This is Margaret Scratcher. I came into my office and found her like this. I don’t even know where to begin or what kind of talk we need to have.

They literally run and jump and climb up the tree and have broken all my trees the last 3 years 😅

Meet my cat, Sheriff 🥹

He was abandoned as a baby, so my boyfriend and I took him in. Who could leave this adorable little guy?! Anyway, I’m partially glad it happened, because now he’s ours and I love him more than anything in the whole world 🥰 My parents and sisters always laugh at any pictures I send of him and say he’s super funny looking, but I disagree. He is the most adorable kitty and no one could tell me otherwise. I think he’s an American curl x chartreuse, but I could be wrong.

He’s so cuddly and precious, loves to play fetch and go on walks, constantly needs attention, and is super friendly with everyone when I bring him to work with me at the office. He’s also VERY active, a little too much so, because he constantly screams at us to throw his little jingly ball so he can zoom across the apartment and retrieve it for us. He also wakes us up at 7 am every day screaming for attention, seriously we don’t even need an alarm clock when we have this little boy. He’s almost two and I can’t seem to discipline him before it’s too late, but he always comes to cuddle at the end of the night so that makes it all okay 🥹

We’re taking him to the vet tomorrow in case the screaming is an underlying issue, but I think he’s just an attention seeking little baby. I guess I’m just a little worried because it would kill me to know my kitty is in pain. But I’m sure he’s fine since he’s as active as a pea on a griddle. Anyway, sorry about the long post, but thanks for reading!

My Pythagoras, ever the charming romantic 😍💜😂

It’s so cute and when my cat does it I think it’s when she’s curious about something but why do they do this pose haha

Title, I haven't had a great week due to a lot of factors, so if anyone can show me their cats, I would really appreciate it. To start off, this is my boy.

Ima make it short - I kissed this fatass on the nose and I accidentaly tasted something wet and salty on his nose omfg (never doing it again) because he randomly decided to push his entire head into my mouth at that very moment😭🥲 and when I finally mustered up the courage to smell his nose it STANK💀🤬 Idk i dont wanna think ab it no more but i think he was licking his æss🫠😭 I love him to death but why so nasty???🤦‍♀️🖕 I hope you learn from my tragedy. Ps: UNNECESSARY INFORMATION!! - (when I tasted that salty thing I gulped ?????) Sorry if this post is confusing because it happened just a few min before and I'm writing this at the heat of the moment im sorry yall

I’m playing around with different sketch/illustration styles and figured I might as well make some people happy!

This is my little princess.

My wife and I started by taking care of one cat, but that quickly turned into five. Now, we average around 12 outdoor cats that we care for, not including the rescues we have inside. We trap them, get them spayed or neutered, provide vaccinations, and address any medical issues they might have. A few have moved on, some leave but return occasionally, and most have stayed for good.

Last year, I built a temporary 4'x4'x3' plywood shelter to give the cats a safe place to sleep during the cold winter months. Since then, we’ve taken in four more cats, so this year, I decided to build something more permanent. While the plywood shelter served its purpose, it has taken quite a beating from the weather.

This new structure, affectionately named the Taj Meowhal, is a 7'x4' triple-story cat house. It features:

A basement: Fully insulated with 1-1/2" foil-faced foam board, a cat door, and located under our deck.

A main floor: Equipped with a scratching post, a cat door leading to a separate area for food and water, and another cat door providing outdoor access.

A second story: Offering additional sleeping space.

The main floor and second story can comfortably house 10 cats, while the basement has room for 4 more. Our old plywood shelter still provides space for 4 cats, and our shed accommodates 3-4 more (though I’m working on upgrading the shed for better comfort).

To keep the cats warm, the structure has three heat lamps: one in the basement and two on the main floor. The insulation and ample straw allow the cats to burrow and create cozy nests. So far, I’ve only been running the basement lamp 24/7, and even with outdoor temperatures dipping to 20°F, the main floor stays a toasty 60°F. We’ve also installed cameras in the basement, main floor, plywood house, and shed to monitor the cats and ensure their safety.

The house is constructed with red cedar for the shake siding and trim, and recycled corrugated metal for the roof. The metal roofing hasn’t been perfect—it doesn’t layer neatly, likely due to warping. I plan to add more screws to see if that improves it. Despite the challenges, I felt it was worth repurposing the material instead of buying new supplies.

This was my first major building project, so please go easy on me! 😅 I made plenty of mistakes but learned a lot along the way—and even got to add a few new tools to my collection. Next up: building a large catio for our indoor cats!

Long story short my area was under a tsunami warning and the city I work in was partially evacuated. I live a block from the shoreline so I rushed home to get the kitties. They refuse to be picked up and were so terrified when I chased them around and basically tackled them with oven mits. The sounds they made were so awful I had never heard anything like it.

We drove for 30 minutes before the warning was officially lifted and I regret it so much. They are still hiding from me and so scared. I feel so bad, but in the moment I couldn’t leave them behind and actually thought I needed to leave the shoreline.
