[@laureblau1241]

Haha, yes !! 😹😻

[@jonetteottaway3307]

Cats are always cute, but then I'm biased.

[@Ikajo]

As someone with a hissy cat, it is not really anger. It is more like "I think you are scary, stay away from me." It has been over a year and my boy still think I'm scary. His much younger friend, who came as a kitten, is not scared of me at all.

[@rachel_v_k]

@@jonetteottaway3307 I say the same thing. There's no cat that I can't find cute for some reason.

[@rachel_v_k]

@@Ikajo That reminds me of a feral I've been feeding for at least three years. No matter how much he seems to trust me, and will even sit within "petting distance" to me, he won't let me touch him.

His left ear is clipped: sign he was part of a of a 'neuter and release' scheme. Also: I don't get someone trying to pet a cat when they are eating, especially a nervous one. They don't like it! (frankly, I wouldn't either!)

[@michelleroberts5142]

Perhaps it's owner was incarcerated or passed away. We have a cat that's owner passed away.. I don't think the family even realized that she had the cat. If they did, they weren't able to locate him. As my mom was adopting him Into our household.

@@jillybean3688 yes! The male cats especially! But they're so goofy too. Like the ones I've always had are hilarious. One I had used to hide and jump out at you and make this funny noise and grab your leg to scare you lol. So I used to hide and scare him too and I swear he loved it. It was one of his favorite games. After he scared you..he'd run off like he was laughing at you. And he was obsessed with my little sisters polly pockets clothes. They're like a rubbery material. We would hide them cuz he'd eat them and we knew that couldnt be healthy. And we'd think they were all put up but then here he'd come carrying some in his mouth. We were like where'd you even find those?! He was indoor/outdoor (we had a cat door) and he CONSTANTLY brought us "presents" he was a little terrorist lol. I miss that cat so much. He was the best.

"I was going to be extremely picky about who adopted him" As a rescuer you have 100% of the right to be as picky as you want. No arguments. But the flip side of the coin is that plenty of "imperfect" adopters who will still give animals loving home gets rejected, frustrated, and turn to breeders. Or worse, Craigslist, and find themselves an animal when there are already plenty that needs a home.

[@viktoriyashaykhuzina13]

[@antoniomargallo5317]

When stray cats are sterilized, the vets usually cut the tip of their ears (the cat's ear, not the vet's), so they can differentiate the ones that had it and the ones that didn't.

[@catto3924]

Ohh i thought the vets ear, thanks for the extra note

[@tiffi5819]

Axel has a beautiful coat and his mangled ear really gives him some gravitas. He was worth the time to bring him in and show him love that he deserves.

[@authenticpoppy]

The ear a Trap Neuter (Spay) Return clip. TNR is a program where stray or or feral cats are humanely trapped, neutered or spayed (given other medical attention as well) and then returned to a colony. These community programs do incredible work with strays and feral cats. 😊

[@annavictrix]

FYI, The notched ear means, he's a feral cat that was fixed and released.

[@feuerling]

His ear isn't marked yet in the first clip, and you can see the scab on his ear a bit later. So he was neutered by the people who caught&socialized him in the video.

[@jedijones]

@@feuerling Really horrible and stupid to do that to a cat who is going to be adopted as a pet.

[@feuerling]

@@jedijones Because it'll disable him for life -_- (it won't) They didn't know if he was going to be adoptable. So instead of risking having to put him under anaesthesia again if it didn't work out, they marked him. Or maybe the local vet has a TNR discount that only applies if the cat gets tipped. They don't do it for fun. These charities work through hundreds of feral and stray cats, and often lack the time and resources to tame the adults. He was an exception.

[@cordie2987]

Only the feral cats who are going to be released back to the area they were caught, should have their ears tipped. Why in the world would someone remove part of their acute hearing mechanism if they are going to be fostered and rehomed? Tipping is for "trap-neuter-release" only. Thank you for rescuing and rehoming him. He is beautiful and precious. Every feral can be rehabilitated. I have 'trapped-spay/neutered-rehomed MANY. Never had to release back to the streets. It just takes patience, time and love. Cats learn quickly. Many are just frightened because someone failed them along the way.❤

[@reginagonzales5277]

Yes I agree 100%

[@ElaAusDemTal]

Oh, so they never started to pee into every available corner plus onto your bed?

[@schisandra]

Maybe they weren’t sure he could be rehabilitated, so when he was under anesthesia for neutering, they decided to tip his ear as well? It’s definitely an odd thing to do on a cat that’s going to be adopted out.

[@jacquelynpowell7964]

I totally agree.

[@cordie2987]

@@ElaAusDemTal Not sure what you are referring to, but tipping their ears is a visible sign alerting animal control, shelters and the public that these cats have gone through the TNR (Trap-Neuter-Release) program, including Rabies vax, so that animal control will not pick them up and euthanize them. TNR started as a more humane means of not having to kill the cats. The most humane thing people can do is to get their cats spay/neutered prior to 6 months of age, when they generally become sexually mature. And never leave your pets behind, expecting someone else will take them. Rehome them or surrender them to a shelter.
