Prob a dumb question…What are you wiping down the shelves with?

Litter paw prints on the shelves. Pretty sure its mdf material. Worried about wiping it with cleaner and eventually getting moisture bubbles or cleaner eating away the top finish.

Odd post and not too sure if it’s even allowed, but I genuinely don’t have any friends. I only talk to my husband and my Miichii so ya know.

I just wanted to show everyone my baby. I got her at 2 months old in August of 2025. When I got her, I was sure that I would quit my job and never leave the house again. Genuinely, I was so unhappy with myself and everything around me that I saw no point in living.

Then one day, my husband and I went in for litter for Jack (our other baby) at Petco. I went up to the cat adoption center as you do at Petco or Petsmart and this little void pranced up to me with her tail in a curl. She “ppprrrrtttt”-ed at me and flopped over to her back. She showed me her tummy, rubbed against the glass, talked to me, looked at me like she was in love. I inquired about her at the counter and they told me not to adopt her since she had a cold and needed to be seen by a vet.

I left the store for a few hours, but I could not stop thinking about her and the way she looked at me. The way it felt like she was perfect for me, so I went back. I greeted her again and it was the same, she was so insanely happy and I knew i had to take her home.

I paid and she came home with me and we’ve been inseparable ever since.

I immediately put a harness on her the moment she recovered and fit in one, she loves car rides and going out with mom and dad. She talks to me, never leaves my side, it’s like she knows what I need exactly when I need it.

She’s made me realize that I could never be alone and I should never feel lonely because she’s always looking for me and looking forward to seeing me. She’s made me realize how pretty I am, because I see myself in her beautiful eyes and I love how I look in them.

I know this whole post may sound selfish, my cat does this for me, my cat does that for me— I know. I wish I could tell my girl how much she means to me in words she understands other than feeding her and getting her things that she likes. I wish I could tell her that I am absolutely in love with her and appreciate everything she has ever done for me. I’m literally crying typing this out.

She’s a year and a half now, I wish time would go by slower so we could spend even more time together.

Guys, I love my babygirl.

P.S.

Yes, I did end up taking her to a vet shortly after getting her. She’s perfectly healthy now!

Tweaking

Told this MF don't go outside while it's pouring, just sit in the window..

So she proceeds to launch herself through my window screen into a giant muddy pool of water. A lesson was learned today.

I was going to adopt a void earlier this year but unfortunately that didn't work out. After feeling very sad finding a home for 3 cats and a bonded pair I decided enough was enough and adopted my own forever cat! I named her Maya.

I spent an hour at the cat charity, agonising over the choices of voids there. I was interested in so many until the lady helping me said "Hey, look, there's this girl who isn't available for adoption yet as she recently got spayed, but I think you might like her? She's in another shed if you want to meet her?"

And that lady was right. Maya was the cat for me! As soon as she opened the cat hutch door Maya was all over me with kisses and it was love at first sight. It's been a week now and she hasn't been able to stay off me! I've never met a friendlier cat and she cannot stop licking me. lol

This may be difficult to watch.

had a pretty exhausting day, send me your cats to draw!

update: this thread made me so happy!! literally made my night. my pen's dying and i'm finally getting sleepy but i'll be finishing more tomorrow since i had so much fun with the ones i drew tonight! thank you to everyone who's contributed pics of their strange little goblins <3

Our 17-year-old black cat 'happily' wearing a pumpkin costume.

My beautiful tiny baby Jeez had four teeth removed and her teeth scaled. She is in no pain, enjoying plenty of lil soup and squeeze tube for the next few weeks!

First 4 photos are Jeezy stoned, 5th pic is her fangs, and final pics are her when she's not high at all hehehe. 🤭🤭 I'll miss those big fangs!!

I wanted to share this for anyone getting their kitty's teeth pulled or cleaned, having anxiety about it like I was.

Below is a thorough recap of our dental experience:

She had developed alevolar osteitis and her body was pushing her fangs out of her little skull (pic 5). I check my cats teeth usually every 3ish weeks to see if anything is going on, and the alevolar osteitis went from 0 to 100 within just a few weeks. They also took two small premolars that had pocketing around her gums. They fixed the protruding alevolar bone too, and she is expected to have no issue chewing, drooling, playing, or anything else.

Total cost was $1500, Pittsburgh area. I went to Avalon Veterinary Hospital, they were AMAZING!! HIGHLY recommend.

We knew there was something wrong because of bad breath, the swollen alevolar bone, her fangs appeared to be growing long, and her gum line being slightly red.

Our vet recommended a water additive that helps dental, and we will begin using this when Jeez is fully healed. My other two cats do not have dental issues, so this will be preventative for them.

I know there's a lot of discussion online about fear of removing their cats teeth/getting them cleaned because of the risks of anesthesia; my Jemmy girl here took it like a champ. She got blood work done ahead of time to confirm she was healthy enough, and her total anesthesia was 2 hours for all 4 teeth pulled, sutured, microchip, and a little sanitary trim.

My cousin has worked between two shelters for 4 years, she said only once has she seen anesthesia kill an animal. It was puppies with parvo that sadly just did not wake up. She has never seen any other animal, healthy or unhealthy, die from anesthesia. Of course there are horror stories, but this is not as common as you'd think. They checked Jeez's blood and made sure she was healthy enough for anesthesia. Thankfully, nothing else is wrong, just her teeth!

Do not be afraid to get your kitty the help they need. This is routine, and your experienced vet will know exactly what to do. It breaks my heart my little black cat was in pain, but she's going to have a long happy life, even without her fangs!! 😝🤞🖤

I just got my little void just in time for the spooky season. I named her Luna
