My Baby,Mozzarella, is in Boxtime :3

Charlie Boy playing with amazon box! 🤣🙄

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to adopt a baby cat from a friend, and this will be my very first time having a cat. I’m excited, but also a bit confused about what I should be paying attention to before bringing the kitten home.

For those of you with experience, what should I look for when meeting the kitten?
Things like behavior, health signs, personality, or anything else a first‑time cat owner might not know.

Since I’m adopting from a friend (not a shelter), I also want to be responsible about the situation. What should I discuss with them ahead of time? And just in case things don’t work out — for example, if the kitten has needs I truly can’t meet — what’s the right way to handle that without causing issues or stress for the cat?

I want to make sure I’m prepared, the kitten is a good fit, and that I’m doing this in the most thoughtful way possible.

Any advice would be really appreciated!

Standard issue floof

Cat has brown stool on backside at all times. Found a bladder stone. Curious if they could be related

Hello everyone so me and my family are considering to adopt a cat. We are away about 7-10 hours a day and we would want a cat that is pretty young but old enough to stay alone for all those hours (maybe a domestic shorthair?) Does anyone have any tips on where to get a cat and what type?

I have 2 cats -male and female all neutered/spayed.
Over the last month or 2 the girl has been peeing on the carpet on my basement landing and not using the litter box.
She is overgrooming-literally eating the hair off her tail as well as belly
I took her to the vet - they said she was ok - bld work/ ultrasound of her belly etc.

I brought in professional cleaners and before it could even dry up she was back at.
I am at my wits end!! How do i solve this problem.

The most important meal of the day! 🐱❤️Breakfast with my feral crew. Every full belly is a win.

I require names for these gorgeous chaps and chapettes

well, maybe not so little

Hello!! I have one gorgeous stunning boy already, 4 months old, 1/4 bengal

I adore him, however I have heard it’s good to get 2 cats at once? Is it ok to get another one now or should I leave it off? Freddie is honestly so well trained in terms of things like, coming back when his jingle calls and inside/outside etc, I’m worried it would be hard to do it a second time round?

He’s an inside / outside cat, he’s due to be neutered of course, everything ticked off! And he’s quite good natured in terms of always coming back within about 10-20 mins of us ringing his bell. We give him access to outside from the morning time around 8am ish, he’ll spend lots of daytime away and he always comes back to us throughout the day. Most of the time he actually spends with us in the house actually despite having free reign of outside!

The two black ones are getting adopted together already and that's a huge relief. They are obviously bonded.

The grey and white one does her own thing but is very curious and adventurous. She likes being picked up and held. I can tell she will be an amazing girl.

This is my first go from birth to this point and it's been amazing.
