This can't be comfortable

This is Patches (* I named her that a few days ago from her missing patches of hair). I picked her up late last week at the Mesquite, TX, animal shelter. She was picked up as a stray covered in feces and is approximately 1 yr old.
I was going to hold her until last Saturday (2 days ago) when she was going to another Rescue partner to foster. I fell in love with her and adopted her. She is number 7 and every one is like a kid to me...She's so awesome. She'll have a great home she deserves. As this is being typed she is sleeping a foot away. She follows me everywhere I go.

Leon, if there was a "like" button, I'd click it.

That's awesome, Leon. Good on you.

These 2 varmint's, (all grown up now) along with 2 others, were found at a trailer park and the lady who took these 2 in ended up being allergic to cats.
Same mother, different fathers as one is a Turkish Angora and the other a Nebelung.
My son name them Phineas and Ferb after his childhood favorite cartoon.

I refer to the white one, Phineas, as the Turkish Terror as he is a rather busy cat who needs quite a bit of attention.
Ferb is the complete opposite but does have some of his brothers traits and some we have no doubts that he's picked up from his brother, but overall I believe he is likely the most gentle cat I have ever owned.

The Bing and Cleo Show from December 2023. Bing (Clawsby) is the grey tabby and Cleo (Cleocatra) is or our little black cat. They are siblings and just turned three years old this month.

Leon- Great work. That's probably the most comfortable feeling that dog has ever had in its whole life.

90% of each day is spent tending to cats - the three rescuees (is that a word?) we have inside, and (literally!) no fewer than 10 strays outside who we feed and provide shelter for each and every day and night. It is insane how many feral cats are trying to survive outside in California. I've always been a dog guy, but it really saddens my heart, so we do what we can.

To tug at the heartstrings and get a cheap "Awwwww...," I present our newest, rescued from the street, jump about cutie, Hopps, named as an ode to a (now-defunct?) baseball card brand...
