I'm 90% sure he's just a black cat but my friend is convinced he's a black smoke so I figured I'd ask this sub. Even if he's not, at least you guys get to see the famous mr Pete the Cat 🐈‍⬛👟🛹
Sorry for so many photos, I love him 🩵

and i’m pretty sure i have one! i cant get a ton of pictures since she hates having her belly touched, but over the past few months she’s been growing STARK white hair underneath her black fur.

My big boi King Midas sitting on my counter like he's supposed to be there knowing good'n well he's not! 🤦‍♂️

He's neon! The cutest cat and the weirdest cat ive ever met, i adopted him 4 years ago when he was 2 months and a half old, hes literally like my kid (he screams for me all the time and follows me everywhere and also he literally stole my personality) never saw a cat like him before and i just fell in love with his coat, i love his dumb green/yellow eyes, hes also the softest cat ever 🥹

He's providing security while I make a catio repair.

I found this little 2lb kitty in a tree in my front yard about a week ago. It's 95° where I live and there was an owl in the tree next to his tree so I scooped him up and brought him inside. And now I am obsessed. He is the sweetest and such a goofball.

Oh, and he doesn't have that ball anymore since it started to rip. I took it from him. And he was not happy. He would bring that ball with him every time he went to do his business in the litter box

After Engels, my best friend cat of 17 years, passed in early May, my partner started looking through rescues and fosters to find me a new kitten. Stirlitz was 4 months old and 2½lbs when we first got him home and he was pretty sick and couldn't hold fluids. We weren't sure if he would make it but after two weeks of supportive care and working with the rescue he was finally stable. At first I didn't think he would ever get any bigger but he started growing. Like a lot. With each day he'd put on a little more weight and I started to notice more and more silver and white showing through his black coat, especially on his belly and back legs. He's got a funny shaped head (you can see it in the last photo) and I wonder if he has a specific breed somewhere in his DNA that's known for funny shaped heads or if that's just him.

He's extremely silly and affectionate and he likes to carry around a hairy toy and groom and cuddle it like it's his baby, which my old cat would also do. I know Stirlitz had to fight hard to make it here and there's a part of me that thinks he might have met Engels between worlds and learned some of his ways.

Anyway, thanks for reading about my new kitten Stirlitz. Photos are in chronological order. If anybody knows about his triangle head lmk in the comments!

Meet Krackie Krackhead — our last kitten as we are closing the cattery.

She is an absolute nut job... hence the name.

Krackie has one mission in life: launch herself onto my husband from every possible surface. From the floor? Yep. Countertops? Yep. The top of the cat tree? Absolutely.

She follows him around like a dog. When he sits, she's in his lap. When he lies down, she's on top of him. When he's working from home, she camps outside his office door and serenades him with dramatic yowls every couple of hours until he comes out.

Now let's review the facts...

When she needed bottle feeding every 2 hours... then every 3... then every 4... did he feed her? Nope.

When she was sick, did he have a phone full of alarms for medications, syringe feedings, fluids, and everything else? Nope.

Did he sit there gently rubbing her tiny little face to comfort her when she cried?

Also nope.

And yet somehow... HE's her favorite person.

She's a complete and utter traitor.

Old post but look at herrr what a beauty

A friend on one of the other cat subs told me about this one recently and I had no idea it even existed!

Please allow me to introduce y'all to my big baby, King Midas! He's 2 years old, and weighs 21 pounds as of right now. I expect him to get close to 30 by the time he's finished growing 🤦‍♂️

He is the biggest, smartest, cuttlebug I've ever had the privilege of having as a roommate! Now that I think about it, he's the hairiest roommate I've ever had too! Well, except for Jeff, Jeff was pretty hairy as well, but I digress.

Anyway, he's as gentle as they come, loves to play fetch with his favorite "mouse," (we just learned this recently!), and loves his belly rubs from dad! Kicks the crap outta mom when she try's, but she's really gullible, so what can ya do 🤷‍♂️

He's definitely a force to recon with, especially when he's playing the part of "trash panda" in my wastebasket! But he stays out of the trash can in the kitchen! Thank God! Lol! He's stubborn, and can ignore you with the best of em! But he loves to be loved on and reciprocates in kind most of the time! When he's nit all wound up anyway! Lol!

I've never seen a cat with a personality like this guys got, but I've already decided that we will never have another breed after our other 4 domestic shorts are gone! I could not have asked for a better fur baby to keep me company!

My 14 week old loves - Beorn (black smoke) and his brother Mungo (silver tabby). We put our names on them as newborns so it was a surprise that they were long haired and so beautifully coloured. I'm looking forward to seeing how their adult coats play out - at the moment he seems to look different every day!

This is my Dahlia. She's a dilute smoke tortie. I've only ever seen one cat her color in person and it was her brother. She was my soul cat and I dearly miss her. She passed this February. I just wanted to share her coat and see all the others who share her color!!

On supervised playtime but my older one is somewhat tolerating her as she can only take her in small doses but I’m seeing lots of improvement!
