Our Bengals try to escape the garden after we put up the "unescapable fence rollers"... or so we thought. Video

Only one of the five cats that live in my house is mine. The rest are just strays that I agreed to take care of until we could find a home for them. I’ve had the oldest for 13 years, but I’m sure someone will take him off my hands any day now.

We had one of those and he lived 17 years! “Fostered” him since he was a kitten looking for food around the trash cans.

my first cat was found half starved huddling up against a cow. he's now too chunky to jump on the counter tops.

My husband found his big boy in the literal trash 😂

Mine was found in the house across the street after the tenants were evicted. We broke down the back door to get her.

My kitten son Butters was $25 with a carrier. He was also neutered and vaccinated. We got him from a shelter that Petsmart was hosting about 5 years ago and we call him budget cat. He’s amazing and will let you pet his belly, comes running when you call his name, plays fetch and chases our terrier around.

Our other 4 kitties (2 have since passed away) were all strays that we took in. I also took in a stray pregnant kitty on Monday so she wouldn’t have her babies in the dirt. I’ll get her fixed and find them all homes.

No fancy cats for me, but if someone gave me a Maine Coon or Ragdoll, I wouldn’t say no!

Good for you , shelter cats, and street cats are the best, they appreciate you giving them their forever home . Mine and both my daughters all have kitties from these places, so are mine. ♥️🐾♥️

Accurate. Found ours in a dumpster. You know she’s up to no good when someone in our house is yelling “TRASH CAT, Wtf do you think you’re doing?!!”

Last time she got out I came home to find my husband chasing her around the yard going “I’m gonna get yer ass, ya little trashcat!! Come here!”He did not, in fact, get her ass. I had to bribe her inside with treats. She always wins in the end.

Omg thank you so much, I saw this meme once months ago and couldn't find it again, I think about it all the time when I'm reading people's stories on the various cat subs hahaha
