Many of the cats in this post are pure white. Are white cats rare? I lost my beautiful ex feral white boy to throat cancer a few months ago and then woke up one morning and found another pure white stray sitting on my front door step. Coincidence? Does attracting pure white cats mean something? Anyone know?

Such a majestic angel! My camera would have turned this into a white blur

Why you should NOT have a cat if you're trying to sleep.

One of my cats would jump on me in bed from the rafters. It was a little game we played each night.

What kind of camera did they use? Mine would just be a white blur instead of this majestic angel

Real Cat’s not all that please with the snow statue that’s supposed to be him. Real Cat’s pulling out Snow Cat’s whiskers, one by one. Already got all of them on the right side.

There’s always one in every litter. The friendly greeter. Not a bit afraid of humans. Will calmly approach and be incredibly cute and sweet. Like they chose you, and only you, especially. Of course it totally melts you and you adopt them on the spot—-if you have even one heart cell still alive, that is.

Kittens are like infants. They can go to sleep ANYWHERE in an instant, and sleep the sleep so deeply it’s like the sleep of the dead. I wish I slept like that.

This is what I WANTED when I adopted my second cat. Instead, little brother bops big sister in the literal bútthole 50 times a day with his paw. Big sister responds with goblin noises and runs off. Little brother gives chase, resulting in more goblin noises from big sister. Rinse and repeat XD
