“Came Home With 2”: Pics Of People’s Adopted Pets, Which Make ‘Adorable’ An Understatement (October Edition)
October nearing its end means more than just Halloween fast approaching. Here at Bored Panda, the end of the month typically brings a moment to appreciate people who have provided critters in need with a forever home; consequently, it’s also the time to marvel at the pics of their adorable additions to the family.
Scroll down for the October edition of wholesome pictures of adopted pets in their new homes and see for yourself how far a little love and care can go. Do it at your own risk, though—some of these pictures can really melt your heart.
In order to learn more about what life might be like if one chose to adopt a cat, for instance, Bored Panda turned to Professor of Biology and Director of the Living Earth Collaborative, Jonathan Losos, who agreed to share his insight on feline behavior; you will find it in the text below.

Wife And Daughter Went To Adopt A Cat, Came Home With 2 (Sisters)
Bouche and Audi and Shyla, Oh My! 2 years ago
As annoyingly messy and painful as it gets, my favorite stage is two to six months. They have no sense in their fluffy little heads, and everything they do is hilarious and cute, no matter how much they accidentally scratch. Within a few months, they'll be able to control their bodies, and the stuff they knock over and kill will be deliberate.

I have two girls that I adopted when they were 8 weeks old. They had been found and rescued as newborns with their sister and mom. The shelter wanted to keep them together so they would have each other as they adjusted to their new home, and I'm glad that I was able to. If I could have I would have adopted all four! 💕

According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), around 6.3 million companion animals enter animal shelters in the US every year—roughly 3.1 million dogs and 3.2 million cats. With numbers this high, it’s no surprise that quite a few shelters might be overwhelmed by the workload.
To make matters worse, parallel to the abundant numbers of animals, shelters have to deal with a shortage of helping hands. Lack of human resources, including foster support, as well as staffing and volunteer support are among the main problems impacting nearly 90% of animal well-fare organizations, Animal Welfare Advancement reports.

I Drove 4 Hours To Adopt This Girl From A Family Who Didn't Have Enough Time For Her
Fortunately, there are some people who take matters into their own hands and help improve the situation in shelters one adopted critter at a time. ASPCA points out that roughly 4.1 million animals are adopted annually—2 million dogs and 2.1 million cats.
No matter the pet one adopts, life with the critter tends to become quite an adventure. But the oftentimes goofy additions to the family might need time to relax or show their true character upon arriving at their new forever home.

I know that feeling. My dearest cat lives with me for 13 years now (neighbour abandoned him on the street and moved). Never a cuddle cat - if then exclusively with feet. 2 weeks ago he came to me for the first time at night and licked my forehead - since then he comes every night to bed - lies on the lap until i sleep and then snuggles in front of my face. After all this time I didn't expect to get a cuddly little cat; but here we go- he had other plans ❤️

At least they were responsible enough to put him in the safest place possible. Sometimes people find themselves in horrible circumstances, and are ashamed/embarrassed. This is so much better than what many people do.
In order to know what to expect after adopting a pet—a cat, in this case—and to learn what determines their behavior, Bored Panda discussed the subtleties of living with a feline with Jonathan Losos, a professor of biology and the author of The Cat’s Meow: How Cats Evolved from the Savanna to Your Sofa.
One of the main points the expert addressed was the fact that many people are under the impression that cats are aloof loners; but it’s not always the case. “As a result, they think that having a single cat is ok and don’t worry about leaving the cat alone for long periods of time,” he suggested.
“Some cats are ok with that, but many are not—they enjoy interaction with people and, in some cases, with other cats. Often, it is better to adopt two cats simultaneously, particularly when they are littermates.”

He needs a snuggly. And, of course, a soft can-opener to train.
According to Prof. Losos, the need for companionship is a quirk of cat biology, which relates to their predecessor wild cat. “Lions are the only truly social species of wild feline. Everyone is familiar with prides of lions, in which pride members are very friendly to each other, grooming and playing together and lying on top of each other. Females will even nurse each other’s cubs.
“The basis of lion pride sociality is that the females are all related to each other because females tend to remain in the pride, whereas males leave when they approach maturity. The result is that female pride members are mothers-and-daughter, sisters, cousins, and so on.”

I had a hard time naming my kitten. Even had people help me, but nothing fit. His name at the shelter was Landon. That's a no. He was always making me laugh, continously doing the Thriller Cat move and hopping towards me. I looked up comedian names and one struck. I kept saying different names and the one I found. He responded to that name. What was it? George Burns. I only call him George, which I never would have picked, but it suits him purrfectly.
Load More Replies... “It turns out that in some circumstances, domestic cats form very similar social groups. This occurs when there are a lot of cats living in the same place,” the expert explained, pointing out why adopting cats from the same litter might be a good idea. “Like lions, members of a group are very friendly to each other, even sometimes serving as midwives during birth. And, again like lions, group members are related because the females remain with the group, but males leave. Multiple groups can occur in the same place, and group members are not at all friendly to members of other groups.
“As a result, domestic cats have a rule-of-thumb: if I’ve lived with a cat my entire life (or the other cat’s entire life if it is younger), then be friendly, but if I don’t know this cat, then be much more wary. And that’s why, if you’re going to have multiple cats in your household, you’re going to have better success if you adopt littermates.
“That doesn’t mean that bringing unrelated cats into a house can’t work out, but the outcome is much less predictable: sometimes they become good friends, sometimes not,” Losos added.

This Is Jiggles. He Came To My Door With A Very Infected And Maggot Filled Foot. Now He Lives Here But Refuses To Pay Rent
Black Cat 2 years ago
I'm guessing he refuses to do any housework too. A freeloader if you will.
“Another issue with adopting a cat is not realizing that cats are extremely intelligent, curious beings. They need mental stimulation. New toys, new smells, new objects to explore,” Prof. Losos told Bored Panda.
“They like to climb, both because of their curiosity and because they feel safer from a high vantage point. The reason for that is that in the wild, their ancestor, the African wildcat, is not only a consummate predator, but also potential prey to larger predators like leopards and hyenas. Getting off the ground is a way of being safe, and this urge remains in our household pets (probably reinforced when living with dogs or little children).”
These feline characteristics might require the new owners to make certain adjustments around the house or buy an additional item or two (a tall scratching post, for instance). But let’s be honest—it’s likely to end up being more than two as anyone with a pet knows how dangerous a game buying toys for their critter can be.

Reddit, Meet The Little Girl We Just Adopted!
It’s fairly clear that cats tend to have quirks the owner has to get used to, but their quirky, often unpredictable behavior is one of the main reasons people enjoy being around them. Professor Patricia Pendry of Washington State University pointed out that sometimes the feline’s behavior might even make the owner feel special.
“The subtle and somewhat unpredictable responses cats give us, give us the perception that we are chosen—or perceived as ‘special’ when a response from a cat does occur,” she told Medical News Today. She added that because the response from a cat might take some time to emerge, people tend to be very curious about what it will do, which might result in them giving the critter their undivided attention.

As a teenager, we had a feral cat that would let us tame her kittens. One of them was a golden tabby, but her markings were very weird. Fat, dark patches of brown mixed in with the stripes. Physically, the ugliest kitten ever, though extremely sweet. My brother called her Ugly, and it stuck. A friend of mine adopted her, but said she couldn't call the kitten Ugly. I was taking Spanish, and suggested Feo (we thought she was a he). Feo grew into her patches and turned into a physically stunning adult cat.

Word of advice from the voice of long experience: Museum Glue/Putty. I see the nice vase of flowers and cards there. Better to make sure they can’t be tipped over by securing the vase to the table. Anything nice that’s breakable and/or you don’t want chewed up and turned into a toy—-because sometimes they like to choose their own toys either out of the trash can or from amongst your belongings—-either put in a safe place or use the museum glue/putty to secure it. As for the trash can thing, with any pet it’s a good idea to make sure ALL your trash cans and waste paper baskets are covered. Anything crinkly or brightly colored that’s small enough to pull out and play with is just way too tempting, regardless of what it is. It’s all 100000% worth it, btw. Enjoy a lot of years of love and laughs with your new baby!

There are also other animals out there who are aggressive. Not to mention cars and other vehicles out there that sometimes don’t see small animals—-and a*****e drivers who don’t care even if they do see them. So if this baby had been a homeless stray for a while, then the answer is yes, she had it rough. Your job, OP, is to make sure she never ever has it rough again, for the rest of her life.

I Adopted A Kitten With A Bite Record
Tabitha 2 years ago (edited)
Once out of the chaotic atmosphere of the animal shelter—-after the upheaval of losing their previous home (if they had one), being a homeless stray then getting rescued, or of losing their home and being surrendered to the shelter—-and into a calm, safe, secure, and loving home, “biters” no longer feel fear, so stop lashing out. I’ve adopted notorious “biters” before, and not a single one of them ever bit me. I gave them their space and let them take all the time they needed before they decided to come and check me out all by themselves. That is how a “biter” becomes a sweet cuddle bug.

New Hampter...he Is Not Very Happy To Be Adopted

I know people like that. I called them “toasted marshmallows”, because they act all hard and crusty on the outside but they’re actually soft and sweet on the inside.

First Time Cat Owner

You are in for a real treat! Cats are wonderful animals, and every one of them is a unique individual. I’ve had cats my whole life, and I’m 62 now. I have loved every single minute of the ride, because I always had the best fuzzy little companions with me. My husband climbed in 22 years ago, and the whole kit and caboodle of us have been enjoying the ride ever since!

Wife And I Got Got By The Cat Distribution System

I think the Cat Distribution System is ignoring me. I lost one cat a few months ago and my house void, Loki, is lonely. He needs a friend.
