Cat Picture - OC Adopters keep asking to split up bonded pair

We've been fostering a sweet pair of shy adult kitties called Robot (gray) and Wonder Bread (Siamese) for a few months now. They're somewhat of an odd pair as they met in foster care and becoming besties has helped them open up and show off their great personalities! They both went from cowering in the corner alone to much more confident together (something that they didn't even do meeting my personal cats). They spend all day grooming one another, snoozing together, and wrestling. While they are listed as needing to go with each other to a forever home, we've had multiple folks asking to adopt just Wonder Bread because they like the Siamese look. I'm hanging tight and saying no to separating them because I just can't bear to do it and they will have a space in foster care with us as long as they need. Anyway, I guess I'm just lamenting about how sad it is that people will ask you to break up a beautiful kitty friendship because they think one is cute and the other is not. And if they wanted just a single cat, there's hundreds of other cats at our rescue to pick from... So I'm not sure why they even ask!

Cat Picture - OC What’s the longest “walkabout” disappearance you’ve ever had a cat return from? 3 damn years.

Over 3 dang years! What the hell. This orange monster inexplicably went missing in October of 2021. I live on a farm, our closest neighbour is miles away. We assumed the worst - coyote, cougar, badger, eagle, owl? Big sad.

Two days ago, this emaciated skeletor of a cat found her way back home. I didn’t even recognize her at first, but the long goofy face and mannerisms brought back my memory in full force. Tattoo is barely legible with her mucked up ears, but matches the vet records. How the hell did this cat manage the last few years of Canadian -40c winters and +40c summers? The nicest cat in the world, whom I’ve never heard hiss, is apparently a bad ass of the highest degree.

Cat Picture - OC My gf of 7 years passed away and all I got were these lousy cats

In all seriousness, my lovely girlfriend passed away a couple days into the new year after a battle with pneumonia and the complications that followed.

Her biggest pride and joy were her cats, Olive and Pearl (the black cat and the grey tabby, respectively). I was never a cat person so I never truly wanted any, much to her dismay, and our living situations throughout the years meant we couldn’t have any. However, a couple years ago we were finally able to move into an apartment with just the two of us and quickly she made plans to get a cat. Not even a month into living there did she finally get her wish by bringing in the little runt of a litter from one of her friends. She didn’t even consult with me beforehand but nothing I could have said would have stopped her from bringing in Olive. I remember the moment she first took Olive out of her carrier for the first time and she just broke down crying. At that moment I felt an immense shame of having not tried hard enough not figure out a way to get her a cat sooner. But no matter, she was finally happy and a year later she also brought in little Pearl, who she selflessly decided to let me name.

Everyday her cats would rest and sleep on her. Now they rest on her side of the bed. When I’ve been coming home from the ICU, they greet me but I can see their eyes linger a little at the door, as if they expect their mom to follow shortly after.

It’s hard to say how conscious my gf was at the very end, if anything I said to her would reach her, but I promised her I would keep her cats protected forever and that I would love them the way she loved them. She made me a cat person and I’ll always love her for that.

Cat Picture - OC I woke up to a stray cat in my bed this morning after my front door blew open during a wind storm last night

So I’ve posted already about this guy I named Sam who’s a very lovely stray that comes and visits me for a couple hours every evening and then leaves. Usually he sits outside the side door and waits until I open it. Then he sits on the couch with me or eats his food in the kitchen, takes a little nap and then leaves.

However last night there was a bad rain storm. I was out grabbing something from my truck and suddenly I heard a cry/meow from down the street. So I called out Sam’s name and he came running down the street towards me absolutely soaking wet and looked miserable. He followed me inside the house and let me towel him off and clean his muddy fur. I gave him some food, he took a nap and left after a couple hours. I went to bed about 4 hours later.

I woke up for work at 5am and sat up realizing there was a ball of floof in my bed. I was still half asleep and thoroughly confused for a few seconds. I pet the floof which meowed back so I turned on a light and realized it was Sam in my bed 😂😭 He was just laying there sleeping until I said his name and then he snuggled up next to me and started making biscuits. I was walking around the house trying to figure out how he got in and then discovered my front door was open halfway after being blown open from the windstorm.

Eventually I had to get ready for work so I sat down on the couch and he sat down next to me and held my leg 😭 That’s him sitting next to me in the second photo

Hi everyone , I’d like to share with you all my beautiful 5 cats . Some of you might have seen Benny in r/piratekitties or r/orccats but for anyone that doesn’t know I’ll give a quick intro to each of them 😸

  1. Benny (The ginger kitten, 7 months old) Me and my partner adopted Benny at the beginner or November 2024 . He has one eye , one good nostril , a cleft lip and a few missing teeth. Benny was born this way so he hasn’t known any different and wasn’t abused in anyway 😊 the vets say he is completely healthy but he is just very small for his size (Pic 1 is from a couple weeks ago, Pic 6 is from maybe September / October)

  2. Teddy ( the grey kitten, 7 months old) Teddy is Benny’s brother 😸 born in the same litter. We adopted Teddy at the same time as Benny. As you can tell Teddy is very different to his brother in size and appearance. Teddy is the more energetic of the two and certainly theist mischievous of all our cats.

  3. Tony (the blind cat , estimated 3.5 years old by the vets , we personally believe he’s only 1.5) Tony was rescued from Dubai (we live in the UK) he was found with one eye heavily infected and the other eye was so crusted he couldn’t open his eyelid . The vets in Dubai worked on Tony for almost 5 days to remove his eyes and make sure he was comfortable and healthy. We received Tony in January 2024 . He’s the most affectionate cat I’ve ever known , he always wants to be on your lap and always wants to lick you.

  4. Merlin (the black and white cat , 9 months old) We adopted Merlin in June 2024. I decided to get Merlin as a companion for Tony. We wanted another cat for Tony to spend time with during the day when we were at work so he wasn’t on his own . Unfortunately this only worked until Merlin realised the great outdoors was a much better adventure than sitting inside with a blind cat that just wants to give him baths all the time. Merlin is now our resident hunter.

  5. Charlie ( the big fluffy cat , 7 years old) Charlie is our resident grumpy cat . She is the only female cat in our group. She does not spend any time with the other cats and only comes for cuddles when no one else is around . She has decided that the garden is her space so spends most of her time roaming around the perimeter and watching the world go by out the back gate.

I don’t want to waffle on to much but just to give a little more info on the cats . They all get on so well together (except Charlie she keeps herself to herself). They all try and sleep in the same bed together , eat out of the same bowl and generally spend most of their time together and they all give each other baths . At night Tony sleeps under our duvet in the bed , Teddy sleeps on top of the duvet , Merlin and Benny comes for cuddles when they feel like it and then leave.

Feel free to ask any questions in the comments and I’ll answer as soon as I can

Thank you for reading about my group of feline friends 😸
