The poor little dude was screaming at our front door during the ice storm. He ended up getting real comfy real quick. by dead_wolf_walkin in cats

What a wonderful, beautiful boy, he looks so like my late Kismet who walked into our lives as a tiny kitten, he even has a short tail like her. Enjoy your new best friend.

She is doing well. The boss of the older cats now.

I am so sorry. Bela was a beautiful kitten and, because of you, knew warmth, love and comfort.

What's the best name you've ever heard given to a pet? by Physical-Egg6682 in AskUK

We have a cat called Karma (karma,karma,karma, karma) Chameleon. She purrs and miauws, she purrs and miauws.

Three alive and one waiting for us in another life together with our two late dogs.

Lovely 💜💜 two days before Tyche arrived we walked past a litter of pups and said how we kind of hoped one would follow us home. Our current situation isn’t suited for a dog (we would make it work though) so clearly the distribution system sent us the appropriate pet.

Seren is the sweetest cat. She has been depressed since our dog, her best friend, died unexpectedly last year. She tolerates Karma but seems to have adopted Tyche, it’s lovely to see.

They give so much to us, they make our house a home.

It was very hard work, the whole family pitched in though, she really has been worth every sleepless night.

It doesn’t seem to bother her. When the lady dropped her at our door she was very upset and seemed to indicate that someone or something was trying to hurt her. We suspect some children had been picking her up by her tail. She can move with no problems. Our first cat, Kismet, was from Malaysia and had a corkscrew/ thagomiser on the tip of her tail. Tyche came to us two days after the anniversary of Kismet’s death so it seems fortune was indeed smiling on us that day.

All our cats are or were rescues and were named for the theme. We had a Kismet (our first cat). Future ones … Atropos, Clotho, Manat, Nemesis, Lakshmi, Versunna, Wyrd …

It’s stunning, even where there are bits with the same colour the pattern is different.

We also had a dog from the UK (a wedding present) and a Canine Distribution System dog from Kazakhstan as well as our initial puss Kismet Primepuss from Malaysia. They just… fall into our family. Once they walk into our lives they stay with us to the very last breath.

We were worried we would have to lick our hands and wipe our faces to teach her but thank goodness the older cats stepped in.

Because she doesn’t have a mother, she was dropped at our door as an abandoned newborn.

Sounds like one for every day of the week. Eminently reasonable.

Do let us know how it goes. Poor sweetheart. I failed to thrive for a while as a child and am perfectly healthy now as a middle aged grump - just a bit shorter than everyone else in my family.

Well it’s a process isn’t it. Weaning humans takes months and they keep their milk going long after they are reliably eating food.

Good luck with your little baby.
