Steve got his lion cut today. He was pissy and irritated the entire drive there, crapped all over the groomer three times, and gave me an earful the whole ride home, but now he is happy as can be.

He is one good looking cat!

That is the walk of a cat that knows he is the king of the world.
Shana
It’s nice to have these traditions.

Poor Steve, he looks naked without his fur. Your new kitty looks totally at home.
This is our new kitteh, looks totally like a slightly smaller version of my late great boss kitteh.

@schrodingers_cat: Handsome and completely in charge ❤️

The joys of parenthood…
cain
he should meet my daughter’s cat – Louis (as in Vitton) – that guy has some moves and he’s damn smart and he’s super confident.

@cain: I asked you a question several days ago I wonder if you saw it.

Le grand chat!

On the catwalk!

And now he has a partner for whatever nefarious plans he has for you when you go to sleep tonight. I wouldn’t close my eyes if I was you, Cole.

@MagdaInBlack: He totally is in charge. He is quite a lover boy!

Is it me, or does he have some rather impressive forepaws? Did I miss a post where Cole talked about him having extra toe powers or something?

@schrodingers_cat:
Nice-looking cat on a comfy-looking chair.

@Steeplejack: Thanks!

Striding like a B O S S !

@schrodingers_cat:
Oh my, he is handsome kitteh.
Elizabelle
@schrodingers_cat: New kitteh has amazing coat colors. Maybe a little ocelot going on? Anyway, he’s a happy boy.

@Elizabelle: He is long and lean!

@schrodingers_cat:
New kitteh looks very regal, as if he were waiting for his subjects to approach. What is his name? Apologies if I forgot/missed it.

Work it, Steve!

Magnificent! Beast!

@Elizabelle:
Similar coloring to my late housecat—gray tabby with bronze highlights. RIP, Stella.
schrodingers_cat
@Steeplejack: She was adorable!
Shana
@schrodingers_cat: Your new kitty looks exactly like ours, down to the black backs of its paws. Unusual for a tabby.

@schrodingers_cat: pretty kitteh!
Steeplejack
@schrodingers_cat:
I still miss her a lot. Not ready for another one yet.

@C Stars: I seem to recall Cole wanted a polydactyl, but honestly don’t remember if Steve is one or just has extra-fluffy feet.
Elizabelle
@Steeplejack: Stella was a wonderful girl.
Steeplejack
@Elizabelle:
👍

@Steeplejack:
Awww…the housecat.
Steeplejack
@eclare:
Yep. She was a good helper.
Odie Hugh Manatee
Sounds like a good time was had by all!
@CaseyL: He has poly pawz…
Gemina13
Ah, I see Shitmas has come already.
Steve’s definitely got some swagger going on there. And Maxwell . . . damn, you’ve got some gorgeous cats there.
Mel
@schrodingers_cat: I love your kitty’s spots and stripes! And such a lovely, regal expression!
My Lenny cat has the spot/ stripe combo, too. 💕
Mel
@Steeplejack: Stella was so beautiful, and she looks so content and happy. Clearly, she knew she was very dearly loved by her people.

Sorry to interrupt. Mostly lurker type here, occasionally pipes up, likes to imagine he’s a member of the community.
For metastatic breast cancer, my wife is staring down her third brain surgery on Tuesday. I am lead to understand that it’s probably going to be ok, but I am not ok right now.
I am so tired. It is too much.
Mel
@Steeplejack: I’m right there with you. I miss little Pixie so much. It’s like losing a little piece of your soul when they go.
Mel
@dirge: Hi, dirge. I am so, so sorry that you and your wife are going through that. Do you have someone who can be with you during her surgery?
Please continue to comment here, and please let us know how you and your wife are doing. Serious illness can feel so lonely for both the person who is ill and for the people who love them, especially if those around you have never experienced what you and your dear one are going through. If possible, reach out to a trusted person to give you the support you need and deserve while you are loving and supporting your sweetheart.
You are both in my thoughts and in my heart tonight.
BellyCat
@dirge: Fuck cancer. Try to focus on the “probably going to be ok” part so as to prevent getting lost in myriad “what ifs”. Sending healing thoughts to the cosmos for your wife.
dirge
@Mel:
thank you.
I do have some supportive family, and I am in touch with them.
Nonetheless, it is so very nice to shout out into the void of the internet, and hear something positive back. Thank you so much.
mrmoshpotato
@dirge: Even you lurkers are members of this community. :)
Sounds like the doctors are confident about your wife’s upcoming surgery. Focus on that as BellyCat said. We’re here for you and will keep you in our thoughts.
Odie Hugh Manatee
@dirge:
Say something but please get that thought that it’s too much out of your head. Reach out for help for yourself and do speak up, but your wife needs you right now. We are no stranger to cancer here in our house so our hearts go out to your wife and yourself.
Please do speak up as you need to and welcome to John’s Cat House… :)

@BellyCat:
@mrmoshpotato:
Fuck cancer. It’s just…. Literally hours after she gets a professional haircut for the first time since losing it all to chemo, and it really seems like we’re back to normal-ish, then there’s a seizure, ER, MRI, back into the shit.
Obviously coincidence, but it really starts to feel like punishment for thinking you can get back to a normal life.
Fuck cancer.
dirge
@Odie Hugh Manatee:
Don’t worry. I’ll do what needs doing. I’m rock solid on that. The only question is what’s left of me to come out the other end.
eclare
@dirge:
Oh I’m so sorry, that does sound like too much. Please vent or do whatever you need to do, plenty here have experience with cancer.
Fuck cancer.
Steeplejack
@Mel:
Thanks.
Steeplejack
@dirge:
The time of waiting and unknowing is very hard. Be there for your wife and let us be here for you when you need support. Sending healing energy. 🙏
Mel
@dirge: I am thinking of you and your wife today. Hugs to both of you.
