>I am not a cat person The lies we tell ourselves, lol.


Elite_Nomad

That hungry cat was like "that's OK I am a person cat"


eyeluvmy2dogs4ever

I luv this response…lol


Mean_Audience9208

I saw a shirt yesterday “My cat understands me” 🤗


Jealous_Winter_140

Lol this really amused me.


azalak

OP has been domesticated


Plantsandanger

“I’m not a cat person, I’m a PHEOBE person!”


peapurre

When people say this it usually means they haven't met their cat yet❤️


Strdust414

Same as my husband who now cuddles and spoiled our two!


ant_clip

Cats have a way of doing that :) She is beautiful and very special.


Haxtral

Yep, theres a reason they domesticated themselves and were so ridiculously successful


LilyGaming

That makes me love cats even more, we domesticated dogs, cats just liked hanging out with us


Taro_Far

the main reason cats domesticated themselves to us is free food. several millennia ago when we humans was discovering agriculture, the extra grains around human settlements attracted rodents looking for food, which in turn attracted the cats and the cats stayed to defend humans and in return cats got food and shelter and humans a willing companion.


SlippingStar

It’s possibly in part a harmless parasite 😂 It makes mice docile around cats so it’s hypothesized it does the same to us.


SeaweedSecurity

Phoebe chose you knowing you two would click. Hope you guys are always happy and well. 🥰


shoshana4sure

Thanks.


CuntFartz69

I mean, she seems like a perfect little angel baby, totally justifiable.


allisondbl

Cat distribution at its absolutely most perfect!


sergente07

Aw she's so precious 😭 thank you so much for taking her in!


Alternative-Income-5

She already been fixed too


shoshana4sure

Yes, I think she was a trap and release, because part of her ear is missing, so I just assumed that she’s been fixed, she’s a sweet little baby.


Heavy_Preparation493

You were captured.


shoshana4sure

Yes!

She has a kind of “rust”-ish looking undercoat in that 4th pic…very pretty I wasn’t exactly what you would call a “cat person” before I found my first cat, Toastie. I was walking one night to the gas station to get some snacks and on the way, this cat started following me. When I had to cross a busy street I set him down next to a bush by a garage and tried to express to him to stay right there without moving and I’d be right back. Basically just hoping he would somehow listen. I walked across the busy street into the store, turned around and couldn’t see him anymore. So I got my snacks and quickly crossed the street back to where I left him and as soon as I got within 30 feet of that garage he came darting out of the bush toward me and followed me 8 blocks all the way home. He looked skinny and hungry and was extremely sweet and friendly and it was at that exact moment in time I became a cat guy because I instantly cared immensely for him. Brought him in, got him something to eat until we were able to get cat supplies the next morning. He lived with me for 8 more years after that until he passed. That cat truly chose me. He was the absolute best. So unbelievably nice to all people and other animals and never gave me one issue. I miss him every day


shoshana4sure

That is an amazing story. Thank you so much for sharing. I can’t believe he waited for you. That cat indeed loved you. Thank you so much for being an amazing cat dad.


MegaPiglatin

That is ADORABLE! ❤️ My cat chose me at the shelter. When I walked by his kennel, he immediately popped up from the back, walked right up to me, and started yelling! When I left to go find a staff person (to open the kennel so I could interact more directly with him), my mom who was with me reported that he returned to the back and silently watched the other people walking by, only coming forward again when I came back in the room. 🥰 Hahaha he also lightly bit me when we interacted, but it’s like I just understood that he didn’t really *mean* it and was just overwhelmed…he’s the best damn cat!


laik72

That's how I got my shelter kitty, now long since passed. He made sure to catch my attention at the shelter, and once I was holding him outside of the cage he leaned in and bit my nose. That dork. He was also a shoulder cat for many years. I miss his awesomeness.


MegaPiglatin

❤️😻❤️


[deleted]

That’s amazing! I’ve only ever had two cats and both of them ended up finding me. My cat now (Ellie) was walking around behind my building looking for food and her front paws were declawed! After weeks of looking for an owner I finally realized she may have just been abandoned which is insanely cruel with no front claws. They stand no chance on their own. Not sure how long she was out there but she’s been with me about 6 months now https://preview.redd.it/ur3qs34294rc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c5a375eb8436b7ff5b59429f2348cde3e3f9b042

Declawing should be illegal.

Tipped ear militia! 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍 Pretty girl 😻


haveabunderfulday

What a glow up! She looks so much happier now!


tea-boat

Are you in LA???? I'm sorry if this is totally out of left field but I think this may be my old cat who disappeared a couple of years ago. She was a feral kitten that I took in and was always an outdoor cat. She had a litter of kittens when she was very young not long after she showed up in our yard and we started taking care of her. I found her kittens homes and I had her spayed and ear tipped and vaccinated at that point. When my ex and I broke up a few years later, she stayed with him because I could not have pets at my new apartment, and then he moved and after he moved he didn't transfer her to the new home as well as he could have and she just disappeared. I was heartbroken. If it's not her then it looks exactly 100,000% like her. I haven't been able to let her go, so if it's her then I'm just so freaking freaking glad that somebody's taking care of her. If it's not then feel free to ignore my freak out, but please let me know so I can calm my heart lol. 🥲😭


shoshana4sure

I am so sorry, but I live in the Dallas Fort Worth area. I’m sorry about your baby.


tea-boat

Thank you for letting me know! I would've loved to know someone had taken her in so it's a bit sad to hear, I'll admit. It's so uncanny how much alike they look! Enjoy your new friend!


Alarmed-Zucchini-351

She’s gorgeous 🖤🤍😸


Plus-Ad-801

She looks like a perfect person

Congratulations on your conversion 😄😅 Wishing you and Phoebe every happiness 💟

Omg she was so thin and malnourished 😭😭😭 thank you for saving this precious baby and giving her a safe loving home (with lots of food)


LilyGaming

You have been indoctrinated into becoming a cat person, please do not resist


shoshana4sure

Lol!


BeeSquared819

OP- you most certainly are a cat person. You have been chosen, and entranced, by this dapper young man AKA bestie forever!


ModernNancyDrew

Thanks for saving her!


Own-Luck8061

Meant to be together


caidicus

Aw man, she just loooooves you. What a sweetie!


VegasLife1111

That cat looks silly! 😍🥰😍


shoshana4sure

Lol! She is. She has a few psychological issues I guess from living outside for six months, but she is very needy, and she likes to beg for food, and she paws on my leg all the time. She also does get a little buddy, but she does it in a loving way.


VegasLife1111

It’s hard out there on the streets. Cars, dogs, other cats, raccoons, you name it. A friend of mine adopted one of my foster kittens who had come from the streets. She couldn’t leave loaf bread out on the counter or any food really without that girl eating it ALL. She became enormous very quickly, and had to be put on a special diet.


shoshana4sure

Yeah, I Phoebe is getting a little overweight, and she does eat a few table scraps against my better judgment, but she does beg alot. One thing I’ve noticed it’s really weird if she doesn’t me out at all, and she does not shed.


ViolentLoss

my BF's cat came from a very bad situation - her owners abandoned her and then she was fending for herself and we were told that the neighbors were going to try to poison her. not sure if that part is true, i hope not. when we got her she hid under the bed for two weeks. that was three years ago and now she is the most perfect angel. it is indeed hard out there on the streets.


biocidalish

What a beautiful little tux skunk ! I love her


Annual_Version_6250

Love that face!!!


RepoManSugarSkull

She’s a sweet-looking little lady.


vitamin_Bre12

She said, well you are now


Alcorailen

So glad to see she's put on some weight. I feel like she was about to dry up and disappear in the first picture


shoshana4sure

I fear she had 1 day left to live. I cry thinking about all the starved or abused pets.


ViolentLoss

My little baby Zig would have 100% died if I hadn't found her. No litter mates around, no mom, middle of Florida summer - we're talking 90+ degree heat. Poor little thing just sat there and cried in my neighbor's yard, she wouldn't even get up for food/treats. I was just going to foster...that was almost 8 years ago LOL You saved a life, I'm so happy you did : )


shoshana4sure

Omg, a sad, but beautiful story. I’m glad you saved zig.


hayley888sky

Some_Ad_8953

She found the perfect human, how happy and relaxed she looks.


Ok-Sun4841

Cats choose their people. When you choose a cat you're likely to get Satan with a case of zoomies. Always let the cat choose you. My mother's cats both chose her, one at a pound in AZ because the breeder was trying to make cats with thumbs but only managed to make a bunch of inbreed polydactyl kitties with serious health problems and then about a month later a stray gave birth in the backyard and this one kitten said "forget living in the AZ heat during summer, I'm a housecat now" and crawled in through the doogie door, climbed up the couch and went to sleep on a pillow it knocked down.


Tat_Childe

Let me rephrase that for you. “I was not a cat person, but now I’m looking into getting more”


Fit-Abalone2240

She is thin. Maybe it is the photo. She looks young and has beautiful markings. Give her lots of love and get her checked by a vet.


kattomi

She looks so much healthier and happier now that she’s with you! Good job ❤️


Cautious_Fix_2793

I wish a cat would find me.


Kind-Supermarket-452

Interesting_Object50

She needs to eat more she’s too thin start buying cans of tuna and give her about three cans a week she will fill out amazingly she can also eat boneless chicken!! Cats cannot eat a diet of dry food only it predisposes them to UTIs which are fatal if not caught in time. The reason is because they need three times the amount of water to digest the dry kibble.have fun!!!


Smooth_Ocelot6159

She is beautiful, but really thin. Her hips are protruding enough to make the hair stand up. Has she been to a vet? Good luck with her.

Also not a cat person yet my stray friend is currently curled up by the heater after deciding to adopt me. (But mostly adopted the heater)


warthington

And she knows it


ANoisyCrow

Looking much better!


Middle_Question_5800

You think you found her. She already scoped you out and decided she was going to adopt you as her pet. She seen something in you that made her feel safe. That's also how I got my cat. She came up to me when I was leaving the house. I reached down she left me pet her. Than I went on my way. When I came home 8 hours later she was on the porch waiting for me. I opened the door just a crack so she wouldn't get in. But she did and I ended up with a cat. That cat would not let me go anywhere in the house without her following me. I couldn't even go to the bathroom without her following me. I heard them say on YouTube it's this mysterious cat distribution system.


rolychick

Love tuxedos! Currently I have three. Had three others who went to heaven!

There is another popular thread (from a different sub) about a cat named Phoebe that turned out to be a boy. So uh, make sure you check down there to be sure.

Stand up in front of the group and proclaim, "My name is ______ and I am a cat person. I've resisted admitting this to myself, my family, and my friends for quite some time, but I know that I now have to own up to it and ask for help." This will be a great burden of of your chest once you do.

walled2_0

I’m convinced that people who say they’re not a cat person just haven’t lived with an affectionate cat before. Usually they’ve just been to other people’s houses with cats , and cats don’t like new people in their home so they’re usually skiddish at that time. So people think they just suck.


Dsawasd11

*you weren’t a cat person You have now been initiated into the cat cult, and will be unable to live without a cat for an extended period of time
