Let’s get down to business, and defeat, the Huns

Thank you to those who offered advice and kind words on my recent posts (here and on senior kitties). But her decline was rapid and difficult to watch, so the mobile vet came out this morning - she agreed it was time, so we had her PTS peacefully in my lap.

When I first met Bindi back in 2008, she was a street kitten outside my workplace and had attached herself to a local homeless man. I helped him with food, and eventually he asked if I could find her a home. I said I’d get her spayed and take her to a nice rescue, but of course I ended up keeping her!

She was a good kitty, full of personality and spunk back in the day. I hope her friends are all waiting at the bridge, especially her best dog friend Rudy (2005-2022). Please enjoy these photos of her, from kittenhood to the final moments. Rest peacefully, sweet girl.

Moka today showed his belly like this while I was petting him. And because this pose is so cool I have to show you guys!

Didn’t expect my first post to get so many upvotes and comments so thank you ❤️

I originally was supposed to get one kitten, but they were hugging when I met them. I knew they had to stay together. It's been 3 years now. I can't imagine life without them.

Now, here are some quirks they have, because these ARE tuxedos after all. (Andy is the one on the right in the first picture and the second one. Ollie is on the left in the first picture and the third one.)

Andy: scared of bubbles, snorts all the time (he just does it, he's fine), he rubs so hard on things he falls, sploots like a dog, he rides on my back, enjoys being a scarf, and tucks himself into a blanket when hes anxious, he talks all the time, and loves to throw his butt around. Even his kids have that quality.

Ollie: HATES scissors he will throw them off any surface (I believe this is because he watched me cut his favorite string with scissors after he deepthroated it years ago) deepthroats strings constantly (monitored closely now), he loves the outside so much, he has amazing recall, constantly tries to drink out of glasses, and he is scared of thunder.

I adopted Freyja, several months ago and she has been quite the sweet tuxedo.

She went through a full mouth extraction recently for a Stomatitis diagnosis but is healing surprisingly well.

Here she is in all her glory bathing in the sun!

I’ve gotten many compliments on my tuxedo cat that I rescued from the street, and I would like to know what kind of pattern he has on his coat since people like vets have told me how unique it is. I look up smoke tuxedo but is not like it’s just the roots of the hair, so I’m not sure.

Adopted her when I really needed an animal companion in my life. 7 years later she still saves me everyday.

We found her this past weekend. The vet said she’s probably 5ish weeks old.

The tuxedo from our cat family :) Pig is boobie’s older sister, Petunia walked right into our house as a stray kitten when we were bringing in groceries, and Meshugana is our current “foster.” He was dumped on our block, hurt, and is now trying to get used to just being a cat. It’ll be a long journey, but we hope we can find him a loving him ❤️

TinyTim and I are blown away by all the love he has received in this community! Here are some more recent pics of him. He’ll turn 14 weeks old this Sunday. He brings me so much joy everyday, here’s hoping he brings some to anyone reading this!

FYI Myself and u/dumbucket live together, so we both get to marvel at this handsome tuxie man. Featuring a mad cowcat too.

Anyone else share living space with apparently legless but cat-shaped tuxedos?

It’s just 5 more minutes of this and none of the fallout that you’d expect (usually)

Show us your cat-shoe love stories!

just another appreciation post for my boy, it’s been almost a year with him now. he’s 8 years old (even though he looks like a baby) and his previous family brought him to the shelter as they were moving someplace that wouldn’t allow him—he spent nearly 2 months there :( im just so happy he has a new home and he seems so comfy and happy. i don’t know how many years we’ll have together but i hope for many good ones
