🥰💕❤️ Too too cute for words!!!

Aww! So cute. 🥰

One of our kitties does that too. If cats only knew how cute they are...

So funny, I was just scrolling FB and cats came up.

Or this

But....this has to be my favorite

Those are hilarious, Eld!

I have Yin and Yang here on the sofa.

For those who don’t know: these are Not Our Cats.

Cat house/patio table we bought for NOC 2 (NOC 1 is in the house, usually). It’s not visually pleasing, but cats come before everything, right?

She loves her house. :D

😸

Love those funnies, eld!

And Jiiiiiiiiinx... those little cuties AYC! 😽😹

I've had several cats, but only one who liked shoes. She would lie half in, half out. Once when I had friends over, lounging around on the floor, one had a prosthetic leg that he took off. The cat was in heaven, she stretched out along the leg with her head on the shoe. Love our cats!

I love that the cat in #18 has its own prayer rug.

Ida, that is so sweet.

So cute! Thanks for sharing all of the pics of your kitties.

OMG - that is so precious!

Do you know where the NOC's belong?

We had a cat decades ago now (best cat ever) walk in one day and decided to stay. We knew where he lived but he just kept on coming back. Then my DH did make the mistake of feeding him. The owner came over one day and of course, the cat was in the front hall sleeping and he said that they were moving and did we want to keep the cat and of course, we said yes.

Turns out the cat was quite unhappy at their place. They had a young baby, the mom cat and a dog and it was all too much for the cat that adopted us. Julius (a long haired orange tabby) lived a long and spoiled life until he died at 20. He's been gone now for 15 years and we all still miss him.

Blfenton, your story reminds me of a golden retriever that went to a neighbor everyday and slept at her house. They finally left a note on the dog exposing that the dog showed up everyday and slept at their house.

The next day they got a response that with four young children in the family, the dog needed peace and quiet.

Sweet pic, Ida 😊

This is what my kitty liked to do, whenever hubby left his pants laying on the bed. I thought it was funny:

She was stray that showed up in yard starving and missing a lot of fur. As you can see it grew back very nicely, and she was the best cat ever, too. She also was around 20 when she finally left us.

Ida, so cute! So are all the other funny kitties.

blfenton, ours came over from next door, not long after we moved here. They (neighbors) know ... they came in one day and both kitties were napping inside. We had a good laugh. :) They have quite a few big dogs that I think scare our NOCs, so they prefer to be over here. We love them so much, they have our hearts! NOC Tabby lives mostly here, but goes back home once in a while. NOC Tortie has become a permanent resident, I don’t think she’s been back over there in over a year. ❤️

Oh Jinx, that is so funny. Rather like what happened to us. I love the NOC title, however.....do you have their favourite cat food in the pantry?

I do! 😄

Here's the same little guy, "nursing" on his hu-mom's pink bathrobe. He did this from the moment we brought him home, and I'm sure it is a throwback to the fact that he was bottle fed as a baby. DH thought he would outgrow the desire to do this, but noooo. He has a plaintive cry that sounds like a babydoll with a "maaamaaaaa" voicebox, and he uses it until I slip into the robe and we go off to cuddle so that he can "nurse". He loves it. My robe becomes slobbery and crunchy, but hey, that's what washing machines are for. 😸

@IdaClaire: That’s a handsome fellow you’ve got there! At first glance, I thought to myself, “What Slippers?? I don’t see any slippers,” which begs the question: have you ever searched high and low for those slippers only to realize that they were sitting on that lovely rug the whole time?

To those of you involved in NOC (that’s a new one for me, btw!) situations, how do you not become possessive of the cat? I think I would have a hard time not having “official” say so or input into things like the cat’s medical care or its food and shelter needs—especially if the cat was to spend the majority of its time at my house!

Sammy, good question! It’s been a learning experience for sure. For us, the neighbors (very nice people, we get along well) seem fine with us kind of taking over. I almost said “taking ownership”, then remembered we’re talking about cats here. They own us. Especially tabbies. 😄

Anyway, we take them for vet visits, feed them, shelter them. The neighbors have a lot of pets, and are fine with sharing these two, thank goodness. I agree with you, it’d be weird if both houses were possessive! Curious to hear if that’s happened to anyone here.

As I type this, NOC 1 (he was first to come over) is sprawled out napping on my bed. 😹

For those who haven't seen it, here is a whole bunch of funny pics of NOC's

Not my cat

Thanks for posting Olychick. That's how we got the best cat ever. He just walked in and stayed.

Our little girl loves to loaf on DH’s Sketchers. Never mind there is a cat bed right behind her.

My kitty who just passed away used to pretend nurse on my clothes when he was a kitten. He did grow out of it, but it was too cute.

From Oly’s link .... “live trap” 😂

I used to take care of my friend's yard. When I would go in, I'd take off my work boots inside the door. Her male cat was infatuated, probably with the smells of outside. He would sniff and rub and have some intimate moments with my boots. More than once I found him head down, neck deep in one. Blech!😂
