New kitten! But i have a question, she HATES being picked up. But loves being petted and sleeping close to me? What does this mean


u/SupGapNgl

’Means that she's a cat . . . just don’t do it when not needed’


I am the Cat
it’s what i do...
sometimes it’s being Held by you
n sometimes Not -
i’ll let you know,
then
back
down
on the floor
i’ll go...
for you should be a simple task -
don’t pick me up
unless i Ask..
n then i’ll maybe take a nap,
n choose
or not
your human lap
but when you lie down on your bed,
i’ll choose to lie
on You
instead
n as we drifting off to sleep,
you’ll know
I’m CAT...
you’re Mine
to
Keep

I am the Cat - is what I do,
these gReEbLeS are not seen by you...
they floating, scattered in the air,
i like to try ‘n catch them there ;}
so skillful reaching with my paws,
they slip right thru my murder claws...
i sometimes see them in the day -
they come around
n like to play...
but when the dark begins to fall,
then come the nastiest of all!
they linger in the shadows then,
they dart away,
n come again!
they taunt, as ‘round the corners wait,
n laugh at Squeals of my FrUsTrAte...
then thru the air, so silent fly...
them Heckin gReEbLeS
Never
Die!

’We’re fostering this tiny (2,5 years and 2,5 kilos) void who came from a horrible hoarder home. At the shelter she was terrified and completely frozen with fear. So we took her home. We spent the first week just getting her used to our voices and she spent it in the corner under the couch. She ate, drank and used the litter box as well as explored the space at night. So very normal cat behavior lol The second week I started feeding her from a spoon and sloooowly getting her to come closer to me. And today she poked her head out ❤️ I’m so damn proud of her and I think she’s gonna be a foster fail for us. She doesn’t know how to play but I still try everyday and she’s definitely interested. Been using several different toys. The progress is amazing’

the bounce of the wheels matched the beat of my heart
Excited by All the new scenes that flashed by -

We adopted this adult male Friday, he has not eaten or moved. Set up a camera to watch and give him his space to settle down. Variety’s of food (wet, dry, tuna, milk, water bowl, water fountain, treats, etc). He’s very scared and not at all lethargic. What can we do for him?


u/R8er-Fan

’A large box tipped over on its side, so he can feel unobserved might encourage him to eat a little something.’


don’t spy on me, human, cuz i’m kinda shy
a box would be cozy, an opened up side,
where i can watch You,
or, if i want,
hide...
it takes getting used to, my heart has to heal
i’m older, it’s New this thing ‘love’ that i feel...
i hunger for comfort, n maybe a snack
just give me some time

there's souls that are selfless who walk among men,
...some never notice....
Some call them 'best friend'...
some never are lucky enough to have known
the Love of a Dog -
one that they call 'their own'
no matter their size, if they're big or they're small,
you're blessed with a Dog
who loves You Best of all
sadly, their time is too short here on earth,

Stay beside me, kitten, i will show you where to sit
(there’s room up here for both of us - we’re Cats, we always fit)
this where the human spends his time - this place his special spot
he warms his buns, but when he leaves
he leaves behind a lot
so if you get up quickly, n you curl up in his chair
you’ll feel the warm! you’ll smell his scent - it’s almost like he’s there
when he comes back, don’t worry - he might act like DiSaPpRoVe,
that’s when you stare with BIGGEST eyes

Old Man Dog Norman (17yrs) - Lost My Friend This Past May


u/mightymaxx

’This picture is when he was a young man. Yes, he is warming his junk on the heater. He was with us for 17 years and it was a great run. He was absolutely the naughtiest dog I have ever known and he was my best friend. I waited so long to post this because I (and my family) have really struggled without him. I feel we are finally starting to move on, but it's hard. He deserved a sendoff on r/oldmandog as his previous posts were always well received. Norman has been a fixture in our life through so much. We got him just a few years after getting married. He was a birthday gift to me from my wife. I named him after my favorite cartoon character from Mighty Max…I had the name picked out since I was 14. Norm buddy, wherever you are I know you are no longer in pain. I hope you are dumping trash cans and peeing on stuff you aren’t supposed to. He was a friend, a brother, and a very good boy. We miss him very very much. *edit for grammar*’


Remember me, human - your best friend, ol’ Norm,
sitting by heaters to keep my junk warm ;@)
17 years - yes, i had a Great run...
So full of mischief (but that made it fun!)
there’s much that we plotted - together, we two,
my life was so great cause i shared it with You!
dumping out trash - through the garbage i’d go,
peeing in places (that never would show...)
you knew i was naughty, but never would scold,
(oh, the secrets we shared, because You never told!)
Tell the famlee i love them, n now i’m at rest
(but never forget, friend,
i loved You
the best...)

the wraps n ribbons soon appeared,
(was i to be ‘boxed up’, i feared??)
n then you said ‘we need to see
dear SaNtA by the Christmas tree!
a line of humans stood to wait,
they said ’Your turn!!
i thought
oh, GrEaT... :/

my sudden feel
of Happiness
his big strong arms, all dressed in fur,
a comfort suddenly occur....

i pulled out the one that was Certain for me!
i started out thinking i’d just take a peek...
but the next thing I knew
All the TeNNiS BaLLs Leaked!
they spilled n they scattered all over the floor,
(i thought mom n dad would be Angry for sure...)
so when they got home - with my PuPpY DoG eyes,
i pleaded Most Sorry to ruin ‘surprise’
a pat on my head, n their soft gentle touch,
i know they forgive me,
n Love me so much!

’My antlers hurt…’


i dropped from the reigns when returning the sleigh
the others flew off - i could see them all go,
i fell to the ground, n was buried in snow!
but then - Prancer Saw me! I saw him drop, too
’Hang on, dear friend Vixen! I’m waiting for You!
n then, out of nowhere, the humans appeared
they yelled ’Keep your Head up - we’re Friends!’ as they neared
they pulled on my antlers with all of their might,
Prancer looked on - i knew i’d be all right!
determined to free me from my snowy grave,
the Kindness of friends is what kept me so brave
at last they succeeded! i wobbled away,
a lesson was learned on that cold snowy day
when things look the darkest there’s Hope if you find
the love of a Friend
who won’t leave you

i sit n wait here by the door
when you are not around
the quietness i can’t ignore -
i hate the lonely sound...
i listen as you drive away,
n then the feelings start
there’s no one here who wants to play -
it breaks my kitty heart...
then it wouldn’t be so bad...
a sister or a brother ?
either one, i would be glad
cuz every time i watch you go,
i don’t know what to do :{
when you’ll return i never know -
a friend
would help me through

u/JMurker315

’…by the time we came back they were all gone. I guess she carried them all out one by one through the window.’


stay quiet, kits -
we’ll disappear...
Out the window...
down below...
we cannot trust the humans yet,
you’re still too young
to be
a ‘pet’...
i’ll raise you all the best i can,
but someday you will understand
that i must leave you all behind,
n hope a human friend you’ll find...
until that time, i’ll keep you calm,
just promise you’ll remember
Mom....
they choose the kittens over me,
but in my heart
you’ll Always be

This chimp was born with broken ribs, had pneumonia and was abandoned by his own mother. This couple raised him and showed him love. This is how he reacts whenever he sees them now!


u/JaredisaCase

’…these folks provided great foster care for an injured baby chimp and surrendered him to a much more appropriate habitat when he was big enough’


You knew you couldn’t keep me, but you raised me while you could
so patiently you helped me heal, n taught me to be Good
you brought me to a better place - a safer place to be,
i have a better chance at life
because you first
Loved Me
there’s humans who are special friends, who try their very best
who give a chance to animals abandoned by the rest
for some of us, our only chance to have a brand new start
I thank you, friends -
Forever
you will stay
inside my heart!
