Why it's important to get a 6th cat when you're in the middle of moving and your whole existence is falling to pieces.

This is Luna

Actually, her full name is Teeny Weeny Tuna Luna.

The day after moving into this exquisite dumpster fire of an apartment, I was at the main office when this tiny little cat walked right up to me and demanded my attention.

Now, this poor little kitty was completely emaciated. Basically, a skeleton with some fur.
Apparently, some piece of shit asshole just dumped her off at the main office.
It was clear that this was already a domesticated cat and not a feral cat.
Feral cats know how to hunt and they don't come right up to humans screaming for help.

The apartment manager was outside as well and told me that tenants leave their cats and dogs there when they move out quite often.

Like....how do you get to that point in your existence where you just abandon a living creature who is depending on you and trusted you to take care of them?
I don't get it.

Well, anyway, I looked over at Shane who was still in the car and he said that the look on my face told him that we needed to save the lil kitty.

Anyone who knows me around here is aware of my current situation: moving, ball of stress, looking for a new job, daily nervous breakdowns ... so the absolute last thing I need right now is to add a 6th cat to this family.

We have been very lucky with the 5 cats we have all getting along. It's kinda rare to have that many cats of all different ages who love each other... because cats are weird little fuckers.

So, I thought we would just help this little kitty out for a few days and work on finding her a new home.

But, of course, that didn't happen because crazy cat lady ... so long story short... we have 6 cats.

Luna has her appointment on Monday to get fixed. The poor thing is pregnant on top of everything else.
We took her to the vet and the doc said the kittens would not survive anyway because she was in such poor health and emaciated and fucking starving to death.

Luna is still way too skinny, but she is slowly gaining weight.
She is slowly getting acclimated to her new environment.
She is enjoying "playing" or what cats actually like to call ... "murder".

murder


And the other 5 cats are trying their best to accept the newest addition to the family.

Snibby is the most upset about it though.

Here you can see him pouting in what we like to call "his angry bag".

In closing, here is a pic of Snibby being weird.

Sort:  

"Snibby's angry bag"! LOL
It seems like any female cat who isn't spayed by 6 months old will probably be pregnant by 9 months old if they have access to the outdoors.
Hungry tiny cats are hard to say no to...

She knew who to approach. :-)

You're so smart to take it!
But my compliments to your husband.
My husband, for example, does not allow cats to be kept at home (

It from their fur terrible allergies.

And photos charming :-)

Awwwwwww, Luna. Poor baby, it’s so wonderful she found you. The fact that you guys have 6 cat children makes me know (even more) that you are my people. I hope things settle down soon with all the stressful things. In the meantime you are surely in no short supply of furbaby snuggles! ❤️❤️❤️

I love you for this. That is one lucky kitty to walk up to the right lady. I hope Snibby will understand after a while. (((hugs)))

I don't understand people who just abandon their cats.
I have found feral cats to be incredibly friendly. But maybe they were just abandoned and I didn't realize it :(
I'm so glad you found her, she's adorable!

This is hme hme cat for you, my gift😍

For some of us: Getting a lot of pussy is a good thing.
Just putting that out there.

ermegerrrrrrrd!! I'm in love with teeny-tiny-tuna-luna! <3 How could you not swoon?! She's very, very lucky to have found a Mama Isa – ain't no accident she landed in the most capable, loving arms she could possibly have found. ;) Snibby's purty cute, too – even whilst being weird in his 'angry bag.' mental note: need to make my own 'paingry bag'.

SHE IS PREGNANT in top of everything? omg poor kitty!!! but also lucky Kitty she found you!!!

Luna is so pretty, btw in case you need more room for more cats always remember you can put Shane on the streets (just a thought!)
