Another mouth to feed

This skinny dude accosted me as I was leaving my studio... I told him that I’d take him in if he was still there when I get back. I swore when my best friend, Alice, passed away last June that I’d never take in another mammal, but this guy was so friendly and talkative, like climbing up my legs and walking with me like a puppy, and my daughter talks all the time about how badly she wants a cat in her life, and her 7th birthday is tomorrow... fuck.

I hope he has a home somewhere. I can’t handle it in the best of times, and certainly can’t now.

Good kitty! Seek out and destroy those cars with expired registration!

Yeah, my neighbor never drives the Scout, especially not now.

Awwww, keep us apprised! Any signs that he belonged to another household? It’ hard to know if he’s chipped or not...

He’s super skinny, clearly not being fed. Heartbreaking.

If you can get that kitty in a crate and drive to a vet or the pound, they’ll do a scan to make sure he’s not owned. The ‘rona makes this a bit hard though...

Yeah, there’s a shelter literally across the field. I guess we’ll see whether he’s still there when I get back.

oh man I wish I could take that guy for you. I really want a cat, my kids would love it, but wife isn’t so keen on it - our last cat was kind of a troublemaker.

I hope you can find the little fluffle again! He could use a loving home like the one you could provide! :)

I desperately miss having animals around. And having my daughter talking about how much she wants one doesn’t help.

He’s clearly one of the good ones.

Might’ve been a house cat that somebody abandoned if he is that friendly , poor thing :(

That was my thought. He was climbing into my lap.

One of my cats was a stray that similarly walked up to me one day. She was super skinny then, and is still super skinny 6 years later. Even with leaving food out for her to graze on, she just doesn’t eat much. Then again that’s super skinny compared to most overfed house cats (like my 18lb chonky boy) . She’s technically ideal weight.

Abandon all hope, there is no point resisting, you will be assimilated for the good of the collective to provide treats, catnip, belly rubs (when required, you will not be asked, but you will experience claws of dissatisfaction when not desired), several warm spots to sleep and for all this you will be treated with disdain and a semi passive acknowledgement of your existence from time to time.

Man, I’m gonna have a hard time saying no if I see him again.

I don't know that i could handle being sans pet for more than a month.

I don’t know that I’ll be able to say no to him if he’s still around.

Not yet. Yesterday was my daughter’s 7th birthday, so I didn’t go back to the studio for work. Will be back this afternoon/evening, we’ll see if he’s still hangin around...
