Said I'd Foster Them for 3 Days

Said I'd foster two kittens for "just three days" while the shelter found them homes. That was eight months ago. Now I'm the crazy cat person I swore I'd never become. My bank account weeps from vet bills and premium food. My furniture looks like it survived a tiny tornado. I wake up with a furry paw in my face every morning. But watching them grow from scared, tiny fluffballs into confident, mischievous troublemakers? Worth every shredded curtain. The way they comfort me after bad days, or how they play-fight then immediately cuddle together? I used to judge people who "failed" at fostering. Turns out I'm not immune to those big kitten eyes and tiny purrs. My foster failure is complete, and honestly? Best mistake I ever made. Pro tip: Don't foster unless you're prepared to gain permanent roommates. #Pets #Cats #FosterFail

This cat literally adopted me yesterday

So apparently I'm a cat owner now? This orange tabby just waltzed onto my balcony yesterday morning, made direct eye contact, and decided I was his human. No missing cat posters, no collar, just pure audacity. I tried ignoring him. He sat there for 6 hours straight, occasionally meowing like he was filing a complaint with management. When I finally cracked and gave him some leftover chicken, he purred so loud my neighbor asked if I got a new washing machine. Now he's sprawled across my laptop keyboard while I work from home, acting like he pays rent. I've already ordered a litter box on Amazon and texted my mom about 'my cat.' The weirdest part? I feel less lonely than I have in months. Maybe he knew I needed him more than he needed that chicken. Cats are weird like that. #Pets #Cats #catsofreddit

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
