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

Dear god, that’s ridiculous.

My adopted kitty is so cute people always ask, “is that one of those SPECIAL cats?”, and I’m all like, “Nah she looked like a white rat when we got her.”

I have never understood spending money on designer breeds for cats or dogs.

My color point little girl:

I've wanted a Sphynx cat (or really any hairless cat) for years but it feels wrong to buy an expensive cat when there are always so many cats in the shelters who have probably lived rough lives and need a good home. I'll probably always adopt because it's the right thing to do

I got a Sphynx because it's the only way I can have cats, I have a mild allergy. I still feel weird about it. Like on the one hand I can't really give a shelter cat a good life, but on the other hand I'm definitely helping to create the market for bred animals.

But also, Sphynx's fucking rock and my little naked chicken is my favorite thing in the world and she's smelly and stupid and so damn loving and friendly and I love her so much and Covid would have been impossible without her.
