look at that stare, he really does know...
all that you see, cat, above n below -
the mountains, the valleys, the clouds in the sky
the trees n the oceans, the birds flying by
they're all part of nature - this world we all share
we're such a small part, no one knows that we're there....
we share it together, like one beating heart!
but all the light touches, not one little part
can ever be owned, but admired, so fine

there's nothing that i'm gonna miss about my time with you
except for how the toilet paper hung there in the loo....
the simple way it held the roll, i sat n contemplated
(i sometimes even played with it while i sat there n waited...;)
an easy 'under/over', didn't matter, either way
no square would go to waste on it! the roll would always stay
the paper rolled off neatly - i'd replace it, just for fun!

At 19 I don’t see him in the window often, but today Marley enjoyed the sun.


u/Qu33nMe

i always loved the sunshine, in the window i would sit
i curl up my paws n feel the warm - a perfect fit!
but now that i am older, i don't always make the climb
content to curl up n nap inside i spend my time
today, again, the sun was shining brightly in the yard
i climbed up to my window seat - it wasn't very hard
memories of perching here came flooding back once more,
they warmed my heart n soul -
they make my life worth living for

u/Captjack1212

’Backstory: I'm a night clerk at a gas station with an hour left on my shift. Customer comes in needing help. He heard this little guy crying as he drove here. We both got gloves but little fella was so scared he kept attacking us. Out comes the friskies. The guy dabs his gloved finger in the juice at the cat *loves* it. Two minutes later the kitten is safely in a box with food and old t shirts.’


i am the kit - was rescued! what i night that i just had
i climbed inside a cozy spot, then things got Really bad!
the thing - it started moving! roaring, grinding - getting Hot

The Quokka. Possibly the happiest animal on earth


u/fabulous_shark

’To put it another way, moms can survive an attack and reproduce again, but babies can't.’


Despite their sweet and friendly nature, quokkas have a survival instinct that's downright brutal: If a mother is being pursued by a predator, she'll sacrifice her baby to save herself.
TL;DR....
we keep our babies nice n calm
til we become a psycho-mom
cuz if, ourselves, we must protect
that's when we gonna hit EJECT

Blind therapy cat working his magic

’**Background**: Therapy cat Donny helped his grandma through 17 radiation treatments by visiting her in the hospital: >Donny is a natural do-gooder. The 2-year-old rescue cat was born without eyes and with the neurological condition Cerebellar Hyperplasia, which causes him to wobble and fall over when he walks. > >These differences have never held Donny back. In fact, he is “the most charming cat in the world,” according to his rescuers at North Shore Animal League America (NSALA). > >Susan Smith thought so, too. When she saw a picture of Donny, Smith instantly knew she needed to meet this sweet feline, then just 3 months old. > >“Since I already had three blind cats I know it’s not an easy task to find a home for a special needs animal and this poor guy was born with a double whammy so my husband and I went to meet him,” Smith tells PEOPLE. “He was the happiest, go-lucky guy, running, bumping into things and yes, falling down. I asked my husband, ‘Do you think we should adopt him?’ and his answer was, ‘How can we not?’ ” **Source with full story and additional pics**: [people.com](https://people.com/pets/blind-cat-helps-his-grandma-get-cancer-free/)’

Someone threw this little guy over my aunt's fence. Looks like I have a kitten now. His name is Tribbles.


u/SharynDippity

’My first thought. I choose to believe this instead: ---- Tribbles was born nearby to a feral cat, Mittens. Mittens had grown to trust OP from the scraps they'd shared over the years, she knew OP was "one of the good ones". Mittens has spent the past week training Tribbles vigorously in the art of fence scaling. Today was the day, the day Tribbles was to climb the Great Fence and claim his forever kingdom. Mama cat watched with a tear in her eye as Tribbles crested the fence. >"Meow ^( promise to visit soon ) " >"Meow ^( love you son ) !" she bellowed as he disappeared. ----’


thank you u/CouldOfBeenGreat for the beautiful inspiration!
dear friend, it's me - Mittens, n please hear my plea
this smolkit is special - (i know that he'll be!)
it breaks my mom heart what i'm going to do,
but i really think he'll be much better with you....
you've always been kind, n you've treated me good -
you'll raise my sweet baby the way that you should!
so, soon he will scale the fence, to your side!
please tell him i love him! ...don'ttellhimicried.....

’The stray that struck gold*..’


i'll tell you a tale of the stray who struck gold -
a cat with the loneliest start
who couldn't believe how her life would unfold
by a friend with a generous heart
abandoned, neglected, she lived on the street
hungry, so dirty . . . alone
she never lost hope, or gave in to defeat
as she dreamed of a home of her own
then a human came by, took her in - a 'rescue'
made her Life just as Good as could be!
a magical ending - i swear it is true -
the 'cat who struck gold', friends,
is Me!

Found her all alone on the highway, after about 30 mins of coaxing and using a small rope to play with her I got her in my car, and she kinda crawled into my heart. Named her Sherbert :D first time cat owner. Wish me luck


’Yup, she was a bit fiesty at first. But playing with her, soft noises and a bit of lunch meat made her love me pretty quick. She purred the entire time on my shoulder home’


'life is a highway, travelled along...
if you're going my way, then let's share our song'
so now i am riding with you in your car
we'll travel together no matter how far
the engine is purring - oh no, that is me -
a smol kit - amazed with the new world i see!
don't know where we're going, wherever it is
but i have a HUMAN! (i guess i am his...?!)
so this is the day that our journey first start -

dear human - you're breaking my heart - can't you see ?!
you're holding the dog, but i wish it was me....
you don't even care 'bout the look in my eyes
ignore me - you Won't, 'friend' . . . do you realize
i know where the good dishes are, that you keep
i know i can break them - i know where you sleep
i know where your phone is you leave on the table
i'll reach EVERYTHING that i WANT - i am able!
n when you're asleep, i will strike - out of sight
you won't Ever know what goes BUMP in the night....
so hug that dog tight, 'friend' - you like when he's near ?

Had the urge to go to the shelter one day, and asked which cat had been there the longest. Kevin had been there three months and wasn’t likely to be adopted. He crawled right into my arms, cuddled and wouldn’t let go. He wakes me up from my PTSD nightmares and loves me unconditionally


u/reymus

’... pretty sure it wasn't that "Kevin wasn't likely to be adopted" - but rather that Kevin refused every other candidate 'cuz he knew you were coming.’


i'm Kevin the cat - yeah, i waited awhile
for someone who I found that needed a smile
some people came in didn't like how i sound
(i hope there's another cat maybe they found...)
but You were the first one who listened to me
understood that my 'purrs' were the best they could be
n now we're a match, made in heaven above
you Listen to me,
n I hear
your love

I Definitely have to give her reminders who is boss sometimes but shes a love bug for the most part! :)’

Meet Pumpkin! He “works” at the Athens, Ohio, Board of Elections & was voted 2019’s Best Athens Public Figure


u/huncamuncamouse

’He was also the winner of 2018's "Best Window Display." I lived in Athens for 6 years (it's where Ohio University is located), and I walked past him every day when I lived downtown. He loves to greet people and enjoys when his visitors leave notes in his guest book. Even more than that, he likes helping register people to vote! I miss him! When I tell people that Athens is like the Appalachian Stars Hollow, this is one of the reasons why. Here is a link to his origin story: [https://www.thepostathens.com/article/2017/10/how-pumpkin-went-from-ordinary-cat-to-athens-celebrity](https://www.thepostathens.com/article/2017/10/how-pumpkin-went-from-ordinary-cat-to-athens-celebrity)’


i'm Pumpkin the cat - i've a story to tell
(it all turns out fine, but did not start so well...)
i misbehaved badly when i was 'Pierre'
(n learned very quickly i shouldn't pee there!)
my human, he said 'I don't want him no more!'
n sadly, 'Pierre' was kicked out of the door
i felt so abandon, my cat heart was torn
but that's when a new chance - this Pumpkin was born!
the Board of Elections all voted me 'IN'
CELEBRITY CAT, now
my life's a Win WIN!

’The real gold at the end of the rainbow was the dogs we met along the way’


some search their whole life long in hopes to find a rainbow's end,
they think a pot of gold awaits, n in their mind pretend
that all the things they've longed for will be in that 'pot of gold'
but they are not believers in the things our hearts can hold
the memories of friends n pets we've met along the way
their gift will last within us - in our heart will always stay!
n when they leave the earth we share, there might be tears of rain
but rain will lead to rainbows -
loving memories
remain

My Rottweiler Gus is plenty social and likes other dogs, but for some reason when he met Fletcher (staffy) he blew a gasket and it was nothing but zoomies after the first sniff


u/Fishmike52

’...*"OMG U LOVE ZOOMS TOO?!??’


sometimes you meet that special friend
much better than the others
it's like you found your rainbow's end -
cuz now you're zoomie brothers!
a dog who knows the feeling of
the wind beneath his feet,
he's one who shares your zoomie love -
your dog-life is complete!
n so, to zoom forever more
you're 'best frens' from the start
cuz zooming is what life is for -
you Love
with All
your heart!

u/bruisedtonsilz

....so this is where my story starts - i crawled inside the hood
i didn't know the danger there, the warm felt kinda good
i meowed a bit, then fell asleep - i felt so all alone
i longed to have a family to call my very own...
the next thing i remember, then, the lid was opened wide
n suddenly a human picked me up from there inside!
n now i'm hearing words i only dreamed about before:
'We're keeping him! this baby kit is Ours,
forever more!'

The joy of motherhood.


’I’m a person mom and I have felt like this.’


they say 'CONGRATULATIONS!' on your baby girl or boy
you find it overwhelming, but your heart is full of joy
you do the best you can, (but no one Really shows you how...)
n life goes on, you both grow up, in to the here n now
then one day you'll look back n wonder if you did your best
you hope that they are happy, n you feel like you were blessed
but thoughts go back to babyhood, when they were very small
you wonder
will they ever know
you loved them
Best of all

u/GarnetAndOpal

’To anyone who has lost a pooch (or a kitty - he loves them too), this is my Luke. Lukie-Spookie. He was a smart, naughty dog - he ate all the things, including (and not limited to) dryer sheets, white chocolate, cat food, rabbit food, a can of sardines, a package of TimTams... He loved McDonald's Happy Meals with ice water. He licked the dishes in the dog-sitter's kitchen sink. He pooped in a neighbor's flower pot. He was the funniest, cuddliest doggo ever. He was a stray, hit by a car and left by the side of the road. Taking him to the vet was the one of the best things I have ever done. (Also, it was the only decision I could make. How could I not help him? Do you see those eyes?) Blowing kisses to my Lukie.’


remember him forever - 'Luke' - so naughty, but so smart
was always getting into things, but loved with all your heart!
you wouldn't change a thing about the little guy he was
a stray, along the roadside
but you saved him,
just because . . .
there's people who are special friends, that sometimes come along
who try their best for animals - to right what things are wrong
and for that simple life they save, if only one or two
they're truly angels here on earth

is You

’On the emotional stress: My first hospice dog died the same day I adopted her. Her name was Misty, a beautiful elderly shepherd who lived a rough life. I got her home, gave her a bath, treats, etc. 8 hours later, a tumor no one knew about burst. She died in my arms that night. It was awful and heartbreaking but I knew I’d have to keep up with this, and made it a tradition in Misty’s honor. If I hadn’t taken Misty home that day, she would have died alone in the shelter that night. And no dog deserves that. Every time I think about how hard this is to do, I think of Misty.’


remember me forever, how you held me in the night
you made me feel like i was home, n it would be all right..
we didn't know i had to leave, or how soon it would be
but momma dear, please don't be sad, cuz i knew you loved me. . .
your eyes may still get Misty when you think of me someday
remember me with happy tears as i went on my way
the Honor that you've blessed me with by saving other friends -
my memory lives forever

will never end!

This boy has been coming to our doorstep for the past five months. He's been nothing but sweet, even after being betrayed and manhandled into a crate. Only fitting that his new best life starts on National Cat Day ❤️


u/Johnson_B_Goode

’So our plan has been to bring him in to the local animal shelter since they work really closely with the local humane society to get him cleaned up both inside and out. We think that his tail might be broken since we haven't seen it really move much vertically, so he may end up with a nubbin. But other than that and the usual parasites and maybe ear mites, he seems to be in fairly good shape. We're not planning on having him as a part of our cat family since we currently have three (two boys and a little lady). But that's the same thing we said before we got our last one, so...’

i liked it just the way it was - why did it have to end ?
n then you tricked me in this crate . . . you say it's for the best
i guess i'm kinda tired, n i sure could use some rest . . .
don't know what lies ahead - you say i'll get the best of care

i just know i got turned around, n lost, n then i hid...
so scared i was, as days went by, n further i would roam
i wondered if my family missed me ? Would i get back home??
but then on Halloween it was a dark n stormy night....
yet in my heart, a sudden feel that it would be all right!
for in my darkest hour of fear, a light showed me the way
i followed where it lead - back Home!
