My cat passed away around 2 years ago now. I miss him a lot, but just haven’t been financially stable enough to adopt another.
Could you post nice stories and funny things about your cat(s) and talk about how much you love them? Thank you!

That said, I have no reason to believe that OP is trying to crack accounts. They seem to be a normal Lemmy user.

Sick burn! 😎🔥
This is my cat Cygnus. I named him after Cygnus x-1 which is thought to be a black hole. He’s a very very smart cat. He does tricks eg. shake, opens doors etc.
How does he open doors? I’d love to hear more 🙂
He stands on his back two legs, takes both paws and grabs the door knob and tries to turn it. If the door isnt closed that well, i.e somewhat ajar, he can actually open it. The last black cat I had that I inherited from my uncle did the same thing. He’ll also “knock” if he can’t get through a door. And by “knock” I mean he’ll find the nearest loose bit of wood or paneling or something that he can grab hold of, pull it a little then let go so it snaps back and makes a fairly loud noise.

3 AM. Lorelei has no sense of personal space.
Lorelei, you are so special and good! 💖
Murphy is 20 years old and is deaf now, but still jumps up onto my lap and occasionally chases after strings. They told us he was found in a storm drain. He has been with us through 4 moves, the last time being just a week ago where he survived a 17-hour drive in a cramped car and pooping in a moving vehicle. He is a survivor and a sweetheart.
He loves rump smacks (cat bongos) and this rug. He especially loves rump smacks while on this rug.
Hmm, why is she special…? I think the picture really puts it into perspective.

Oh, that’s true!
It’d be fun to hear the names, but I understand if people don’t say or use a different name.
That’s on them then. Password managers are free and have been around for a while, no excuses using personal information in a password anymore.
I have three, but one is particularly “special.”
I found him kind of mangled in a parking garage. He screams when he gets excited, it’s hilarious. There’s always a new noise from him. He comes into a room then you can see that he forgot why he came in, but at the same time he can open complex handles on windows that have push buttons. We affectionately call him an idiot savant, but he’s so sweet.
Oh yes. He also loves belly rubs, he really demands them. He also likes feet massages. Bizarre little kitty.
Omg I love his photos so much!!
May I introduce Cleo and Sebastion! Sebastion is very talkative and shows lots of love, but from a distance. Cleo is a sweetie and will come and lay on my chest at night, and also find anything to make noise with in the morning, so I’ll wake up and feed them. They generally love each other and never fight, but sebastion can go into what I call Crack head mode, and anything goes then.
He’s just always there for me.
My cat is the very definition of a cat, totally aloof, fiercely independent, kind of an asshole. She only acknowledges my presence when she wants to eat. She loved to bait the dogs and get them in trouble for chasing her. No guests in our house have ever seen her. The only times she even allows me to pet her is when she has a mat she wants me to get out.
The only exception is with my daughter. She absolutely loves her. As long as no one else is around she will love all over her. This picture was from about 2 years ago when my daughter got a nasty cold, and she watched over her the entire time. She even turned around and yelled at me shortly after taking this picture because my daughter started having a small coughing fit.
This is Alice. I got her at the same time as I got Milo, about 12 years ago now. Milo passed way in 2022 and I miss him all the time. He was my buddycat, Alice is my bunnycat. She’s soft, fluffy, sweet, and lazy. She loves a warm spot and a lap to cuddle on, though since she’s about 16 years old now, she can’t really jump up onto things anymore. We also adopted a little lunatic kitten named Chess, and she hates him passionately. We keep her sequestered away from the kitten and the new dog we also adopted, but the little bastard loves her so much and wants nothing more than to be her best friend. He sits on the other side of the door and sings to her all day. She just hisses back. She’s entitled to be crotchety though. Sometimes we take her out and bring her onto the couch and set her up with some lap time and she just curls up in a ball until Chess comes along, at which point she hisses ceaselessly until he goes away.
Unrequited love, what a sad story.
This is Chess:
What can you tell us about your cat and what made it special to you? When was the last time it made you laugh?
He was an exotic shorthair tabby who was given to a shelter because he didn’t look f×cked up enough. He was adopted but the owner got a younger, more playful cat, so they put him on Craigslist where I found him.
His shelter name was “Luigi”, but when I saw him, I immediately changed it to “Waluigi”. It fit him so perfectly.
He snorted when he got excited and looked angry all the time, despite being the friendliest gremlin you’d ever meet. He loved all creatures of different species and nothing frightened him. He made me laugh every single day.
He stayed away completely from people-food, with two notable exceptions: ranch dressing and Taco Bell. I still don’t fully trust either, tbh.
I loved him so much. Still miss him every single day. Not sure I’ll ever find such a wonderful cat ever again.
This is Simon. His favorite thing is the arm of the couch. He yells at you until you spank his ass, and then he sticks his butt up high and his tongue comes out.
Also, he can’t meow. He just chortles like a penguin. He also does this when he runs, so it sounds like he’s making a vrooom sound as he bolts past you.
ohhh he is special, awesome 😄
Can climb a screen door like nobodys business
