. Had to order a new name tag mind you. She went out once each time and came back collar free. The big monkey! 😂 The second one was actually quite traumatizing for us both though. Not sure if she did this on purpose or not but she got her collar stuck on a ladder that was lying on the ground. She started doing death rolls like an alligator or crocodile. Instead of the collar breaking away, it was twisting and strangling her. Thankfully I happened to walk around that side of the house when this was happening. It was the scariest thing to ever have to watch. Needless to say, I'm never putting another collar on her ever again. She is microchipped though! I've actually looked up chipping her with a GPS. Lol. I still wish there was something I could do so that people would know she's my spayed pet and no longer a feral. Thankfully, these days she also hangs around the house most of the time and is actually indoors a lot, most definitely at night.

Gremlin is irresistable! Her loving gestures and vocalizations melt my heart. Thank you for giving kitties a chance and I'm so sorry about Shelby. I'm glad your pup was able to have anither furry friend though ❤🌹

[@rotisserieprotocol3582]

It melts me to see people make such deep connections with animals. I once had a little calico and she was my little baby. The purest little being to ever exist she was. She chirped more than meowed. She enjoyed watching lights. Eventually we let her and our other cat outside and she would bring back mice to the doorstep because I was such a bad hunter and couldn't catch any for myself

[@intothemystic3374]

Gremlin is like a kitty soul mate to her momma ❤️

[@shaaaym]

She is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Also your other cats are BEAUTIFUL as well but Gremlin she certainly is an ANGEL.

Ahh so gorgeous. What a darling x

[@jenniferquackenbush7458]

She is so beautiful! She has an adorable personality! Thank you for adopting! Gremlin and your other furry family are loving their best life! 🐾❤️🐾 I keep my kitties whiskers too!

[@chestermicek]

Trust me on this: Gremlin will be a better listener than any of your friends, and after a while, her responses will make more sense to you than theirs'. My wife has two lovely female cats, and they never talk politics or religion, plus they are great at being themselves. Sure, they can lay in my lap all day, but let a bird or a bug go by & off they are off to the chase. Predictable, intelligent & they never let you down.

[@lj401]

Such a beautiful relationship. What a precious little gift Gremlin turned out to be and looks like she found the best mom possible too.

[@ladygodieva6298]

OMG I love Gremlin, she brought tears to my eyes. What an adorable cat and what a wonderful human to rescue her and give her all the love she deserves. And I love how Gremlin inspired her to adopt the other wonderful kitties 😻

So very glad you rescued her. She's so sweet. May GOD give all of you many happy, healthy years together. 💕🐈

[@SenoritaConejita]

Torties are the absolute best! Glad this angel has a loving home. I have a black beauty (who is unfortunately extremely sassy and a bit of a meanie, but I love her to pluto and back) and my angelic tortie. She's such a chatterbox! It's never a dull day with both of them. I used to think I was a dog person only, but turns out I love both cats and dogs! I hope to one day rescue a lot of cats and live with them in a big house. :)

Gremlin is so stinking cute!! I hope she has some social media sites. She looks very sociable. A lot of times tortie cats have attitude, or tortie-tude. She looks like a total sweetie! I just love her. 🥰🐈
