My Rescue Took In This Underweight, Matted Cat, And I Can’t Believe The Transformation
Philip weighed a little over 2 pounds, even though he was 13 months old. His fur was so matted that it had to be shaved. Fortunately, he didn’t mind the sweaters that kept him warm and protected his fragile skin. He is much healthier now and has all of his fur back!

This shows what a sprinkle of kindness, a spoonful of patience and A cup of love, can do. Thank you to all of you who are there to nurse our PRECIOUS little ones back to life.
Bored Panda got in touch with Joey Lusvardi, Certified Cat Behavior Consultant at Class Act Cats and he was kind enough to answer some of our questions. First and foremost, cats can often be pretty aloof, so we wanted to hear what sort of behavior is evidence that your cat likes you.
“Cats can show affection and that they like us in a variety of ways. The most straightforward one is that your cat will seek out spending time near you. They may not always be sitting on your lap, but they may curl up next to you or will follow you from room to room. Your cat may make biscuits and purr.”

One Year Of Good Care And Love
Cecilia Herrera 1 year ago
Thank you for giving this kitty the first of many good years to come.
“Cats might also do a behavior called bunting where they give you a “love headbutt.” This is a way of them saying they want their pheromones all over you because you’re something they like. It’s not an aggressive behavior despite potentially seeming aggressive. As odd as it may sound, your cat tolerating some of the annoying things we do to cats is another sign they really like you. For example, if you pick your cat up in a way that is uncomfortable and your cat lets you, that means they like and trust you enough to at least put up with being picked up temporarily. That doesn’t mean you should do things to annoy them, but it’s a sign that they like you despite how you interact with them.”

Some cats will always be nervous. I got my youngest from the humane society almost two years ago and she's still an absolute scardy-cat even though her and her sister are well loved and spoiled. And I live alone so my house is very calm.
Cat owners are probably also aware of the ruckus your feline can make, particularly, for some reason, at night, so we wanted to learn more about it. “The “nightly freakout” is likely a case of the zoomies. The technical term is a frenetic random activity period. Basically, the cats will get a sudden burst of energy and run around seemingly without purpose.”

Farmers Were Feeding Kittens To Their Dogs, And I Rescued This Beauty. Before vs. After
A coworker was asking if anyone would adopt kittens because her parents were letting their dogs eat them. I was horrified and volunteered to foster some kittens until I could find homes for them. By the time I found out, there were only two kittens left, and someone else had claimed the other one. I didn’t plan on keeping her. I just wanted to keep her safe.
Two years later, and I still can’t find a home for TieDye.

Absolutely horrific. I once had some barn kittens to give away and a guy said he could use them as coyote bait! He said, oh don't worry, the kittens will be in a cage. I know of some instances where a dog got ahold of a kitten and killed it, but to do it on purpose is just abhorrent

Patricia Smith 1 year ago
There is something really twisted feeding kittens to anything. Shriveled up souls for sure.
“We’re not fully sure why they happen, but one of the most likely explanations has to do with a cat’s hunting cycle. Cats are crepuscular so they are most active around sunrise and sunset. The night zoomies are a manifestation of the cat being ready to hunt and their normal sleep/wake cycle. It could also be due to boredom or a lack of stimulation. If you’re not playing with your cat regularly, you might see them run around at night because they don’t have anything to do. Some cats will also get a sudden burst of energy after they poop. If your cat typically poops at night, it may be the poop zoomies.”

They are my absolute favorite too because of my old gray girl Wintressia, gone these many years. Don't tell my void and my tuxedo that grays are my favorite, though! XD hearthcat1...e35487.jpg 
Similarly, we were also interested to learn if you could train a cat like you would a dog. “Cats can absolutely be trained in similar ways to dogs. Cats are very good at picking up on patterns that get them things they like whether that’s a tasty treat or attention from a favorite human. If you are intentional and careful about rewarding them for a behavior you want them to do more, you can eventually add in a cue to get them to do the behavior in response to it. Cats can do a lot of really neat tricks.”

Love that tablecloth full of gorgeous kittens! Tablecloth is beautiful too!
“An easy one to start with is teaching your cat to touch their nose to your finger. Present your finger to your cat and wait for them to touch their nose to it. When they do, say something like, “great” or “treat.” Quickly give them a treat. Repeat this until they’re doing it reliably. Once they are doing it without issue, you can teach your cat to follow your finger around by gradually adding in movement.”

Sometimes kittens can surprise you when they grow up. My void Jack was the tiny runt of his litter, half the size of his litter mates. I hadn’t weighed him in a year, and recently did a weigh in with him. He’s now 16.8 lbs! He’s not a chonker, either. He’s just a big and tall cat. When he stands all the way up on his hind legs, his head is just past my waist, and I’m 5’6” tall. I don’t think he’s got any Maine C**n or other large breed cat in his DNA, either. He’s just a big, beautiful, cuddly boy.

My vet said my kitten wouldn't get too big because her momma is feral followed by 3 followups of "she'g not going to get much bigger" with her getting a lot bigger. She's now my biggest cat, bigger than my female orange giant.

OMG! She was such a tiny baby! Thank you so much for helping give her a life
While not really that practical, I taught my cat Zoloft to press the Y button on my Nintendo Switch. When I got to the end of Tears of the Kingdom, I had him press the button to deliver the finishing blow to the final boss. I like to say I trained him to vanquish evil. If your cat is physically capable of doing it, you can train them to do almost anything. He was a very smart cat! Not every cat will be as easily trained on every behavior and not every behavior will be easy to teach, but you get a lot of things on a cue if you work at it. Another training tip is to focus on getting your cat to do the behavior reliably before attempting to add in a cue. Your cat doesn’t understand what you’re saying and isn’t ignoring you to be a jerk. They likely don’t know what you’re asking them to do and it will just confuse them if you try to get them to sit by saying “sit” repeatedly when they don’t know what that means yet.”

Lastly, we wanted to hear if he had any remaining tips and tricks. “Not the most exciting thing to train in the world, but it’s a really good idea to get your cat used to taking medications before they need them. It isn’t always easy to get a cat to take medications, but if you prepare ahead of time you can go slower and it will ultimately be less stressful on both of you. I like hiding medications in an empty gelatin capsule because it masks the taste better than just mixing it in foods.”

“A pill launcher is a great tool that you can get your cat to use by making it a fun game. Get them used to licking a tasty treat off the end of the pill launcher. Begin feeding them small pieces of treats with the pill launcher so it becomes associated with some good. After they know that the pill launcher means good things, you can occasionally sneak an empty capsule in between the treats.”

Miso's Progress Of Getting Better And Becoming A Mama's Boy
One day I saw this little cat curled up on the grass while I was walking to the park I worked at. A few days went by and I started to get to work early to look for him, and finally I found him again in a hole in the grass. I called up my boyfriend, and he headed over with a towel, some tuna, and garden gloves.
My boyfriend took him to the emergency vet while I was at work, and as a placeholder name, he put down Miso. After 8 hours of waiting, he was diagnosed with sarcoptic mange along with infections on his ears where the skin was scratched raw, dehydrated, and weighed around 7 pounds. They estimated he was a year old. He stayed quarantined in our bathroom and stayed very food-motivated due to being starved for so long.
Despite eating 1.5x the amount for a cat his age due to being underweight, he still wasn’t gaining weight and at the vet visit we found out he had a tapeworm and the bloodwork determined he also was FIV. This was disheartening to hear, but our veterinarian assured us Miso would be able to have just as fulfilling of a life as any other cat with the right care and precautions.
Miso is now looking very handsome at a nice 10.5 lbs, and I never stop spoiling him with new treats, an automatic feeder, toys, and a water fountain. He’s my baby boy.

The First Day We Met Him vs. Now
Asan was a stray cat who lost his paw to a stray dog while he was trying to escape. Luckily he was found by a friendly vet and got amputated before huge blood lost. Unfortunately he wasn't able to grow up with his brothers and sisters but we're so blessed to have him in our home.
“If needed, cover the capsule in a bit of a lickable treat like a Churu or even a small amount of butter to help make it more enjoyable for them. When your cat actually needs a pill, you can just play the pill launcher game with them. This process can (and should) be used to help them get used to getting medications from a syringe, too. Instead of a treat, you can use a bit of diluted Churu or tuna juice.” If you want to see more of his work, check out Class Act Cats.

I remember many years ago, I'm not sure I would have adopted one, because I thought black cats weren't as photogenic as other coat colors. I didn't have any of the superstitions regarding black cats, I just didn't like their aesthetic. Then, eight years ago, the Cat Distribution System went to work and a little black stray kitten showed up in the parking lot outside my family's business. She adopted me XD I quickly realized void kitties are gorgeous, are very photogenic, and are amazing little house panthers! I can't believe that I ever disliked how they looked! XD

A Cat Showed Up At My Mom's House And Stuck Around. Since Then, He's Been Groomed And Been To The Vet
About a month ago, my mom started talking about this cat, Scrappy, which is hilarious because he’s the sweetest cat I’ve ever been around. She asked if I could help her bathe him before taking him to the vet when I would be in town for Mother's Day this weekend. She helped with the washing part, but he was patient enough to go through hours of gentle combing and mat cutting. I’ve never seen so much flea dirt in my life. Pulled off countless ticks and burrs.
He went to the vet today, and unfortunately, he is FIV and leukemia-positive. My mom and her fiancé haven’t really wanted pets, but this boy just won them over. He’s now an inside baby.

I Adopted A Ratty Old Lady From Death Row, And Now She's Our Fluffy Princess
I had absolutely zero intention of picking up another cat, but I happened to see her on a random Facebook post sharing animals whose time was up at an overwhelmed local shelter. So despite my best laid plans of no more cats, we called to spring her with 13 or so hours left before she was scheduled to be shuffled off this mortal coil. When we picked her up, she was the sweetest thing. She just purred and made biscuits on her new soft bed in her carrier the entire way home.
She weighs about 8 pounds now, which is about a pound too fluffy. She drools when she's happy, which is always, and she plays like a kitten and has completely unhinged zoomies at the drop of a hat. She trills and chatters with us constantly, screams for food time, tolerates our dogs, is hateful to our other cats, and loves to lay on a mouse or keyboard for attention if you're busy. She's perfection.

Schnurri's Before And After
She came from a farm, and the owners said that she seemed to have lost her mother. She was fed by another cat, but she didn't get much milk because the other kittens were much bigger and stronger. As she got sicker and sicker, we took care of her.

Being Rescued At 2 Months Old And Now (8.5 Months). He Never Lost The Crazy Eyes

Yup, those are some crazy eyes. I normally only see those during zoomies. I think we all should be glad kitty doesn't have opposable thumbs... 😂

He Was Found In The Street By My Brother. Some Old Bastard Swept Him Out Of The House With A Mop, Water, And Soap. Before vs. After Rescue
He couldn't walk at all for about a week but would gradually meow for us when we left. Then he started purring and hissing at our dog when she came close, then started standing and walking. And today he's an energy-rich furry jerk wreaking havoc on our house, and we love him for it.

This Little Man Came From A Storage Warehouse, So I Rescued Him, And He Became My Foster Fail
This poor little street cat was so kind, just looking for help. I started feeding him, and I caught him pretty easily. He was so friendly and happy, not feral. I fostered him until he was fixed, vaccinated, and tested. In the end, we couldn't let him go and had to adopt him. He likes to sleep on anything that is not a cat bed. He is also emotional and sensitive, but very happy in his loving home.

It's Our Rescue Cat's Birthday. Her Name Is Chola. She Is Still A Bit Elusive, Even Though She Has Been At Home For Two Years

You'll see many white cats with one blue eye. Because most of the white cats with 2 blue eyes are deaf.

Of course she's elusive - she's a faerie kitty after all. Just look at those eyes!

My Sweet Smoosh Before vs. After
He was originally picked up by the pound but then brought to the shelter. He was there for about a month or so, and I was surprised no one picked him up! He looked a bit rugged, but I loved him. They assumed he's about 3-4 years old, and he’s the sweetest cat ever.
The shelter shaved off all the tangled fur, but I went and got him completely shaven to just start over. Pictures are from oldest to most recent.

This broke me. I love the afters, but the before photos make me really angry/sad at the world. 😢

I wish I could add mine. My girl had quite a rough start, but is now happy and healthy. Even with only one eye.

Yes Richard. You can tell just from the photos how much these kitties like being clean and cared for.

I miss my black cat Obi wan so much, he left us this December after 15 years, this post is healing my heart a little

Sadly, when I lived out in the country people dumped their animals off all the time and it was fairly common for the cats to be pregnant. At one point we had 26 outdoor cats, which we fed using a deer feeder. We found homes for as many as we could, and did our best to get them basic vet care, we even built a cat house with multiple rooms from floor to ceiling in our garage (which had no door). I have a true hatred of people who abuse animals, and one day I would like to open a huge rescue facility where the animals can live happy, healthy lives - but until I win the big jackpot lotto, I will just have to save who I can one at a time. Love to all you who rescue!

My sincerest wish, sent out into the universe, is that all animals are treated with care and compassion... Added to this is our responsibility to make sure our companion critters are sterilised to prevent unwanted offspring and reduce reproductive organ-related illnesses...
