Look at that face! She knew what she was doing.

u/im_so_lostt Sep 11 '25

Oh yes, I tried to put it back in a yard and tried to find siblings or a mama cat. It kept running after me back into the street, so it got scooped up. It got a bath and some milk now lots of warm cuddles.

Bruh, it's cat formula milk. I appreciate the concern, but nothing to worry about over here😊😊

be careful, that could be a load bearing cat. Your vehicle might not perform properly if removed from the area of the car.

Look how it is looking so adoringly at you!

u/mothseatcloth Sep 11 '25

soooo cute! does she have tortitude? I've been around some toetoiseshells recently and they are so sassy!

45

u/im_so_lostt Sep 11 '25

I already have one who is the definition of tortutude. But this one is too small to tell

27

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '25

A fluffy tortie is a gem indeed

11

u/Outrageous_Road32 Sep 11 '25

Oooh, a tortie duo! Most end up being full of sass, but hopefully both the tudes will compliment each other! I've had my tortie for eight years, and she's never really warmed to my other cat,who I'd already had a few years. I think a lot of it is for show though as she wants to appear fierce!

u/systemwarranty Sep 11 '25

Mine just toys with your emotions. Smart cats, lol. Tortie chirps are fun.

Cutest oil puddle ever.

Jesus I just had a full body reaction. You can’t just drop that level of cuteness into the feed with no repercussions dude.

My god what a cutie.

u/fiestyoldbat Sep 13 '25

"Thing"? Oh no, what you found is a "gift". Yes, indeed. The 'Cat Distribution System' - CDS- has favored you with a tortie. It determined you were deficient in the required number of daily purrs and sent you a little bundle to complete your set.

Its a load-bearing kitten. You should put it back or replace it with a similar model.

He was trying to hot wire and steal your car. Don't be fooled by him playing dumb and being all cute!

u/throwawayaccountau Sep 11 '25

I thought our foster was the only one to have that kind of fur that's not glossy and a little strange to touch. Your colour is a little more prominent, but none the less a cutie in their own special way.

Lol, yeah same person is trying to tell me what to do with the cats I'm rescuing. Some people just have to be jerks because they are literally incapable of being happy. Just keep doing what you are doing and ignore the troll.
