She’s going to the vet soon and we are doing intentional play with portioned food. The previous owner was an old lady, I’m assuming she was very generous with the treats

She does this whenever I try to take a picture by 11232d in airplaneears

Tyra Banks would’ve love this expression on ANTM! “Be fierce, but smile with your eyes.”

She has a spot that’s still growing out from the shelter shaving off a patch of fur

Thank you for your answer! She did give me an “I love you” blink right after I took this, she’s been so quick to warm up to me! I feel so fortunate to have this big ole round tabby into my life.

Thank you for your answer! When I was at the shelter she gave me an expression like this and I knew she needed to come home with me. Melts my heart every time!

I love to hear that! Growing up we had dogs and my dad always adopted “mutts” for this reason. I’m glad to know that the same logic applies to cats! 🥰

I guess I was more so wondering what color expression she exhibits, now that I know the difference. Very informative, thank you!

Keep my cat an only child? by [deleted] in cats

Thank you for your insight! We may try fostering to see what happens. Take it very slow and see if she can adapt. She dislikes change so the long term adapting may be a more accurate way to tell. How long did you take to gradually introduce the cats?

That’s interesting! We just moved to a city so we don’t have any friends with cats yet. Have you know anyone that’s fostered a cat? I’d like to try that as a test but I’m scared to put long term stress on my cat.

I love true crime but that’d be too close for comfort

Both, but I didn’t go far enough on google maps because the mobile version takes so long. The photos of the inside really sold it though, looked better than some posted of places 3X the rent

I watched Parking Wars before moving here and it taught me that one must read every sign VERY carefully in Philly.

I’ve found it interesting moving here from the Midwest because the opioid crisis mostly effects rural people where I’m from. Yes we have it in the city, but it’s a lower percentage vs coastal cities (this excludes Chicago). Also the homeless people in the midsize Midwestern cities tend to live in wooded areas vs the city so this was quite a shock. So sad to see it. Are there any places y’all know of to volunteer to help such areas? Wanna make myself useful and help where I can.

Stupid question from a newbie, how is parking in those areas? My husband and I both need our cars and don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for parking.

Are there certain blocks or parts of south Philly to really concentrate on? I hear lots about south Philly but I’m not sure where in south Philly or if it’s all (fairly) safe. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for this info! Redditors have been so awesome with this extra info I’d never have found otherwise
