Adopted a cat, now I'm the pet

Three weeks ago I rescued Luna from the shelter. Today I realized she's the one who rescued me from my delusions of being the alpha in this house. She's claimed my favorite chair, demands breakfast at 5 AM sharp, and somehow convinced me that buying her a $60 cat tree was "essential." When I work from home, she parks herself directly on my keyboard like she's conducting a board meeting. The best part? I catch myself asking HER permission to use MY own bathroom. She sits outside the door like a tiny furry bouncer, judging my life choices. My friends warned me about the responsibility of pet ownership. Nobody mentioned I'd become the pet. Luna runs this place now, and honestly? I'm not even mad about it. She's got better leadership skills than most CEOs I've worked for. Worth every surrendered chair and dignity point. #CatsOfReddit #AdoptDontShop #CatOwnerLife #Pets #Cats

Cats can see things that humans cannot see

Last week, a relative of mine passed away, so I rushed home to attend the funeral. Due to the distance, we decided to leave the kitten at home and made sure it had plenty of water and food. The day before yesterday, we finished everything and rushed home. For the past two days, I don't know what's wrong, but I've been feeling extremely tired and listless. The kitten isn't as clingy as it used to be and is particularly resistant to my affection. At night, I could sometimes hear its cries, which were not at all cute but rather unsettling. I wonder if you’ve ever heard such cries (they were particularly piercing, like the wails of an abandoned infant). I suspect that perhaps because I visited the cemetery, something followed me home. #Pets #Cats #Horror #Supernatural

My roommate threw my cat a party without me

Came home from a 12-hour shift to find party hats scattered on my floor, empty tuna cans, and my cat looking absolutely smug in the corner. Apparently my roommate decided TODAY was the perfect day to celebrate Whiskers' 3rd birthday — you know, the birthday I've been planning for weeks? The evidence was everywhere: streamer bits in his whiskers, a half-eaten 'cake' (fancy feast on a paper plate), and about 47 photos on my roommate's Instagram of MY cat living his best life. The betrayal in his eyes when I walked in? Nonexistent. This little furball was clearly having the time of his life without me. Worst part? He won't even look at me now. I think he's mad I missed his big day. Currently bribing him with treats and belly rubs, but the damage is done. My own cat had a better social life than me today. #Pets #Cats #petparents

Same parents, different species?

I swear my cats are proof that genetics is just a suggestion. Meet Luna and Max - literal siblings from the same litter who somehow look like they're from different continents. Luna is this elegant, long-haired tortoiseshell princess who poses like she's about to grace a magazine cover. Max? He's a chunky orange tabby who looks perpetually confused and has exactly one brain cell that he shares with the neighborhood squirrels. Their personalities match their looks perfectly. Luna judges everyone from her throne (my expensive cat tree), while Max tries to befriend the vacuum cleaner and regularly gets stuck in paper bags. People constantly ask if they're actually related. Honestly, some days I wonder if the shelter pulled a fast one on me. But watching them groom each other while looking absolutely nothing alike never fails to crack me up. #Pets #Cats #catsofinstagram

Accidentally Became a Cat Parent Overnight

So, last night I heard some frantic meowing outside my window. I thought it was just the neighbor’s cat being dramatic again, but nope—turns out, there was a tiny, terrified furball shivering under my porch. Fast forward to today: I now have a kitten who thinks my laptop is a bed and my hair is a chew toy. I didn’t plan on adopting a pet this week (or, honestly, ever), but here we are. Currently accepting name suggestions and advice on how to keep my new roommate from launching herself at my feet every time I walk by. Anyone else suddenly find themselves responsible for a small, chaotic animal? Please tell me it gets easier. Or at least that I’ll get some sleep eventually. Pics coming soon, if she ever sits still long enough. #CatParent #KittenLife #PetAdoption #Pets #Cats

This Airport Cat Saved My Worst Travel Day

So I'm having the absolute worst travel day at Denver airport—delayed flight, missed connection, full-blown anxiety spiraling. I'm sitting there trying not to cry when this orange tabby just... appears. Walks right up, hops on the seat next to me, and starts purring like we're old friends. Turns out this is Xeli, Denver's only therapy cat. Yeah, apparently airports have therapy animals now, and honestly? Game changer. While everyone expects dogs to be friendly, having a cat choose YOU feels different. Like you've been personally selected for comfort. Xeli just sat there letting me pet her while I waited for my rebooking. No judgment, no questions, just pure feline zen energy. By the time my new flight was called, my panic had completely melted away. Who knew the cure for travel anxiety was getting adopted by an airport cat? Now I'm genuinely considering booking layovers through Denver just for the cat therapy. #Pets #Cats #TherapyAnimals

Why Do People Abandon Pets Like This?

So, I opened my door this morning and found a terrified cat hiding under my car. No collar, no microchip, just a pair of wide, confused eyes staring back at me. I can’t wrap my head around it—how do people just leave their pets behind like they’re yesterday’s trash? I get that life can be hard, but there are shelters, rescues, literally anything better than dumping a living creature outside. Now I’m scrambling to find food, a safe spot, and maybe a forever home for this little guy. Honestly, it’s heartbreaking and infuriating at the same time. If you can’t care for your pet, please don’t just abandon them. They deserve so much better. Anyone else ever dealt with this? What did you do? #PetRescue #AdoptDontShop #AnimalWelfare #Pets #Cats

Babysitting a Furry Bowling Ball

Ever tried to pet-sit a cat that’s basically a living, breathing marshmallow? Meet Mr. Pudding, the feline equivalent of a weighted blanket. His hobbies include sitting on my laptop, judging my snack choices, and rolling (not walking) to his food bowl. I thought cat-sitting would be chill. Turns out, it’s more like being a personal assistant to a very round, very opinionated boss. He yells if his water isn’t cold enough. He sighs dramatically if I don’t fluff his bed just right. And every time I try to move him off my keyboard, he flops back down with the force of a small planet. Still, there’s something comforting about having a chubby little shadow following me around. Even if he does steal my chair every time I stand up. Anyone else ever feel like their pet is secretly running the show? #Pets #Cats #CatSitting
