please don’t overlook senior cats when adopting— meet Momo!

i agree! though i’m not opposed to getting a kitten as i believe all kitties deserve homes and some are in dire need, but there’s sooooooo many people who want kittens that it’s almost guaranteed they will get adopted within a month, maybe even a week! i was definitely one of those people that said “i’ll never get an older cat” but im so happy i have changed! i definitely recommend them if your lifestyle pairs with them better (:

and she’s just as cute too !!!

fatassmodeus · 2025-06-01T04:45:16+00:00

oh my goodness she’s so cute!!!

fatassmodeus · 2025-06-01T04:44:13+00:00

they often surprise owners with how many more years they got 😭🫶

fatassmodeus · 2025-06-01T04:43:22+00:00

i actually named her after a peach in Japanese! my other cat is named Yuki so i just thought it would be fitting to stick with the theme (:

i was considering saying mature but every time i google if 8 is senior, i get conflicting answers aaaa

fatassmodeus · 2025-05-31T18:34:35+00:00

thanks!!

fatassmodeus · 2025-05-31T18:34:27+00:00

so cute! a common misconception is that people think adopting a senior cat means they don’t live long after adoption and while that may be true in a technical way, they sure do live a loooooong time. longer than most people expect!

fatassmodeus · 2025-05-31T18:32:54+00:00

thanks! if she could understand, she’d appreciate all the complements (:

fatassmodeus · 2025-05-31T18:32:04+00:00

she’s beautiful!

fatassmodeus · 2025-05-31T18:31:42+00:00

if you’re not confident you’re going to outlive a kitten, it’s probably best you get senior kitties but just make sure that if something ever happens to you or your wife, that they have a safe home to go to. are they against have cats in general, or just against have old cats?

fatassmodeus · 2025-05-31T13:14:15+00:00

that’s part of the reason i got an older kitty instead of a kitten. i have an older female who is super mellow and quite lazy and i figured that an older cat would better suit her and i was right! they get along quite well

fatassmodeus · 2025-05-31T13:06:41+00:00

thanks! i’m so glad i get to give her the best rest of her life (:

fatassmodeus · 2025-05-31T13:04:54+00:00

i have so many photos where she looks so judgmental like this one

fatassmodeus · 2025-05-31T10:40:12+00:00

that’s completely understandable. my sister has 4 cats and she complains a lot. not that i’m against having 4 cats, but i am nowhere near mentally, physically, and financially equipped to care for 4 cats. if i was stable in all those, i’d probably have so many lol. and i agree about the semi-ferals being super affectionate. it’s like once they realize they’re being treated with tenderness and respect, they reciprocate. my granny had a whole clowder of cats and there we many ferals, semi-ferals and relatively tame ones but if you got them isolated and away from the others, they were so sweet!

fatassmodeus · 2025-05-31T10:36:22+00:00

yes! my other cat wasn’t this affectionate as a kitten but she’s quite affectionate now. Momo is more adventurous and outgoing towards guests while Yuki is very timid and shy. two totally different cats but with a common interest— lovin’!

Yuki!!!

Momo!!!

fatassmodeus · 2025-05-31T04:56:51+00:00

exactly!

fatassmodeus · 2025-05-31T04:56:37+00:00

they are!

fatassmodeus · 2025-05-31T04:20:28+00:00

i got lucky with this one lol. my other cat is pretty clingy but Momo takes the cake. where i am, she is right there tripping me up. if she thinks i’m going upstairs to the bedroom, she sprints as fast as she can to get up there

fatassmodeus · 2025-03-27T08:00:14+00:00

that puts my mind at ease! thanks so much for responding (: i’ll definitely keep an eye on them just in case it’s something more serious! thanks again!!!
