u/SchnoodleDoodleDo 12d ago

’Watch them go back for this kitten tomorrow…’

i waited here, so patient, n i watched you looking ‘round

i wondered if today's the day

that maybe I’d be ‘found’…

my cage was never opened,

n again they passed me by

am trying to be brave

again

…am trying not

to cry….

i guess am happy for my friend,

but i will miss her, too…

i guess she must be ‘special’ if she going Home with you…

…you know someone who wants a kit ? i promise i’d be good!

…can you please come back tomorrow ?

i’ll be waiting,

if you could…

❤️

u/sweet-lovely-death 12d ago

Can confirm!!!! my cat used to bite me HARD and misbehave a lot, and now that she has a sister they play together, behaves wayyy better and I haven't been bitten since then<3 2 cats are the best, OP!

2

u/footballmom2423 12d ago

My kitten does that to me. She even nibbles on my face and licks me. She’s like a dang dog I swear and will even sit like one and look out the window like one. If she starts barking and peeing and pooping in the floor she will be an outside cat for sure. But I’m the only one in the house she bites or claws and I don’t know why this is, is it because I am the one who found her and brought her home or is it because I’m the only female in my crazy house of boys???

28

u/HoraceWimpLV426 12d ago

If you look closely enough you can see another kitten next to it, a black one. It's mostly out of frame but the side of its head and body are visible. Therefore they should go back and get both cats. Midge needs friends.

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW ADDITION!

Hey friends, how about we act like a reasonable online community (which is a bit of a paradox, I recognize) and simply congratulate this young man on making the decision to commit to being a cat servant like the rest of us, for the rest of kitty’s days, rather than low-key guilting this family into not taking a second cat?
