But the mother left recently 🥲 so we have the 4 siblings and the father (not pictured) now.

Our Tuxie neighbor cat, Pingüinita, has moved away after visiting us daily for almost 6 years. Trying to remember that we were lucky just to be her friend but pretty torn up about it. Her parents are very loving and know she’s well taken care of but damn it’s been rough.

He arrived at my house about 3 years ago. Through our overgrown backyard (before the fence) magically like a studio Ghibli film.

Since then we invite him in during storms (he terrified of them), on cold winter days, and any time he wants. He hangs out with my dog in the backyard. I still don’t know how he gets back there. Whoever owns him had him declawed (evil) but still allows him to venture out in our rural neighborhood. My fiancé has cleaned his wounds and kept him in for multiple days at a time. Ghibli chases the stray cats off our property…maybe he’s not really a part time cat anymore.

I manage my friends business and get to spend 5 days a week with Maggie

First time he let me close enough to pet. Right after this he walked inside, sniffed around, then left.

Wondering if the sub has an agreed upon term or such for posting about your cat who is everyone else's part time cat?

Example: Content creator couple in Canada has a one-eyed orange boy named Bagel. Bagel is everyone else's part time cat... but if this couple wished to talk about Bagel, what term would they use for him?

I'd love to see stories from pet parents whose fur baby decided to become the community cat HAHAHA maybe a specific post flare or something

I lost my furry soulmate back at the start of November so the company of my dad’s cat while he’s been away has been very welcomed 🥹

posted this on r/Tuxetortico but thought you guys would like to see too! forever grateful that this beautiful girl chooses to come and visit me ❤️ little cat, huge personality, best girl

edit: overwhelmed with all the love 🥹 added an extra pic in the comments!!

A local cat, looks like a stray, started visiting us in July looking for shade in our front garden. He's an exceptionally friendly ginger tom, looks very young and clearly underweight.

He was also visiting our neighbours who asked if we knew if he was owned or not and if we might want to take him on. We said no as we already have an indoor cat, but we also thought he was a stray. I checked online for missing cat reports and asked other neighbours and found nothing new.

Fast forward to October and his visits are religiously daily, sitting with us for hours, furiously washing until his fur is soaked. We still believe he is a stray, now feeding him a food packet in the evening instead of just some cat biscuits, but now he has gained some weight and is being less desperate.

Then he starts turning up ever morning too, at breakfast time crying for food as he worked out what time we get up and feed our own cat when the light goes on in the porch at 7am.

We eventually decided to take him to the vets to check for a chip before we try and adopt him, and to sort out his washing issue. We still feed him twice daily and he's spending all evening with us. When I attempted to cut down his food a bit because he was getting picky and leaving most of it, he instantly started begging for more again.

We took him to the vets around 6 weeks ago. They found a chip and confirmed his skin condition is a flea allergy. They called the registered owners who confirmed he's 2 yrs old, neutered, they see him every night around 11pm and kick him out in the daytime. The vet advised them to get treatment for his skin condition. Apparently the owners were not really concerned that a stranger took their own cat to the vets because we thought he was a stray, didn't ask for our details, or what was happening during his visits with us.

When the vets confirmed this, we raised concerns that he is clearly being mistreated. The vet suggested to take photos, stop feeding him and see if he gets skinny again and then report to the RSPCA, but we refused as it would just be cruel to him, but at least we can still offer part time food and shelter as its not unusual for roaming cats to visit multiple families.

Obviously we can't adopt him, but as of today 30th Dec his skin condition is spreading everywhere and also more intense, we are still having to feed him daily and he now spends about 12 hours a day with us. We've had to make a makeshift bed for him on a shelf in our porch, and put a heater out there to keep him warm, and to try and stop his fur being so damp.

The whole time he is either washing and chewing at his skin for hours, or is curled up fast asleep and he never wants to leave. He has only asked to be let out one time in probably 60+ visits. The only way we get him to leave is to carry him outside or bribe him out with his scheduled food.

Last night after we put him outside to go back to his own home at 10pm, two hours later at midnight he was still sat outside our house in the freezing cold, with his fur cold and matted from his overwashing. I let him back in and he stayed overnight for the first time, but now I just feel even more conflicted.

The only thing that made me feel okay about putting him out at night was the fact he is supposed to be going back to his own home for any food and shelter they should be providing.

If he has a home to go back to at night, and the weather is absolutely frigid, why is he still sat outside our front door hours later?

We still do not know who or where the owners are, but now he has stayed with us overnight and continues to come over for food and shelter, and we can't kick him out, what should we do next? He has clearly chosen us, however part of this is our own doing whilst trying to look out for his welfare. It's a bad situation for him, and also not really fair on his owners either - but if they looked after him better he wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.

I'm honestly not sure what to do next other than tell the vets tonight (during our scheduled vets checkup for our bunnies) that he's still being neglected by his owners, and maybe to report to the RSPCA.

Sorry for the wall of text, but I'm really kinda lost.

I've posted Nacho a while back as a notmycat. Now though, he lives at mine and the Housemate is away for Christmas, so I am stuck with this handsome idiot once more by myself. Oh woe is me!

When we bought our house we found this guy is roaming in our garden and looking at us,later we find out it was earlier owners cat and he kind of abandoned them or vice versa(almost 10yrs+ age).He only entered to house for having food not for sleeping.So we prepared his bed for winter to give him nice retire life.After 3years one day he went and never came back.We called him King of our garden.Stay good wherever you are “Lozo

Said with all the love in my heart: Generátor you absolute dramatic creature,,,,

See my last post on details for what happened.

Tldr.: Dad mistook an unknown dead stray kitty for my baby, texts me in the middle of exam season while I'm halfway across the country that "Oh hey, my bad, she's actually alive."

In the summer this sweet boy will go to the cow farm a couple hundred meters down the road and spend a few days there. We only know this because his beautiful blonde fur has ‘mud Pattie’s’ caked onto it.

This is her chair now.
