u/chonkin-donuts Sep 12 '24

I have a bite sized hole in my hand, a missing leg and 1 missing eye, but i was able to escape

u/Optimal-Ad-7074 Sep 12 '24

yeah, but how's your heart?

u/International-Cat123 Sep 12 '24

Stolen, obviously.

u/chonkin-donuts Sep 12 '24

Was worth it tho!

u/Catkit69 Sep 12 '24

I hope to never be in your position (I actually hope very much to be in your position) because I would have taken that one home :3

203

u/chonkin-donuts Sep 12 '24

We have 15 cats at home, otherwise i would have taken it home also

u/ijustdontgiveaf Sep 12 '24

a 16th doesn’t matter at that point anymore either..

u/maddamleblanc Sep 12 '24

Honestly, after 8 I just said "fuck it" and just let cats who showed up live with me. 🤣

I have 25 now though. Mostly feral cats.

u/Mysterious-Crab Sep 12 '24

Are you sure you’re not just a bunch of cats dressed up in a trench coat by now?

44

u/oneweirdclickbait Sep 12 '24

You either die and stay human or live long enough to become The Cat.

u/maddamleblanc Sep 12 '24

Maybe that's the issue 🤣

u/NixiePixie916 Sep 13 '24

I love cats, but that seems like an unhealthy number of cats

u/maddamleblanc Sep 13 '24 edited Sep 13 '24

Feral cats aren't social and can't be inside. I have a lot of land and money to take care of them. They're all fixed and vetted. It's either they live on my land or they get killed by the shelter because they can't be kept as pets.

It's because people are assholes and can't be bothered to fix their damn pets and let them outside. Maybe people should be more responsible and there wouldn't be feral cats.

I do adopt ones out that show up that are social, though. I live in an area by a lot of duplexes and apartments, so people drive out and dump their animals. I have cameras set up because it got ridiculous, and I do press charges for animal abandonment, but the county doesn't really give a shit.

u/NixiePixie916 Sep 13 '24

I was mistaken, I thought you were referring to having them all inside. I know of many former feral who were socialized so I thought you had them all inside.

1

u/maddamleblanc Sep 13 '24

Oh no, I'm not that crazy. 🤣 I mean I wouldn't be opposed to it but no thanks. I have 7 that actually live inside.

24

u/oh-pointy-bird Sep 12 '24

Could you contact a rescue or someone to TNR? Baby looks thin but will soon make more baby :/

21

u/International-Cat123 Sep 12 '24

I’d hate to be in that position because I’d wanna take em home. I already have a cat and I wouldn’t be able to afford the vet bills if they both got sick or injured at the same time.

u/Lady_Scruffington Sep 12 '24

Did it belong to someone? What's the story?

118

u/chonkin-donuts Sep 12 '24

At my university there are a lot of strays, cats, dogs its likely a baby of one of the older cats

78

u/ElaineBenesFan Sep 12 '24

This is so sad...wishing for a world with no homeless cats or dogs.

u/Mocktails_galore Sep 13 '24

It's the circle of life..... 🦁 👑

u/CarouselPony21 Sep 12 '24

I'm really sorry to tell you this, but you've now peaked at university. No uni day will ever beat this. You may as well pack it all in now 😂

56

u/chonkin-donuts Sep 12 '24

Ive got one semester left, at least i peaked at the end somewhat 😅

28

u/CarouselPony21 Sep 12 '24

I take it all back - that kitty and I will be very disappointed if you don't finish your final semester! 😂 Hope it all goes well for you! Smash it!

u/methinfiniti Sep 12 '24

Someone should take that little guy in.

24

u/MechanicsAntics Sep 12 '24

She looks so similar to our backyard kitten! And we even named her Swirly!

42

u/Basic_Setting6031 Sep 12 '24

You'll have to nickname this one Sid, from the Viscious attack.
Glad you survived. So, same time tomorrow?

u/Lhamo55 Sep 12 '24

Nice whitewall upgrade too.

u/flushmebro Sep 12 '24

Oooh, a hot rodded classic!

u/PremierLovaLova Sep 12 '24

r/catdistributionsystem at its finest

16

u/chonkin-donuts Sep 12 '24

I have been struck by the system 15 times already, i would like the system to move on to someone else

10

u/truly_beyond_belief Sep 12 '24

You own 15 cats?

17

u/ElaineBenesFan Sep 12 '24

Correction: OP is "owned" by 15 cats

12

u/chonkin-donuts Sep 12 '24

Yes...

10

u/truly_beyond_belief Sep 12 '24

I am not worthy ... I bow before you ...

My one middle-aged cat would totally get his nose out of joint if he had to share the bed, windowsill, or chair with anyone else

3

u/the_owlyn Sep 13 '24

It’s either CDS or Jury Duty. Which do you prefer?

2

u/googlemcfoogle Sep 13 '24

I have literally never encountered a stray kitten. Why do cats only get distributed to you?

4

u/Basic_Setting6031 Sep 12 '24

Glad you survived.

You'll nhave to nickname this one Sid, from Vicious attack.

So, same time tomorrow???

u/Wu-TangShogun Sep 12 '24

You good sir are “a survivor” and may or may not be a wizard that’s still undecided

u/Canukeepitup Sep 12 '24

u/PomPomGrenade Sep 12 '24

Did you lose your heart?

u/Minecrafting_il Sep 12 '24

5

u/chonkin-donuts Sep 12 '24

Basically english with extra steps, at the end i will know english professionally

1

u/Minecrafting_il Sep 12 '24

How does one know English professionally? What does that even mean?

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '24

I think it was an affection attack :) So very cute !

u/Tarimsen Sep 12 '24

u/chonkin-donuts Sep 12 '24

Galaxy s21 ultra

u/Tarimsen Sep 12 '24

Damn i thought my Pixel 7 Pro was THE shit

u/NevaLumina Sep 12 '24

I'm a galaxy s20+ and haven't ever wanted to upgrade bc I love the cameras so much. Esp for portrait (kitty) mode!

u/therealjoe12 Sep 12 '24

That creature looks ferrous I can't believe you lived to tell the tale

2

u/dynamiteSkunkApe Sep 13 '24

You need to report this to r/IllegallySmolCats

2

u/Majestic-Degree-8549 Sep 13 '24

Savage, graphic, and brutal. I am impressed by your fortitude.

Also that cat is incredibly cute.

u/furandpaws Sep 12 '24

u/agbobeck Sep 13 '24

u/Dulcinea18 Sep 13 '24

Apex predator….don’t know how you came out alive.

u/Specialist-Treat-396 Sep 15 '24

Did the beast follow you home? You may be in for a rough couple of years if it did.
