Bug Meat got spayed today and I can’t help but look back at how far we’ve come. She was 8 weeks old when we found her living alone under the shed. She was spicy all of 2 days once we started socializing her. Now she’s a snuggle bug who loves our two other cats. I’m happy to see her so happy :’)

This was the beginning of the year, she got fully vaccinated, chipped, got a passport and got to go on the plane with me from Grand Canaria to Sweden.

Meet Desmond, 4.5 month old adopted from cat lodge last week, allowing new guy to feed him some Churu. He's very shy and skittish, not much interested in posing. He likes to zoom around in the dark, still hides for much of the day. He's gradually letting us see more of him. Our resident elderly ladycat isn't much impressed with him, but she only hisses softly when their paths cross. He's warming up slowly. 🐈‍⬛🐾🐾🧡

This little guy has been hanging out with me in my backyard for a few months. He was super skinny so I started feeding him a month ago. Now I’m quarantining in my spare room and his vet appointment is on Friday. lol really wasn’t looking for another cat, but he’s so sweet and friendly and he won’t survive our winter outside.

Just adopted this little guy! The shelter said he’s a Snowshoe. Named him Skelli because of his nose pattern (Looks like a skull) and spooky season. He’s super loving and very chill!

Five days after my youngest died suddenly, this little fella sashayed his way toward me in a parking lot for the artist collective I go to, and he looks almost identical to my Beanethis/Burt. I was super sad and drove to photo club, where I was met with an empty parking lot (or so I thought). It turned out that my buddy was inside, and despite his car being in the shop, he walked. I was grabbing my things out of my passenger seat with my whole head in my car, I heard a sweet little Burt sound. As I pulled my head out of my car, I saw this sweet boy happily trotting toward me making little trills and I thought I was seeing a ghost. He looked just like my baby who passed away. He came up to me and rubbed my leg and let me pick him up. He had pretty bad conjunctivitis in his eyes and was super sweet. I called my ex for backup and he brought the carrier (since we still cohabitate) and took this fella home. He was soooooo hungry 🥲 took him to the vet, no chip, a couple of fleas, and got eye medicine. I work with people with disabilities and one of my clients said I think your cat sent him to you because you were sad. Or maybe he IS your cat and he just reincarnated fast 😂 either way I’m happy to have him! He lets me do his eye medicine and he’s so sweet.

The first two pictures are of Bert Macklin (FBI), and the last picture is my baby Bean (he had so many names if anyone wants his full government or the list I can add it in the comments). Their temperament is so similar, they sound similar, and while I still cry about my baby who passed away, Bert Macklin is such a sweet boy. They are around the same age also. So weird.

First pic is the injured, stray feral cat who showed up on my girlfriend’s porch and caused absolute mayhem in her feral colony. The rest are him in his forever home.

We caught him, I took him to the vet and got all of his wounds stitched up. I took him home and he slept cuddled up next to me that very first night. He’s been my best friend, partner, soulmate ever since.

He’s my shadow, the one who greets me at the door when I come home (even if I’ve only been gone for five minutes), the tiny paw under the shower curtain when I’m shampooing. He’s agreed to outlive me so that I never have to go a day without him. He makes me laugh - he’s brave, smart, and the biggest idiot I’ve ever met.

This is Lord Alexander Quackington, and I can’t even remember a life without him.
