My teacher once had her cat lost. She put missing cat announcement on social media and someone told her that her cat was seen in the other end of the city. She went there and took the cat that looked exactly like her cat. He didn’t react to his name though, and she was puzzled by it, but decided he was just stressed. Few days later her real cat returned home. She was amazed at how similar they looked: same peachy coloured fluffy fur, same white spots, same eye colour. They looked like identical twins. She kept them both 😊

Now THAT is the right thing to do, not throw one away

[@lanon3277]

My grandparents had a fluffy orange cat, Nicky. One day, Nicky asked to be let out into the garage to hang out with grandpa. Grandma obliged and opened the door, only to find Nicky was already sitting on Grandpa’s lap. Nicky had brought home his doppelgänger and it took that event for my grandparents to learn they had two cats. They named the second cat Nicholas. Nicky and Nicholas were best friends and cuddle buddies to the end of their days.

[@WobblesandBean]

Something similar happened to me once. I had an orange derp named Stewart, sadly he never got his turn at the brain cell. He ran out one day as I was signing for a package, and I couldn't find him. I was devastated. The next day, I went looking for him again, and passed by a neighbor's house on the far side of the neighborhood. I saw a cat meowing in the window. It was Stewart! I don't know how or why, but apparently they had a cat that looked just like him. He was an outdoor cat though, and so when they were trying to let him in for the night, Stewart just showed up. They took him in thinking it was their cat 😂

[@laurelsamuelson3764]

This one took me a few days to finish since it was really emotionally difficult. I didn’t expect to be so angry with Olive- I want to cut her some slack for being so lonely, but I can’t get over how irresponsible she was adopting a cat without a backup caretaker or anything. The fact that she dumped the cat in the wild instead of at least leaving her near a shelter was really frustrating. It was really rough working through the whole mixed bag of feelings the characters evoked. The mantra about home being where you’re are needed feels less like a moral of the story and more a survival tactic. This game was really good, but man it messed me up. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk

[@WobblesandBean]

I lived in the UK for many years, and sadly over there they think cats belong outdoors. I hate it. The way Olive and Mae treated Dawn made my blood boil.

[@toolatetothestory]

@@WobblesandBean Cats belong indoors. Already because they are an invasive species and damage their sorrounding ecosystem through overhunting.

[@justkandid]

Aint no way she left Dawn in the fields after taming her. The last bit of kindness she could've shown is give her away to the shelter!

[@graddiehall2322]

That's what I'm saying!!!

[@zoorenard1101]

I 100% believed she was bringing her back to the shelter 😭 the way I LOST IT when I realized what was going on. F YOU OLIVE. I felt for her, but not anymore. Leaving a house cat in the wild is plain cruel

[@Ydgdy-shhd]

All right this is the explanation olive has dementia means he forgets things he forgotten dawn and also but a new cat and the original cat was finding food to eat

[@lachouette_et_le_phoque]

@@Ydgdy-shhd hm, didn't they mention what it was in the beginning, like an aneuryrism or something? Fainting isn't a dementia thing in any case. I think forgetfulness from dementia doesn't really work that way, she seemed overall very put together and organised (clean house, she always remembered the cat's name, was able to cook a meal), no weird confused spells etc.

[@Cakespresso]

​@@Ydgdy-shhd... that no what she has...otherwise she wouldn't even be remebering her daughter

[@newgirlde]

My wife said to never speak to her about this game again because of how Olive and Mae treated the cats. :( I'm happy that the ending was good for Dawn and Sunrise, but... I guess the point is that humans are seemingly so....omnipresent and near omniscient to a furry family member that they can get away with the most awful things and there's nothing they can do about it. It's just the reality of life for a non-human creature. To be angry, upset, or vengeful towards a human is like being angry at a storm or vengeful about the ocean.

[@newgirlde]

It didn't make me cry, but it did make me want to go hug my kitties and reaffirm my pledge to keep them warm, safe, fed, and loved.

[@newgirlde]

For those curious we just adopted another cat a few months ago from a shelter. We named him Dr. Pepper. It's clear he was a catch & release stray for a very long time and maybe deemed too feral to be housed. Happy to say he has found a wonderful home with us after a few months of patience. :)

[@poppy_pixie]

I completely understand where your wife is coming from because it's so difficult to have to think about what pets go through every day and how incredibly powerless they are at the end of the day. But I appreciated that this game showed this so openly, not shying away from portraying that even the "good" owners can still do bad by their pets, even if they truly love them in their own way, just by making poor choices that harm the pet. And that at the end of the day, we need to take better care of them, because we are all they have! Also Dr. Pepper sounds awesome, I'm so happy you guys have each other now!

[@newgirlde]

@@poppy_pixie he is very awesome. I still do not understand why he didn't get adopted sooner. He was in various shelters for almost 2 years. He got a round of applause on his way out from all the staff. Funny story? He didn't seem to know he had a "butt button." The first time we put him from head to tail he like jumped and freaked out about his butt moving into the air on its own.

[@poppy_pixie]

@@newgirlde Oh gosh bless him!! I can imagine he's LOVING all the butt scratchies he's getting now

[@bunnyflop3864]

This game was traumatizing instead of being cozy tbh. I hate Olive with passion, as well as her horrible daughter and pretty much almost every other human in the game.

[@leleite1]

Yes, not cozy at all. Why would her keep the two cats only at the end?? The poor cat went through hell in the streets... this game made me feel bad

[@WobblesandBean]

​@@leleite1 Sadly, many people treat cats as expendable. We live in a world where most people think dogs are children (which is unhealthy and not at all good for the dog), yet think cats are just things that aren't even worth keeping indoors.

[@Unshippedpaper]

At least the kid was nice but that's about it.

[@DJVideso]

She didn't want to get rid of Dawn. It was her daughter

[@DragonKnight401]

The point of the game is to show the reality pets go through being constantly mistreated by people who want the idea of a pet but not actually taking care of them. It’s about awareness not coziness that doesn’t actually address the real problems cats and dogs go through.

[@DinosaurNick]

I've got a 2 year old cat named Holiday. I call him Holly for short. He was tossed out a car window as a kitten about 6 to 7 weeks old. I rescued him, and he grew very attached to me. He's a grey domestic short hair tabby boy.

[@WhitneyDahlin]

Dude who are these people. The worst part is people who do that aren't really humans at all. They're monsters who look exactly like humans. They look like everyone else. We have no way of knowing who is a real human and who's just pretending. Cuz I would love to meet these people. In a dark alley. Alone. In a bad part of town that doesn't have cameras.

[@Gfoot1]

Cats don't usually get thrown out of cars as much as gets reported. Kittens have a tendency to climb into engine bays or wheel cases, because they're warm, secluded spots. They then get flung out onto the road when a car owner doesn't notice the cat and drives off with the kitten still there. Unless you see a person actually throwing a cat out of their car, it's probably safe to assume no foul play. Helps maintain one's faith in humanity a bit, too. Still, good on you for rescueing your cat!

[@impishrebel5969]

@@Gfoot1 Thank you for this. I'm constantly tired of people saying "oh she was thrown/dropped from a car" when it's extremely unlikely, and the fact cats climb into car workings is a well known fact. Heck, there was a famous video of a motorcyclist rescuing a kitten from the middle of an intersection and there's clear footage of when the cat appears and it was definitely not deliberate, the cat just fell out from under the car but guess what people were saying regardless. I'm like "??? no car doors or windows open and the cat just appears on the road? how are people coming to this conclusion?"

I got way too emotionally attached to Dawn and Olive - To be quite honest, I was so genuinely upset with you when you chose to stay quiet while Olive was being rushed to the hospital - because I realised that it meant no one was reminded that Dawn was there and needed looking after and needed to be fed and taken care of. Even though rationally I knew it's just a game & not a real cat that was gonna be neglected, the panic and dread I felt was way too real. Just shows you how incredible their storytelling and world building was, to make you feel so strongly about a fictional cat and her old lady owner. Loved this game so much.

[@poppy_pixie]

Nevermind, just saw the bit with the daughter following that scene - even meowing in that moment wouldn't have reminded her to look after Dawn. Jesus.

I cried so hard I had to wake up my orange cat to sit next to me. I just kept imagining if that's what she went through because she was a stray and a neighbor told me she was thrown away from 2 different homes until we found her one day, bumping her head under chairs. Safe to say I gave her a lot of rubs and treats while she watched me sob uncontrollably. This game broke me, especially with your commentary making me laugh then start crying again... 😿

[@leleite1]

When I adopted my cat she literally climbed up the gate and meowed in my face... and I said, "ok I guess I have no choice". She was only a month old and she's with me for 4 years now.

I appreciate you playing this game, because I would not have had the heart to. I moved countries, and across the ocean, and it wasn't a matter of choice. What I could choose was whether or not I selfishly risk the lives of my 17 year old cats on a plane with me, and risk not being able to give them food/care/shelter...or leave them with someone I knew would provide all of those and a whole lot of love. And I feel like I abandoned them every single day. This story was hard to watch. And beautiful. And thank you, Morph, for getting that cat out of the road.

Try to get your sweet feral kitty trapped and spayed/neutered before letting her be free again. It helps reduce the feral/stray population, and it’ll keep her a lot healthier for longer so she can keep hanging out with you!

[@titepsy7175]

My 2 little female cats have free roam of our yard outside. Everything was fine for a couple years of living there, they’d go out and go no further than the neighbours yard, catching bugs and tiny mice and just enjoying the sunshine. Eventually everything became hostile when a couple of strays started coming into our backyard everyday. They would spray everywhere and fully stalked and attacked my cats on numerous occasions. My cats became afraid of going outside and seemed to be generally unhappy out of boredom. I didn’t know why the strays showed up or why they were roaming my backyard, I tried trapping them but catching cats is more difficult than I imagined. One night when I was having a cigarette out the front of my house, I noticed the woman in the house across the street from me, who is a close friend of my mother, came outside and placed dishes on the floor of her patio. The two strays then came, ate the food and immediately crossed the road heading for my house before I scared them off. I watched her feed those cats several nights in a row and was certain this was the reason strays were frequenting my yard. I told my mom to tell her friend to stop feeding the strays unless she plans on fixing them, vaccinating them and keeping them as pets. The next day I watched and she didn’t feed them. They yowled and begged at her door but she didn’t appear. She never fed them again and those cats moved on and I’ve never seen them since. Eventually my cats regained their confidence to be outside and they are noticeably happier because of it. I’m telling you this because although your stray cat may be sweet to you, unfixed cats are territorial, and your good intentions may be causing stress to your neighbours. They can carry diseases transmittable to other pets as well as internal parasites and fleas. One of the fights between the strays and my cats resulted in a $300 vet bill for an abscess which is not something I can easily afford. Remember that when you feed a stray, it will stick around for good and invite its friends to come as well. Cats are very able hunters, if you don’t feed them they’ll just go find something to eat elsewhere, they’ll survive just fine.

[@Mumbles0225]

I adopted a big, fluffy, adult gray cat. She's so beautiful and friendly, I couldn't imagine why anyone would've given her up.... 3 years later, I'm like, "oh, I get it, you're a freaking raging lunatic. A normal person could absolutely not deal with your shenanigans." Luckily for her, we have 2 big dogs and 2 more cats, so we're used to chaos. She welcomed herself into our home immediately, literally 0 minutes of adaptation. She'll jump on your shoulder randomly and without warning, runs around screaming at the top of her lungs, hunts literally everything, including your car keys... The literal embodiment of chaos. Life is never dull 😅

[@nyadarius]

My youngest is a bit like her 😂 bless them for keeping us on our toes!

[@MusketeerGweneth]

We took in an adult grey fluffy cat who showed up on our doorstep on Halloween night looking wretched. We did everything to get her healthy and beautiful and then started looking for a possible owner. Nobody came forward to claim her. We fell in love with her even though her zoomies broke a lot of stuff and we called her Monster, sometimes Monster Mash, Sometimes Monster Mash Graveyard Smash. We ended up giving her to a farm to be a barn cat for her feral nature, refusal to get along with the other pets who were there first and refusal to use the litter box. She's happy now living like the ferocious wild cat she is while also safe and being loved.

[@randomfish18]

Came here for a nice and cozy game about being a cat. Didn’t expect it to absolutely break me! I think I sobbed more at this game than any other. I used to have cats that grew to love my family. They liked being both inside and outside. Sometimes, they'd go outside and disappear for a few days, and then come back ready for love again. They were very sweet and affectionate cats. I miss them.

[@missdire]

I know a lot of cats look similar, but as someone who is positively obsessed with my boys, I'd be able to spot them in a mob of look-alikes. I know all of their little unique traits and identifying marks. My big Siamese boy is Lord Jasper Mune the Noodle Glitch (commonly called Mune or Mumu (pronounced Mew-mew)), and my mini panther is Sir Lumen von Lubergersteinenbachwernerzurg (commonly referred to as Lu or Luey). It's a mouthful whenever they're naughty, but the vet always has a giggle over their names. They're very distinguished, and no one can tell them otherwise. I also don't understand how anyone could be so cruel to an outdoor kitty that obviously needs love. I feed and love on the neighbourhood cats too. 🥹

[@NoxArcane]

I've looked forward to this game! Now that I finished watching this, I have mixed feelings. It had good education points. Overall, it's a good story showcasing what all too commonly happens to pets. It was the ending that felt lackluster to me. Sure, Sunrise gets her home with Olive. We get the "happy ending" you'd hope for in a fairy tale. But this isn't a fairy tale. Why can she suddenly take care of/own two cats when she couldn't before? Why did we not get to see any closure to Sunrise's feelings of abandonment and betrayal toward Olive? We don't get that final confrontation for Sunrise to get her validation and for Olive to - maybe - get some redemption for acknowledging her wrongs. It's really unsatisfying.

[@Grrimbark]

Olive gained something that she didn't have before- help. She is finally in a retirement home that has staff trained to help her and make sure she is happy and comfortable in her final years. She was finally able to give Dawn and Sunrise a home because she was able to take care of herself, and know that help is OKAY. This game also seemed to have a message on realizing that you are getting older, and that you might need that additional help. You might feel ashamed and deny help, therefore denying care for yourself and that can impact SO much more than just you. When you let yourself suffer, those that love you will suffer too. It's okay to ask for help.

[@NoxArcane]

@@Grrimbark I understand that, but that does not in any way excuse her actions. And we do not get to see her growth, or receive any kind of closure for the MC. The ending is rushed and abrupt. A story can have a clear, excellent message (which I've said it did) and still be weakly written.

[@javijanuaryarts]

This game made me cry a lot! as a cat owner of 6 rescued babies and as an abandoned human too. I'm autistic and animals have always been my best companions, they are so clear with their needs and their love is so honest. It's the only love I have earned just by being me, I stuggle a lot trying to take good care of them but it's really hard when you have low income. I can't work like a neurotipical person. I really loved your voice and I would love to hear your audiobooks! listening to podcasts, audiobooks and watching gameplays makes me feel a little bit less lonely. Thank you!

[@Manicpixiedreamgorgon]

1. Watching this at night was a mistake. I went to bed in tears. 5 star play through, 4 star game 2. Game lost one star because I feel like the attempted murder of the mom was never really addressed? Like I 100% understand what they were going for: grief, despair, and caretaker burnout cloud judgement and can drive people to make terrible decisions. BUT ALSO, wtf?! If it hadn't been for throwing out the cat I would've had a lot more empathy for her in that moment. But that PLUS throwing out the cat--twice!--paints the daughter as cruel, which made it hard for me to buy into her as the loving-but-grieving daughter the rest of the time. 3. That said, I can see where she gets it from. On what planet is dumping your pet in the middle of nowhere a better option than taking it back to the shelter you got it from like... Two weeks ago? They would've taken the cat back! The dude there already knew you couldn't handle it! He was probably expecting someone in her family to return it as soon as she keeled over! 4. Speaking of Olive, I think math might not be her strong suit. She lost one cat, and adopted a second, near identical cat. One cat returned. Why did it NEVER occur to her "what happened to the other cat?" Does she lack object permanence when it comes to cats specifically? WTF Olive Anyway, great game. But those are the parts that still stick out to me this morning.

[@MusketeerGweneth]

I have always avoided getting a new cat exactly like the one I am grieving. I go with a different breed or coat color so I don't compare or have unrealistic expectations of the new pet to act like the one who passed, possibly leading to resentment and unhealthy grieving a loss. I had a tortoiseshell cat go missing. I could never replace her or call another cat the same name.

[@Midorikonokami]

I think it's the fickleness of humans. If something is not convenient anymore, they discard it. When I developed severe, life-threatening allergies to my cat, she was only a kitten I had adopted recently - never had a pet in the house, especially not one that slept in the room with me, so I couldn't know my windpipe would decide the dander was the enemy. I cried - or wheezed - the whole time and gave her to a friend, vaccines and operations payed for on my end, and she gives me photos. I still buy her gifts and miss her. I didn't even take her to a shelter - I took her to another HOME. I hate how this game ended but I love this game. It is important to show how cruel humans can be.

[@TheSacredFrog]

That's exactly what I was thinking like why was the attempted murder necessary and why was it never addressed

Oh dear lord, this game had me SOBBING. I've had my grey blue cat Hagrid for almost ten years, and I would be broken without him. Living through the housing crisis from a low-income family, he and I have struggled through everything together. Since his stray mama birthed him on my doorstep. Eating ramen noodles for my own meals to afford to feed him. Several moves and figuring out where we're going to go next. But I would never go somewhere that I can't bring him with me. He's my best friend and my companion. There are challenges I have faced in the last decade that could have killed me had he not been there to comfort me. He needs me and I need him. So I agree, family really is where you're needed most.

No worries, I balled my eyes out when Olive left Dawn in the middle of nowhere… my cat just looked at me weirdly like why are you crying so much. His name is LSD… and no the other cats don’t bully him for the name. He’s very chill and calm… probably high most of the time… that’s the reason for the name.

I have two cats. They were both abandoned in a cardboard box. Ella was the only adult in the box of kittens, so we have assumed that she is the mother of the litter.

[@kaedequinn]

Hello, I don't usually comment, I find it awkward. But I wanted to say that I loved watching you play this game, mainly because I love your passion for cats! I have mixed feelings about the game - Olive's daughter was horrible by kicking out the first Dawn and then the way she mistreated the second Dawn, and whilst Olive abandoned Dawn II, she did redeem herself at the end by giving both a home, and a name! I'm a cat lover myself (fun fact apparently someone's preference for cats or dogs is in their DNA!) and I feel like I can also relate to Dawn II. I grew up in foster care, and was moved from place to place so never really had a place to call home. Some places I was moved from because I wasn't "good enough". I'm autistic and also have adhd so could be pretty intense as a child, but I do remember in one home I was in there was a cat named Squiggle who was my best friend. He was the most faithful and reliable "person" in my life. I ran away from there a few times because I didn't like being in that house, and it was always Squiggle who came to find me. Sometimes we spent a night sleeping on the street together, but he'd always stay close and never left me alone. When I was sick it was Squiggle who would be there for me, right on my bed and never leaving my side. When I left that place I so badly wished Squiggle could come with me, but he wasn't allowed. Initially I moved to a house about 5 minutes away, and Squiggle would show up every morning and accompany me on whatever I was doing that day (because I wasn't going to school) and would walk me back there later in the afternoon. When I left that area I had to say goodbye to Squiggle, which was so incredibly difficult. I heard that he was hit by a car a few days after I left the area, so that bit at the end, about home is being where you're needed most, really hit me as it felt like Squiggle was needed in that house when I lived there, and he was my home and my family, but he was no longer needed there when I left. That sounds a bit morbid though ... I like to think that I was just one if his nine lives, and for his next life he went to live with another family who needed him too. He was a good cat, and I miss him 🐱

[@lachouette_et_le_phoque]

Wow, I'm sorry, that sounds like it was so hard! I'm glad you had Squiggle, he sounds like the most loyal and empathetic cat anyone could ever ask for. That's really extraordinary. Our cats don't react at all even if I cry or have a bad health day - I don't fault them for it, I still love them, but certainly comforting a human isn't universal in cats.

[@zhining911]

How can you leave a cat like that in the wild? This is furious😢😭

[@bonniethomson5861]

I thought your playthrough of 'My Child Lebensborn' broke me. This had me crying the whole 2 hours and 43 minutes. And when the credits were rolling my own cat jumped onto me which had me laugh crying. My mum is an absolute cat lover and has 5 rescued cats. Her local vet asked her if she knew anyone who wanted a cat because if they couldnt find him a home they were going to put him down because he has a purr that sounds like the grudge girl and they couldnt work out why. Mum asked me if my friend wanted him and the moment I saw his face I knew I wanted him. I had to have my mum help me with the litter box at first cause that was the main reason I had never owned a cat or considered it. But after months of having to wear a gas mask while hyperventilating, I finally got over it (though I still have my moments). I absolutely love my cat, dont know where I'd be without him, so this game really hit hard.

[@zarah8872]

Tbh i kinda wish Dawn didnt go back to Olive and instead went with a family/person who wouldn't abandon her in the wilderness. I get Olive couldnt take care of two cats but atleast take her back to the shelter where she would get food and have a roof over her head. Even after realising the cat was Dawn, she didnt give it any food knowing that the cat has not eaten in days. I get people do abandon cats in the wilderness but Olive is supposed to be the "good guy". I don't know anyine who would do what Olive did if they truly cared for cats. They could have atleast given Olive a chance to redeem herself for her action of abandoning Dawn but the story just ended like that never happened

7:00 Actually when you adopt, they do a lot of strict tests on the home etc. Especially if you are a gay couple or unwell. If you don't adopt, there's not really a lot of that.

[@starlightlilly7203]

We adopted both our dogs from working dog rescue agencies. They came and saw the property, checked for a fenced area and plenty of grass, a sheltered place to sleep at night and met our other pets. For so many buying a pet is just easier because some breeders just care about the cash

As a kid we had one cat that enjoyed getting vacuumed. The other one we had at the time was afraid of the vacuum, like most cats.

[@MonalysChannel]

Since I found no Comment Adressing it... I´m an absolute Cat lover. All feel so sorry for Olive, I feel more sorry for "our" Dawn. And even the other. Even if she couldnt care for both and had to give away one... why not at leat giving it back to the shelter? At least she wouldnt starve or get hit by a car or killed by a dog. To just let her be by herself is the worst she could have done. For me this Game was a nightmare to watch. Dawn never had a good expirence with a human. All her life she was suffering and disapointed again and again. If I where her, I would never trust any human again. Espacially not Olive or that horrible Daughter. I really hope she´ll never need to suffer again. Like... whats when Olive dies? Out on the street again? No one will care. Her daughter wont care. So they will be left alone again. If at least we could have seen many years happy in Dawns life... ups and downs are ok... but this have only be downs. It just made me sad. I dont like what the devs did here. Morph, you did well, as always.

[@eldupont3095]

"I see why Daddy left" LOL

[@Krobe243]

The little boy who rejected the kitty as a Christmas present made me really aggrovated. My mom gave me a kitten for Christmas to help deal with her divorcing my dad just under 18 years ago. Misty was my Christmas kitty and I’d do anything to have her back and healthy, I did the best I could for her until her kidneys shut down in June and I had no choice but to let her go. That bratty kid needs a reality check, the unconditional love from an animal can’t be compared to inanimate objects.

[@Spudsbottom]

Olive is the villain of this game

[@heiltotheking]

the problem is, its hard to see her as a villain. She's obviously deteriorating mentally and physically. She didn't WANT to hurt the cat, but he couldn't tell the two cats apart. She's a villain in the cats eyes, but for us it's a bit more complicated. I'd blame the daughter, because Dawn was a comfort to Olive and Olive was a comfort to Dawn.

[@Mcflirts]

@@heiltotheking I agree. I don't know what Mae's deal is but I think she is the villain. However dropping her off at the meadow was... less than logical. "No cages", yes, but shelter would have been a much better decision for care, and for a new family.

[@MadMorph]

Maybe we SHOULDN'T have scratched the window when Mae grabbed that pillow after all......

I’ve had a handful of orange cats growing up. If one of us kids didn’t name the cat first, my dad would name them his most clever name… “Orange.” 🤦🏼‍♀️ Editing to add: I watched half of this video on my living room TV and my cat LOVED it. 😂

People do come around and check things out if you adopt a child, though. My parents had to do multiple home studies before being allowed to adopt me to show that they could provide for me.

My most recent cat was Kiley. She lived to about age 15. I miss her, but I know she's in kitty heaven. She was an Amercian with a tortoise shell pattern. Absolutely gorgeous!

[@Nightswarmer]

I picked my cat up at the shelter a year ago and they said she was wary of strangers, so I started by introducing her to my bedroom only, got all her things, water and food bowl, plus the litter, all in that room.. Then I opened her carrier, sat down on the floor and read a book, while Sazzy explored my bedroom.. She slept in my bed that first night and she's been sleeping there since.. Also, she wasn't a senior, but an adult, but she's a Bengal and thus a high activity cat and she’d been really struggling finding her forever home, so it feels good that she's here..

[@g-alicenine]

Omg the twist of the daughter, it's so upsetting and infuriating. Especially cos you just know some people would do that. My mom had two cats, when a day comes she can't take care of them well anymore, I'll help her any way I can. I have two cats, girls, Wilbell and Mika. Even got an instagram dedicated to them lol

[@axelkitten3189]

I tried to hold it, but after I hit 2 hours I cried like an ugly baby. The scene where Olive and Dawn are rubbing faces just reminded me of my own cats and i BROKE When i first got my cats, it was my mom's idea and it was meant to be a surprise for me so i couldn't turn them down and we both had to live w them. The reason i wanted to turn down the prospect of having cats was because my mom was allergic and a neat-freak. She was also planning to marry a guy who had even worse allergies than she did, and within a month of having them she said we'd have to give them away. I was stubborn about it tho, and knew her allergies wouldn't be a problem after another week or so (I was right - she's not allergic to them anymore), but she still said we'd have to give them away. A year passed and she would remind me at random times that they couldn't stay and every time she did, I'd ball my eyes out. I used to bury my face in their fur and one of them would always give me kisses and act like a concerned parent whenever I called her. The whole experience still sits with me, and that bloody face rub scene just took my soul and twisted it until it snapped. I'm just glad that it's been literal years since then, and i still quite literally have them on the couch w me. That was an unnecessary set of stressful warnings and events omd☠

[@simaliang9797]

9 year old Blackie. His name is Professor Plum. We had his brother as well, Gilligan Green, but he sadly passed due to cancer. We adopted them from a rescue when they were 3. Will always adopt from rescues no matter what.

[@babypanda638]

Recently adopted a dilute tortoise shell cat from our local humane society. She was the last of her colony left at the shelter and was badly bullied after the last of her kittens were adopted. When we adopted her she had a large gash on the top of her head from the other cats. after adoption, she didn't come out for nearly two months but now, after six months, she never leaves my side. We named her Montana bc her colouring reminded us of the mountains there. She sleeps with me every night and her favourite spot is either on my back or on my stomach. I love her more than anything

She’s so vocal, she’ll sit and cry at the front door wanting outside, and when she’s not doing that she likes just following us around and cuddling. She’s the sweetest, a little cutie patootie. I’m so biased. I don’t know her backstory, but I adopted her and her brother when they were kittens from an animal rescue.

I'm not crying, you are! I've grown up around cats. Had 14 rescue cats on my farm at one point. Would take them from the other farmers that would drown their feral kittens. I’m all grown up now and live in a big town, but still rescue cats when I can. I usually go for the shy, half wild ones. It takes a lot of work but it’s so rewarding when they realise they are safe and they don’t have to hoard food around the house anymore.

I have a twelve year old flame point siamese named Manford; He's a sweet love sponge, angel... I feel very fortunate and blessed to know his love and affection. I was also blessed to have had his brother Symon and my two girl cats Sassy and Pudge before them. Even though I've never been a fan of dogs, I was after meeting my dog Chloe, who made me see the error in my thinking. Some folks think animals are lucky to have us, but I think we're lucky to have them, and we should never take that for granted.

[@cindypacheco7677]

Catios are good for them, but you gotta remember cats domesticated themselves and they are invasive to wildlife. And while you can keep your cat outside or indoors…they need lots of enrichment. If they don’t get enough enrichment and healthy food (expensive kind), they will terrorize your house bc they’re bored. Get them microchipped if you’re going to let them outside.

[@iscariotproject]

my stray cat adopted me..she found me in the woods...she was skin and bones...best love you can ever get...and all it costs is water and food and some kitty litter.

[@daniek9208]

I have two boys too. A Japanese bobtail named Pete. He is 18 already! The first kitten I have ever had after having about 14 or more strays and rescues throughout my life. Then one day my landlord dropped off two kittens to me that the shelter didn’t have room for…. While I was sleeping and without permission. 😒 I did not have time to be raising kittens or the money. I sold the Siamese looking one in about a week though and the landlord brought me supplies. Now, 4 years later I have a new landlord and a big fluffy orange cat named Booty that I love dearly. Added: My house burned down and I lost almost everything. The home message here really hit me hard. I lost my wolf and almost lost my cat and myself too. My definition of home has changed so much since then.

[@duphasdan]

I have a cat that is from a litter and mother cat abandoned by a family that moved. The fiends just left them outside. I was visting my sister in andother state. I took in the poor kitten as it was climbing on the screen door desperate for attention. By then his mother and siblings had already sadly passed away from starvation, thus making it impossible to send them to a proper shelter or family. He has since grown up and never leaves my room when I'm home.

I'll take ANY excuse to talk about my son Bean. I fostered him as a kitten and couldn't give him back. There was something about his lil grumpy face. Depending on his mood, he gets various nicknames including Mr Bean, Spicy, Purr Monster, Sweet Pea, Snot Rocket (he's had cat flu since he was a kitten - apparently it stays in cats' systems.

The idea of not being able to care for my cats anymore terrifies me. I need them just as much as they need me, if not more. They’re my children in my eyes and I cannot imagine throwing them out without uncontrollably sobbing and feeling terrible. The idea that anyone can throw out their pets like this is heartbreaking, and I truly believe that those people don’t deserve to have those pets to begin with

[@CatMario100]

The second I saw the trailer for this game, my heart sunk. It was a day after I got my black cat, Inigo back. He's my absolute baby. He got out at night when we opened a door and the moment before we could catch him, our neighbor's dog chased him off. I was devastated. Some of the worst 10 days of my life. Looked everyday for him. He came back one night in a hurry and panic and I've been carefully watching him ever since. Took me awhile to actually see this game when it released, but even now, I can't fully watch through the game. It brings me back to when Inigo ran away and just how terrified it made him.
