Show off pics of your pets, tell stories, anything you want to share about those special animals in your life 🙂 Post as much and as often as you want!




Here are are my fluff babies DJ and Gunner (also called Lulu or Lou). They are mother and daughter. DJ is my baby and Gunner is a daddy's girl. They are approximately 9 years old and very spoiled!

This is DJ. She loves to be near me.

Miss Gunner Lou loves her catnip carrot

@ZombieMetroAnt - Great pictures!  Figaro's eyes tell the whole story...

OMG that picture of him peeping is too much! I love it! They are gorgeous!

Love seeing everyone's furbabies!!

Here are mine. Initially we only went in to adopt one cat. I was set on Rosie (marble rye) and DH was set on Sambuca (burnt loaf). They're littermates and happened to be the two in the litter closest to each other, and we were eventually convinced to adopt two cats rather than just one so it worked out perfect that we brought both home.

Rosie (Roro, or "The Terror")

Sambuca (Fattie, or "Poo Dangler"--long story)

We named her Sambuca but have never called her that; only the vet does. She's called Sammie in the house 🙂

We've had them since they were 10 weeks old (rescue run by a coworker as a hobby) and they're turning 4 this October. This was when they were probably 12 weeks old... I think Sammie would completely fill this bed now if we still had it:

yes, tons of cute photos.  Those eyes! 

[spotspotcat]

Cuteness overload!! @k617.

[melash]

Omg, they both have the prettiest eyes.

[Titian06]

@k617 - I have totally and completely melted!  What sweethearts!  Gush, gush...

[tsavorite]

@k617,  I love your kitties! These are awesome photos.  You should be a cat photographer!

Marble Rye and Burnt Loaf are the funniest nick names!

The eyes on these cats!  Wow!  

And the kitten/baby photo!

 Sammie and Rosie are just darling! 🙂

I think getting two together is the best! Mine are litter mates as well and it's sweet how bonded they are. I just felt like I could never have separated them and it really didn't prevent them from bonding intensely with me either (which I read could be a thing but totally wasn't an issue). Your kitties are soooo cute!

OMG Sammie reminds me of Toothelss! So black with gorgeous green eyes. Im in loooooove

[samls324]

Lol I thought about Toothless too!

[spotspotcat]

Perfect observation @Maria88.  One of my favorite movies too!

[k617]

Hahah @Maria88 DH and I call her Toothless too from time to time!

[samls324]

@k617 They are both so beautiful!! Glad you adopted them together, they seem to love each other a lot. Black cats are least likely to be adopted so I'm thrilled Sammie found a good home with a kitty friend. Give them some pets for me!

[k617]

Will pass along the pets @samls324!

Gorgeous girls! I love all cats, but I have a special place in my heart for green-eyed black cats ❤️

[k617]

@JayAitchGee Black cats are the most underrated cats ever! It makes me happy whenever I see a black cat in a happy home! ❤️

[ZombieMetroAnt]

Oh my goodness @k617 - describing them as "adorable" would be an understatement!  They are so precious...it's so great that both were adopted together.  

[Titian06]

I agree with @ZombieMetroAnt.  I'm glad you adopted both Rosie and Sammie together.  You and they will be very happy!  I posted a picture of my two cats much earlier in the thread.  The cats are half litter mates (same father, different mothers).  Prior to them, I had two cats as well (3 years apart in age).  With those two, I realized I would never not have two cats again.  After both of them passed away (a year apart), I had the opportunity to adopt the half litter mates, I jumped at the chance.

[k617]

Thanks @ZombieMetroAnt @HelloCoffee @starrysilver @virgo87 😄

Adopting them together was the right decision. They're super close and I think they're more well behaved (even though Rosie is still a troublemaker) because they have each other. We often find them in the same place, doing the same thing, in the same position.

Exhibit A: the top right photo is of them together. The black shadow is not a shadow at all--that's Sammie.

We also find Sammie in weird, derpy positions like these:

While Rosie is more proper, but behind that cute face is a force of terror, planning her next mischief:

Rosie likes to get stuck in plastic bags. She will often step through both handles, and drag the bag around. Weirdo.

@k617 - This is so funny!  My two half litter mates are not like the top set of pictures at all.  But individually, Isabella is just like Sammie, while Ivan is nearly like Rosie, especially the plastic bags!
