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

And since the other video that I called Love Dem Feets (originally posted a few days ago below) was deleted due to the original uploader closing his/her account, you can find the video in this article (replete with cute pics taken from the video). Love her big yawn!!! 🙂

BTW, @ZombieMetroAnt I didn't get a response from my bro-in-law after I told him that he should get his cat high on catnip so that he could get her in the container/box and then onto the roomba!! I think he knows I'm kinda crazy/goofy anyways! HA!! 😄

[ZombieMetroAnt]

Oh darn!  I was looking forward to the family kitty video 

But the one you just posted will hold me over til then!!  Thanks for the funsies - it's a great way to start the weekend!!

[ZombieMetroAnt]

Oh my goodness!!  This is so awesome...this fella  totally trusts his human - that is fantastic!!  Thanks for the funsies - I can't stop watching it!  

[poohblueberry]

@ZombieMetroAnt You're welcome! I sent the video to my bro-in-law and said that he should do that for his cat since he has a roomba. He responded that Candy was afraid of the thing. I then told him that he should get her high on catnip and then she'll be relaxed in the box/container! 😄 😄 😄

Warning: long kitty post ahead asking advice on adopting a third.

Welp, I'm currently talking to my man about adopting a third cat with me - a young, male shelter cat who is listed as being playful and great with other cats, and who will hopefully be a playmate for our other young male, Vlad (and to of course be a loved addition to our family).

Unfortunately, my partner is hesitant to add any additional pets to the mix. This summer, we adopted his daughter's eight-year-old female, Shadow. She is currently separated from Vlad as she's adjusting to his forward, playful personality and I worry that she will ultimately simply tolerate him at best.

Although I want to adopt another to be companion for myself, I also want to find a playmate for my Vlad, who very much loves other cats.  

We have the room for another. Plus, our two kitties are rarely alone and are both greatly loved as both my partner and I plenty of our time at home.

So I'm asking you all (whose opinions I value) what you would do in my situation and for any additional imput (ie. Does the dynamic change with three cats? Is there anything I should know before adopting from a shelter? etc.). 

Spoiling a picture of the little guy who I have my eye on for cuteness' sake:

Okay, Cutest Cat Ever!  🙂 I see the attraction!

 Every situation is different,  every cat has a different personality , and every combo of cats interacts differently.  Sometimes I think all cats would be happier if they were "only cats," but then, some are definitely happy with a friend!  If your two cats don't get along together yet, you may be jumping the gun here. 

If chronic health problems come up, multiple cat families can be expensive.  

I would not take my healthy cat to a shelter for a visit,  even if immunized, even if that were allowed!  

If you can't keep him, find him a good forever home- He's adorable!

I hope that this works out for you- and for Vlad!    Good luck!  🙂

We started with two cats and added a third when the others were 2 years old. My partner thought it would be a good idea to add a third because our male cat was high energy/loved to play whereas our female was fat and lazy. The goal was to provide a playmate for the male and get the female some exercise. I was hesitant but he convinced me to go along with getting a kitten from the shelter. We picked out a high energy female kitten. It totally changed the dynamics in our home but not for the better. The new kitten ended up being very unhappy in our home- hid all the time and ran away if you entered the room, picked fights with the other cats, hissed/scratched, etc. Our female ignored it but our male  ended up having behavior issues from the stress of the new kitten's demeanor and ended up urinating everywhere nonstop. After 2 years of this we ended up giving the new female to a friend and things changed. I think the female cat needed to be a solo pet in a home. 

So, my suggestion is to see if there is an opportunity for your cats to meet the new one prior to adoption. I think our circumstance was somewhat unique but this cat was also listed by the shelter as playful and loves other cats. Maybe this cat just hated ours lol. Also take a good look at their health prior to adoption because all of our cats were shelter cats and 2 had/have health issues that were not disclosed prior to adoption (1 died within 2 months of adoption and the other has chronic respiratory issues). If possible, ask about the story of how the cat came to the shelter in case there is something you should be aware of (I.e. abuse) as it could help with the transition home.
