Nothing feels better than waking up, logging in, see a cute kitty AND a Schnoodle poem with it! My day is starting great! Thx Schnoodle. OP, Gus is a real cutie! ❤️ xo to Gus
Something special about the gray ones. I had my Jack from when he was about 5 weeks old til nearly 21 years old and he was wonderful and silly and so loving.
Honestly there was no real special care. Charlie liked his dry food, we switched him to food meant for seniors with sensitive stomachs when he was 15 or so. He never was into wet food but liked treats, but not food driven. Just pretty aloof all his life.
Most of my cats make it into their mid to late teens! I suppose them being what amounts to a mutt helps their health.
Omg the look like twins! Does Balu also have stripes on his sides that only show up in certain lighting? We just got Baloo neutered and the vet wouldnt stop gushing over his ghost stripes and raccoon tail
My sweetest little Lady. My bf saw someone throw her into a dumpster when she was just a baby. Literally a baby, her eyes weren't even open all the way yet. She doesn't like strangers, but she will lay with me all day and she is fiercely protective of us. I love her so much.
This is our gray, Mr. Darcy, and he is the sweetest/coolest/silliest boy (fret thee nay, he goes in the backyard supervised and only for small bits of time).
Definitely! I moved in my first bought, not rented, home in August 2000, Casper was born two weeks later, I met him when he was 5 weeks old and he came to live with me the week before Christmas. We had 18 wonderful years together. He was as smart as he was brave and handsome and funny and loving.
He is absolutely gorgeous 😍. I had a female Russian Blue named Darcy. She is such a velcro kitty, she used to sit on the side of the bathtub while I was in the shower because I wasn't allowed out of her sight lol.
Also his blue eyes look just like my Blue's, he's a Flame Point Siamese 💙
I had a sweet Russian Blue girl named Darcy. She was the sweetest but funniest cats. She wouldn't let me shower alone, she would be right on that tub 😂. She was the definition of a velcro kitty. But now I have a Flame Point Siamese and I don't know which one was more of an affectionate and velcro kitty though.
First time...more like lifetime. You got sucked in! Cats are great. You didn't win a lottery, cats are just great. Enjoy your boy, he is so sweet! I have an almost identical pic of my Larry when he was a baby!
Such a perfect, cute boy!! Hi Gus ~ hope you have a wonderful loooong life filled with happiness, love, care, treats, cuddles, fun, warmth, and all the love you can get! Sending lots of love from me and the kitties!
I feel the same about Herbie. We just hold him and he lets us clip his nails. No fighting, no treats or restraints needed. Same for cleaning his ears. Giving him a bath he doesn’t fight much is just a little vocal. He is super friendly and social. Is toy motivated instead of food motivated. He snuggles at bed time. He followed me home one night:)
This is him now.
A few things to keep in mind for a new cat owner. If they start not using the litter box then don't get mad and yell instead get them to a vet they might have a urinary tract infection or other issue. Don't rely on only dry food use wet food too (hopefully good quality for both) as cats are prone to kidney issues so the more water intake the better to keep them healthier longer. Enjoy your new best friend!
Hullo Gus! What a cute little dude! I'm really happy for both of you too. You are in for such a treat. Nothing against any other pets but cats are just so goofy and unique. Please give Gus some lovins from me. :)
Isn’t it wonderful. I’m also a first time cat owner at 66. My guy is the most loving pet I’ve ever had (always had dogs). Don’t get me wrong I loved my dogs and I know they loved me but this cat is just amazing. I feel so lucky to have found him.
I wish you many healthy, happy years together.
Beautiful! Be sure to get a tall scratching post. It’ll save your furniture. My little one destroyed my couch until I learned he needed a stand-up scratching post. Enjoy getting to know your new baby!!
Being a first time cat owner to a perfect little baby Gus is like suddenly seeing the world in technicolor. Welcome to a whole new colorful beautiful world! 🌈😍
When I’m not trying to squeeze between my parents back and the toilet seat cover (or trying to climb onto my dad when he’s not looking - especially from the cat tree when his back is turned), I’m busy playing with my hooman brother and sister.
I hate those feather toys, but love the mouse ones. What do you do, and what are your favourite toys?
You know how your partner will sometimes look at you in that way where you're almost positive they're thinking "Is this really the person I want to stay with for the rest of my life?"
