A feral cat that I’ve been working with has finally built up enough trust to sit on my lap.


u/clink_182

i watched you for awhile, but it's just been from afar. . .
n finally i think i know how safe you really are
i am the cat - still working on this 'trust' thing that i lack
but each move i make closer, i know there's no turning back . . .
this gentle man is kind - he seems much better than the rest
of any other human, this one here treats me the best
so maybe if i sit real still upon this lap of his
i'll learn about what friends are,
n, for once,
just what
'Love' is . . .

This dad did not want a puppy


u/mac_is_crack

’... I love my dad’


he said he didn't want me, yup - before we even met
cuz dads are often like that, but then most times they forget...
so there i was - a little pup, so new, n scared, n small
but when he first laid eyes on me
he loved me best of all
now every day the two of us grow closer than before
he makes me feel so special, n he couldn't love me more!
my family is wonderful! they're like a dream come true
(but Best of all - i love my dad -
n daddy Loves me, too!)

It is easy to teach a human kindness, but it is much harder to reteach them when they have already learned to be cruel


u/lnfinity

’I expected this to go horribly wrong, I am happy to say I was surprised...’


human, you surprise me! sometimes people can be mean....
such awful ways you treat us - so much wrong that we have seen
we're mostly peaceful creatures, who just want to share the earth
we hope the older humans teach the younger ones from birth
a kinder way with animals, more thoughtful and gentile
the caring way you treat us, just like humans - we can Feel!
it's cautious understanding, and a trust we have to learn -
treat All your friends the way You'd want their treatment in return!

’Hugs for the old man dog. You can still talk to your dog. He may not hear you in the physical sense, but I fully believe that he will get the gist of what you are saying anyway, because he can still read your body language, etc. Dogs are good like that. :)’


i talk to my dog, even tho he can't hear,
but i know he knows what i say...
when no one else listens, n no one is near
my dog looks at me, anyway...
n all that i tell him, n all that comes out
are things that must Really be said!
he's staring intently, n i have no doubt
that he Hears me - he's cocking his head . . . ;)
the times that i've rambled to get off my chest
the things that i've often thought of
they're words to some people - unspoken, at best...
but all that my dog hears
is Love
edit: forLou;@)
so when you are talking, friend, smile at your Lou -
you'll make his dog heart fill with joy!
he'll know what you're saying, n know that it's true:
you're telling him he's a GOOD BOY !!

’This is [Riot The Red Fox](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCizv5EQ65BGWZz7KBwc9-WA), and not some random wild fox sneaking into a backyard. This is even from their [most popular video](https://youtu.be/bgrGbnxKpW4), showing off the (at the time) new tunnel that they provided specifically for Riot. If I recall correctly, Riot is a rescue from a fur farm and cannot be released into the wild. More recently, the fur family has been growing with a few more rescued foxes. Not too many videos of them all have shown up on YouTube, but they do have on Instragram @kristenspack.’


i'm Riot the fox, n so perfect my name,
this dog my Best friend - we love playing this game!
the humans they made us a tunnel to share -
i hide deep inside, but the dog don't know where....
he Never gets tired from this easiest trick -
i'm sly - i'm a Fox - but the dog not so 'quick'....
when i disappear he so easy to fool,
he pounce n he tries, but he stand there n drool....
so always in one end, then sneak out the other
i Love this darn doggo - he's just like a brother!
i know in my foxhole i'm safe with him there
Always protecting
with loving dog care!

Pigeon Steals Poppies To Make Its Home At The Australian War Memorial


u/OThinkingDungeons

’Fitting since it’s Remembrance Day here in Australia, and there were carrier pigeons used in WW1.’


now i lay me down to sleep,
these flowers here i gonna keep
the humans come n lay them round -
so many 'pretties' i have found!
they cheery red, n placed about
(i think i help the humans out...)
their flowers bringing life once more -
a tiny nest upon the floor!
each human hand that placed them there
was full of gentle loving care
for one small bird, a cozy spot
(i don't have much, but this i've got)
it seems a fitting place to rest -
i feel their love
n i feel

u/Scantfire39

’That should last you all day, kiddo’


i am the kit, so very small,
my momma stands above
don't ever ask for much at all -
just for the momma's Love!
with hopeful eyes, i gaze at hers
'...perhaps a littlekiss?'
she answers me with gentle purrrs -
(oh, i can't wait for this !)
n so i sit so very still,
her tongue aims for my head
but then, she goes in, for the kill -
i think
my Face
is
DEAD!

n then he'll get down n he'll play on the floor!
he'll play with you first, but i know it's ok -
he missed you n mommy when he was away
n then, when he stands, he will carry you up
you'll laugh n you'll squeal, n he'll say 'hello, pup!'

you're just a small human, n you need more care
(but later, before me, they'll put you to bed...

’RataTOOLie’


i am the mouse - so tidy me
they call me Ra-ta-ta-Toolie!
the human scatters everywhere -
i straighten up when he's not there
the pieces i can handle best
i pick them up n leave the rest
recording me on 'rodent cam'
no one is stirring - i still am ;)
the man must learn that when he's thru
he's got one final thing to do -
to keep his tools neat as a pin,
then put them back inside the bin!
i may be small, but i am mighty -
I know how
to keep things
tidy!

Swan I saved while driving on my rural delivery route. I’ve saved many creatures but he’s my favorite to date.


so there i was - abandoned, me
injured, lying helplessly...
what was the chance someone would save?
but then, this friend, her time she gave
imagine - just a passerby
who wondered why i couldn't fly!
she picked me up - we took a ride
(astonishment i could not hide!)
there are surely angels here -
you'll know it when you find one near
no 'ugly duck' she saw that day
but one in need - she found a way!
i'm thankful there are humans who
just know
the right thing
they should do

Some things are worth waiting for the older that we get
like someone who will love you that you haven't even met
n as the years are passing, n you think it's not for you
then someone comes along n, maybe, makes your dreams come true
so there i was, an older dog, whose life was passing by
my 'best years' were behind me now - would anybody try?
but someone found me worthy of the love they had to give
I'll love You now, my human friend
as Long as i can live!
n even ever after, cuz you gave me a new start -
forevermore, i promise
i will stay
inside your heart

Look at this picture n what do you see?
a vision of beauty, or do you see me ?

it may be a 'vista', but some realize
a 'picture's' a postcard, as many can see
but what makes it special -

is hard for me to reach, n there is nobody aroun...
when suddenly, a gentle friend leans down n cups his hands
he lets me drink the water, n i know
he understands
there's angels here among us that we walk with every day
but we don't know when they'll appear, or how long they can stay
you gave me drink when i had thirst -
you only think of others first
these friends who give us comfort share a special kind of love
they maybe look like humans,

if i could choose one, it is you
you're gentle n kind, you're not scary at all
i think i can 'bond' with you, too...

Once upon a time so dreary, while I hungered, weak and weary,
Over a curious strand of grass, forgotten on the floor...
While I plotted, starving, nearly - suddenly - a tapping, clearly
As of beggars rudely rapping, rapping at my chamber door....
stopped and stuttered -
"Only this and nothing more.”
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
Hungry, too, these pigs - my brothers - should I share my food with others?!
Hesitant, I let them borrow - soon regretted, to my sorrow
As they gobbled, fat and greedy - I decided I'M MORE NEEDY!!
From their mouths the food I've taken - learned a lesson, been awaken
Will I share again?!
...no,
NEVERMORE !

i was a lucky one - rescued at birth,
so God let me stay for awhile here on earth
but angels aren't meant to stay earthbound for long,
i came with a message of hope to be strong!
be strong for the animal friends there in need
in need of a home, n a bed n some feed
i'm seen by millions, but others have none
perhaps You can make them your 'special someone'?
an awwsome new start, for both you n a pet!
they're out there n waiting - you haven't met yet
from the smallest beginnings, like my 'Lil Bub' start,
find a pet friend to love!
they'll move in
to your heart

’I want a dog so badly. I moved out of my parents house about 13 years ago and I’ve desperately wanted a dog but waited and waited until I was in a good situation to give a dog the best life I could. Waited til I had a good paying job and plenty of money in savings, then moved into a place with a big yard and worked things out with my employer so the two days per week that I had to go into the office, I could bring the dog with me so it would never be alone all day. Everything was finally perfectly lined up so I started looking for a dog and ended up falling in love with this sweet pupper that was rescued minutes before it was to be slaughtered at a Korean dog farm. Bought everything I needed and woke up the morning I was set to bring him home like a kid on Christmas. As I was getting ready to leave I got a call from my employer asking me to come in ASAP. They told me my company was shutting down and they were laying everyone off effective immediately. I had no choice but to back out of the adoption (which was over $1K) and it was absolutely heartbreaking. I don’t know why I’m sharing this but now every time I see a cute pup like this I get really bummed out.’


your time is gonna happen, friend - you'll know it when it's right
it may not be the time you want, but it will be alright!
it's sometimes when you least expect, the stars will be aligned
i hope it's soon - it's worth the wait
the perfect friend
you'll find
it may not be a pedigree, or what you Thought you'd want
sometimes it gets discouraging when you are 'on the hunt'...
you'll know it when you find him, n he'll be your dream come true
a Lucky doggo it will be
who's coming home
with You!

'they pee n poop all over, n they bark n whine at night'
'the vet bills are ridiculous! sometimes they even bite!'
but mom n kids defied him, n they brought me home one day
the dad - he acted angry n he said i couldn't stay...
i think i saw him peeking, checking in my crate at night
n sometimes when i cried he said 'dont worry, its all right....'
i got a little bigger n i learned a game called 'ball'
(i loved it when the daddy played - he threw it best of all!)
the kids - they got so busy, always on the phone they'd talk
but dad - he always found the time to take me for a walk
now every night, i watch for him to come back home, n then

n if i'm ever in the mood, i sometimes let them play

Dog spelled backwards is god [OC]


u/GoofyGodsComics

There has not been a single time that iv entered my house, where my dogs didnt react like it was the best thing thats ever happened to them.'
there hasn't been a single time that i've come thru the door
where dogs have not reacted like they couldn't love me more
there's nothing like that feeling when you're coming home from work
when something made you feel like you messed up, n you're a jerk
but as you walk up to the house, you see a pair of ears
a face looks out the window there (the one with all the smears)
an eager bark announcing that 'YOU'RE HOME!!' you hear inside
n then the rush you feel as the door is open wide
n suddenly your workday blues are gone, you realize -
your dog is there to greet you
n you're Perfect
in their eyes

to show you that i love you, and my love will never die
so watch for it! but children - in your hearts you must Believe

look forward to tomorrow,

no doubt, the human offers toy
but I must find things to destroy!
the human, clueless, sitting there
of my intentions - unaware
n so, before my day's begun
you better hope
that there is
sun . . . . .

He isn't as cute, photogenic, young or quirky as most Reddit cats, but my buddy Cigar always comes to hang for love and pets when I get home from work in the morning. He makes every day start clean and peaceful. I love the little guy.

The two that no one wanted from their respective litters are now the best of friends.


u/CaptainRAVE2

we were the kittens left behind,
nobody seemed to want
we never heard a word too kind
(some even called us 'runt'....)
but then a friend with loving heart -
they held us in their hand
n they gave us a brand new start
with gentle understand
for those of us who chosen last
well, we have feelings, too
but now the sad is in the past -
forever
we have
You!

u/Marten5892

’They are so polite and well spoken for being so little! My heart!’


remember me, remember please
when we were very small
the way we spoke and played with ease -
the greatest years of all!
and growing up, when times were rough
some things, i wished, unspoken
but life goes on and makes us tough
yet still
some hearts were broken....
for now we've gone our separate ways
we've grown, and live apart
such busy lives and crazy days
but still
you're in my heart
with parents gone and children grown
the years so quickly passing
i won't forget the love you've shown -
my brother
everlasting

the couch was so comfy, i laid down my head
the next thing i knew i was fast asleep, dreaming
then on the tv i could hear people Screaming!
my human said something about a ball dropping
the party was over, excitement was stopping
no clue what had happened, or why a big show,
but i brought My ball too, friend -
No ~~tak~~ Dropping,

they're young n they're older, some fancy, some not
we pet lovers all love to share what we got!
then someone may comment, n that's just a start
a makebelieve story then fills up my heart
the love n the loss in the life of a pet
for those who have had one
we'll never forget

You make it

’Take good care of him and never let his little annoying quirks let you get mad at him. 5 days ago at this time my wife and I were probably arguing over who's turn it was to get up and take our little man out to pee for the 400th time that night, just like every night for 12 years. 4 Days ago he was diagnosed with pneumonia. 2 days ago we lost him when the meds didn't work. I'd give a limb to hear that little shit bark at the door like he hasn't peed in a week again. I don't think I've ever been this sad. I'm an almost 40 year old man and multiple times since I've cried so loud it's silent.’


remember me, family - you both did your best
i want you to know that i'm finally at rest!
the years i was with you were happy n good,
please know that i stayed there as long as i could
it's hard to be strong when you jes wanna cry

I don't know the name of this cat or who owns it but we have been pals for nearly 2 years now. I go for walks around 5 am each morning and my here friend joins me, usually waiting to ambush me. I'm not friends with any of my neighbors but am friends with their pets lol


u/-SwiftGlassEater-

’I’m not friends with my neighbours, but I am friends with their pets...’


there's a certain ease with animals, cuz we don't have to talk
n when each day you step outside to take a quiet walk
a cat or dog that you don't own may walk along your side
they won't ask any questions, n there's nothing we must hide...
the neighbors - they are people, maybe 'friends' you haven't met
but somehow it's just easier to walk beside a pet
no judgement of the way you are, your background is unknown
so if you haven't had one yet
please get one
of your own!

oh, how i longed to watch my bird friends fly outside instead...
my human understood, n did his best to grant my wish
just look at what he brought for me - a bowl of magic fish!
now as i watch them swim around, these fish friends give me rest
they make me smile -
n I know with my human
I am blessed

Our cat came home after missing in the fires for 7 nights. She’s burnt but should live. We thought her lost when the fire consumed most of our property. Best feeling ever to walk out and see her alive.


’She’s lapping up her cuddles....’


they called me 'Angel' long before they knew i truly am
i'm lapping up their cuddles, as i'm comforting my fam
i don't know what was happening - i tried to run n hide
when everything around was Hot! it frightened us outside....
n all that i remember, as i wandered out there, then
i couldn't breathe, but if i stopped - would i get up again?
but then a voice - it told me No! it's not your time to leave!
your family has had enough - you will not make them grieve!
guided by a loving hand, for seven nights i roamed
determined to get back to them, i found my way back home!
they must've really missed me - they say i'm a wish come true
they'll Never know
the things i saw . . .
dear fam,
i missed you, too

Australian firefighter finds a baby kangaroo and saves it from bushfires


’...*this made me happy-cry’


there's a special kinda human - momma said we call them 'bros'
just how they come to be that way, nobody really knows
momma always told me 'there are few that we can trust,
but if they try to help you - if i'm gone, my babe - you must....'
so there i was outside, alone - i couldn't find my mom
this human came along n somehow made me feel so calm....
i think i did a happy-cry, not sure it was out loud,
but if my momma knows i'm safe
i'm Sure she'd be
So proud!

the thing that matters most of all, is that you stay alive -
it's then that you must find a friend to help you to survive!

Snowflower lived her entire 7 years at the shelter. We are her first and only family, We thought she may just be more comfortable as an "under the couch" kitty. After 3 months, she finally trusts us. This is the first ear scritch of many.

’I would die for snowflower...’


edit:inspired by u/BigBlondeButterknife -
dear Snowflower, i swear it's true -
i hope you know i'd die for you!
for seven years there, shelter bound
now finally - a family found!
we rescued you, but trust was slow,
it took some months for it to grow
beneath the couch you settled in,
but finally - your heart we win!
you're learning humans can be good -
enjoying scritches like you should
you died inside each year alone,
but now, with love you've never known
it's time, my friend for You to LIVE
n now My life
of Love
I give!

Stephen King’s Pet Sematary Remake Had Cats From Shelters Who Were Trained To Become Cat Actors


u/Jongletrib

’He looks handsome and proud with that tie...’


I'm wearin the tie - yeah, i'm handsome n Proud!
back in the joint ties were never allowed...
we street cats were scrawny, some scrappy n tough,
but one day i knew
i had just had enough...
i heard that the crews would come searching for us -
the ones they could 'train' n not put up a 'fuss'
so on best behavior, i stared in their soul
i did what they wanted, n I got the role!
now look at me here - I'm a big movie star!
but please don't forget where the shelter cats are...
n tho they may not get the 'fame' I dreamed of
all they want is a home
n somebody
to love

We completed a new puzzle, but our puppy managed to snag a piece and destroy it, so we had to improvise.


u/boyinawell

’This too shall pass...’


I ATE DIS PIECE
please don't be mad
(it really didn't taste too bad...)
i watched you work the puzzle there,
ignoring me, like you no care
so when a piece fell on the floor,
i grabbed it n ran out the door!
i thought you'd stop the puzzle then,
but you continued on again
not sure which end, but have no doubt
you'll get your piece when it comes out
n then my 'force' will be with you!
but it might smell
a bit likepoo.....

i am the kit - adorable,

but i don't listen what they say

like wolverine - my m u r d e r claws
are starting to extend...
they sinking in the carpet, but
there's Nothing they will spare
somewhere, someone - i donno what -
