“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.

I Feel Like My New Adopted Kitty Had A Really Rough Time Before I Got Her
Tabitha 2 years ago (edited)
The world is full of dangers, especially when you’re small. There are some real a******s out there who hate cats (hate all animals, really) and don’t hesitate to show it. 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.

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!
