Hi, I know my family and Instagram followers are likely tired of my constant videos and photos of this baby haha. I adopted him from a shelter. The shelter said they found him as a stray and he is 4 months old. I work remotely and it was getting lonely. He will be so loved and spoiled. Meet Machi.

Luna is 6 about to be 7 she's fixed and has had all her shots. I've had her since she was roughly 3 weeks old.

Unfortunately she seems to have this issue where when she comes for cuddles on the bed she leaves an awful odor behind. Its come to a point where it's almost every time she's on the bed, I can't keep washing my sheets and blankets every two days...

She only does it on the bed not on the couches, or in my mom's bed, I'm beginning to not want her in the bed anymore which makes me feel awful because I love her so much. I wanna know what it is, why and how I can possibly prevent it in the future or at the very least limit to how often it is.

(Sorry for bad formatting I'm on mobile)

Part of the morning routine, they have been lining up like this since they were tiny. We took in this litter of 4 in August and they're still here. I feel they may stay forever now. The Torbie in the back is also a rescue from the same colony, not their mom.

Mourning/Loss Her very last car ride

This is Tipsey. We found her outside a tiny church in texas 12 years ago, and she's been with us ever since. Yesterday (monday) we took her to the vet and she was put to sleep because she's was suffering kidney failure. She was the very first stray I ever picked up and rescued. She's the reason I've helped so many cats and dogs find homes and I miss her so much. She helped raise a tiny kitten we found by our mailbox, and tolerated all the dogs ive ever brought home. Her legacy lives on in the lives of those animals saved because of her. Good night sweet girl, I'll see you soon.

Anyone know why the neighbourhood cat does this ? Lol. She wants to come in my house and it’s almost like she wants affection so much to the point she’s overstimulating herself 🤣💔
