This foster cat basically named himself

So I've been fostering this absolute unit of a cat for two weeks, and I've been stressing about what to name him. Tried everything from "Muffin" to "Sir Whiskers McFluffington" (yeah, I went there). Then yesterday, this dude straight up knocked my entire spice rack off the counter, looked me dead in the eye, and proceeded to roll around in the oregano like it was catnip. Zero remorse. Pure chaos energy. That's when it hit me – his name is obviously Chaos. Not because I chose it, but because HE chose it. Every day since, he's lived up to it perfectly. Destroyed my favorite plant? Chaos. Somehow got stuck in a paper bag for 20 minutes? Also Chaos. I swear some animals just come pre-programmed with their names. You just have to pay attention to their chaos energy levels. #Pets #Cats #fostercat

Silly Willie

So I adopted Willie at 9 months old after My 10 year old Buster died of Cancer. Mind you I have a 3 year old female named Trouble a rescue that I adopted for Buster to have a friend. They all have and had their own personalities. Buster was extremely intelligent and taught other dogs how to behave. Trouble suffers from anxiety and is passive aggressive but just a big baby. Willie is just a silly boy who is on the Jazz! He loves stuffed animals by tearing them apart:) Knowing what helps and soothes your fur baby REALLY matters! I have 2 grown kids in their late 30's. They have their own fur babies that are my grand dogs. In this day and age it's probably better to have grand dogs? I would love to have a grandchild but until then I will spoil my dogs and their dogs#SillyPets

Cat's hilarious revenge on new baby

So my drama queen tabby, Princess (yes, really), had been the undisputed ruler of our house for 3 years. Then we brought home our newborn daughter and I swear this cat plotted her revenge like a tiny furry mafia boss. First day: Princess knocked over the baby's bottle. Twice. Second day: She somehow got into the nursery and knocked all the diapers off the changing table. Third day: I found her sitting IN the crib, staring at me like 'what are YOU gonna do about it?' I was ready to rehome this menace. But then I caught her in the act of her 'ultimate revenge' - she had snuck into the nursery again and was... gently patting the baby's back while she cried, purring like a little engine. Turns out Princess wasn't plotting revenge. She was plotting to become the world's most dramatic big sister. Now they're inseparable and I'm pretty sure my cat thinks she's the baby's actual mother. #Pets #Cats #CatsAndBabies

My black cat has me fully trained

Three months ago I thought I adopted a cat. Turns out I hired a very demanding, very vocal supervisor. My void has developed an entire vocabulary just for bossing me around. Short meow = "food bowl is 80% full, unacceptable." Long dramatic wail = "you've been in the bathroom for 30 seconds, I'm dying of loneliness." Chirpy trill = "that's MY chair you're sitting in." The worst part? I actually respond to all of it. I'll literally get up at 3am because she gives me the "something is slightly wrong with my water fountain" meow. She doesn't even drink from it half the time. My friends think I'm losing it, but honestly? Being owned by a sassy black cat who treats me like her personal assistant is exactly the life I never knew I wanted. #Pets #Cats #blackcat

This stray cat just adopted me. Send help?

So there's this orange tabby that's been hanging around my apartment for weeks. Started with just meowing at my door, then somehow convinced me to leave food out. Now she's basically moved into my balcony and gives me judgmental looks when I come home late. I've never owned a cat. Don't even consider myself a cat person. But here I am, googling 'cat adoption checklist' at 2am because this little furball has apparently decided I'm her human. She's clearly been on the streets for a while - a bit skinny, needs some TLC. Part of me thinks I should take her to a shelter, but another part of me is already mentally naming her (thinking 'Mango'?). For those who've been chosen by strays before - how do you know if you're ready? What should I do first? Because honestly, I think she's already made the decision for both of us. #Pets #Cats #straycats
