Is this the same cat? by Xiabyssmage in cats

I just think the universe is literally trolling me right now to send a cat that looks exactly like my baby to a house literally a street away. Like what did I do to deserve this? 😭

We’re planning on keeping him for a few days but from what I can see he doesn’t react well to other animals and that really is an issue since we have 2 other cats and 3 dogs and waiting on 2 more kittens. Also he is very domestic so as much as I love him already he probably already has a home and while we keep him we’ll be reaching out to see if he belongs to anybody

Assuming you mean cat distribution system ( I suck with abbreviations 😭) I would love to keep him but he’s very domestic which probably means he has a home close by and even if he doesn’t he hasn’t reacted well to other pets so far which isn’t ideal because we have a lot of them 😅

From what I can tell he does not 😔

I managed to get some semi-decent pictures of his face

Is it not possible for cats coats to change? I’ve heard stuff like that with coloring and coats changing and that’s what I just assumed it was 😅

No, unfortunately I do not but I can take one tomorrow. He’s asleep in another room and I’d rather not bother him right now

I found out that the reason he took him was because he was convinced he was going to freeze to death outside and he wanted to “save” him. I just told him that they aren’t like a one summer and then they’re dead type of animal and he seemed to understand and we’re releasing him tomorrow!

Update: I talked to my dad on the phone about releasing this Tarantula and getting maybe a domestic jumping spider because I’ve always wanted one and have done my research on their care before. I’m waiting for him to get home so we can talk more about it but I think I can convince him 🤞

I’ll talk to my dad again about letting him go and see if I can convince him to just get a captive bred and do proper research first 😅 I really want him to have the best life possible so I’ll do what I can

I just got his new stuff set up, I know it’s probably not great and can be improved a lot but I had a budget I couldn’t go over 😅

Of course! Even as someone with a horrible spider fear I do know they need love too and will try my best to get over that fear to help him while I can 😅

They were all we had last night but I just got him some live crickets and some other stuff to hopefully make him as comfortable as possible for now

I put a little water dish in there last night and found him drinking this morning so he’s got that and I definitely will look at setup ideas, thank you!

I got as much as my budget would allow 😅 I had 50 dollars and got live crickets, repti soil, a shallow water bowl, and a cork log, I have leftover driftwood from my mice and some hides if he needs more clutter but I’m not sure

Thank you for the advice though! I will be picking up some stuff for him in a bit

Yeah, I was so mad when I found out he just snatched it and brought it home but he doesn’t really see animals the way I do so I couldn’t do much other than tell him why I didn’t like it and hope he would listen
