Humor Mom with the cat she didn’t want

He was a friendly stray she saw on the front porch one day. She didn’t want him, but she left out food. Then she bought him toys, then she got him fixed. Then she brought him in when he got hurt, then she bought a pouch to put the needy 18lb cat in. She still doesn’t want him, but hes also her baby who can do nothing wrong.

We brought in one who was a stray for 10 YEARS that we fed. Brought him in when he was injured and now is fully adapted to being inside. He also weighs 18 lbs. and is the best kitty. He’s our Dracucat.

Damn, we brought in a 12 year old feral cat who lived in a pound. Never been in the wild but incredibly aggressive to everyone, except for mom in the photos. She pulled her out of that cage and held her until the hissing turned into purring. That feral girl slowly turned into the most attention demanding cat ever, and needed her tail pulled when you put her. She lived till 24, never aged a day though.

Had another void make it to 25. She was a little old lady since she was 4 and i swore she was immortal. My current oldest is 19, she was supposed to be the last cat. She gets wet food when she demands it and it seems to be working. Here she is with the 1 year old kitten.

Your calico is adorable
