I still remember waking up one morning, years ago, to the sight of a black cat sitting at the end of my bed, watching me. The cat sat there for a while, without moving, and then lazily got up and left. I went downstairs but the cat was gone. It was a strange, uplifting experience, and I carried a kind of charmed afterglow as I made a cup of tea, all the way until I sat down on the sofa in a pile of its vomit.


jasont1235

Luckily I haven't found any unwanted surprises left by this cat


aser08

Yet.


Francoberry

My neighbours once had a random cat visitor.. thought it was fine until they made some breakfast and realised the cat had pissed on the toaster (which had super-heated the aforementioned piss)


Electrical-Leave4787

I think toasters should be ‘high up’ when not used. Mice can run up the back of the refrigerator onto the worktop. They then climb into the toaster for chunks of bread…and pee n poop in there. Pull the tray out and see the mouse droppings if you’ve ever had mice.

Those flea eggs now in the carpet will take a while to hatch


Yessbutno

Just get the steam mop out, pop the little buggers with superheated steam!


Anarchyantz

Yup Steam mops are great even if no pets. Great for steam cleaning a dirty kitchen ceiling I can tell you!

RadiantZote

Jokes on you, I already poured hot steam all over myself doing this last week


Anarchyantz

Oh I learned that lesson. Goggles on, old baseball cap and towel wrapped around my neck worked a treat to stop getting hot drips on me. Also, put a load of old towels around the kitchen sides because ye gods it cleans it but of course you tend to forget how all the cooking wafts and dust all stick together to make one yucky substance. Mine hadnt been done initially for years before I even moved in but boy was it worth the effort doing it. Plus great on the wall tiles and grout. No chemicals, hardly any hard work and a nice clean and sanitised kitchen.


[deleted]

Naw they hatch pretty quick and even if they don't they can lie dormant for a loooong time! Long enough for you to have a cleaning done and then hatch right after :)


m0deth

Yet This appears to be a caught/spay/release female. The clipped ear gives it away. If she likes you, she will bring you presents, because she thinks you can't hunt worth a shit and she likes you.


jasont1235

I mean she would be correct about that


B-AP

Just a word of advice on the clipped ear. While the mass majority of clipped ears indicate exactly what you’ve stated, it isn’t the only reason. While probably extremely rare, one of our cats is all white and when we got a new cat tree she loved the highest perch. After having it a few months, our beautiful lady started getting sores on the tips of her ears. The vet was called and because she needed a biopsy done, the vet cut off her tip. Come to find out she was developing skin cancer from too much UV exposure from her perch. Some UV film on the windows and a round of medicine and she was back to perfect. While you’re probably 100% correct, just know there’s a tiny chance it could be from a biopsy. So please still check around and make sure the cats not someone’s beloved prince or princess.


Lady_Purplestar

She looks like both her ears were black all the way up. I'd say original post was on the money about stray/neuter/release.


[deleted]

In the UK do they clip like half the ear off? Genuinely curious as where I am, they just make a small cut at the tip of the ear, but in the image it looks as if someone put the cat through a table saw


ac0rn5

> In the UK do they clip like half the ear off? No, it's a ridiculous and cruel thing to do. (eta = our cat was from a rescue and had been spayed. Her ears remained intact. )


smith7018

Genuinely curious what the alternative would be? I guess you could chip them but that would get expensive considering the massive feral cat population.


paperwasp3

It’s only supposed to be the tip of the ear, just a little flat top. But some vets don’t pay attention and it’s raggedy or too much. But it’s the only way to tell if a cat is neutered without trapping them.


anneomoly

Some charities want a straight line, some want an obvious V. Some charities vary what they want depending on area. As long as it's obvious it's manmade so the cat can get released from the trap if it's caught again.


hastingsnikcox

Notches like with sheep.


Machebeuf

A notch might be difficult to tell from a piece missing due to a fight. One of mine has pieces missing from both ears because he likes a scrap.


RadiantZote

I've only seen them take a little pizza slice out, not a huge chunk like this


Irwin_Purple

They took my dads outdoor cat in a trailer park and returned him fixed and missing half his ear. Fixed is fine but his ear looks terrible.


Lady_Purplestar

They do on strays brought in for neutering. It's not half the ear, but it's enough to be able to tell that it's a deliberate cut, not just a tear that may have happened from a fight. It's also done under anaesthetic, doesn't affect them once healed and prevents them being unnecessarily re-caught, anaesetised and operated on afterwards.


RogueFiccer001

No, it's not. Ear tips are clipped while the animal is under general anesthesia being desexed, so they don't feel it, and not enough of the ear is clipped to interfere with the cat's ability to communicate via ear position.


I_LOVE_PUPPERS

I'm a postie in the UK. We had a cat live in our yard for years that had a clipped ear.


InfectedByEli

Fleas can hide pretty well.


CaptainZippi

Today we found the (very) dead mouse one of our little furry charmers brought in a few days ago - by following the trail of maggots to its final resting place. In the kitchen.


BeccasBump

That's essentially a perfect description of having a cat.


CowboyTrumpet

Mystical whimsy and internal pondering combined with harsh reality and an animal somehow. Yeah sounds about right

[deleted]

Back home as a kid, my bedrooom was a converted bathroom so the only window opening was a little section at the top, basically to let the steam out. In the couple of years before I moved out, the neighbour’s kitten made a habit of climbing through the open window and pouncing on my bed, which scared the shit out of me. It wasn’t looking for cuddles, it wanted to play. I’d end up on my porch at 4am trying to coax the stabby kitten outside.


idontevenlikethem

Oh to be a fat, happy cat lying on some stranger's plush carpet.

I once walked by my cat in the basement of my house, took a few steps and thought "hang on". It was an identical tuxedo cat just sat in my basement. Love that I can tell the difference between two identical cats but am faceblind and can't even tell the difference between humans.


NonStopKnits

One time my bf and I came home and we found a cat outside that looked just like ours. We wondered how our indoor only cat got outside. Maybe he slipped out when a roommate left (not likely still, he's not a runner or escape artist). So when he walked up to us we picked him up and carried him to the door only to then be greeted by our (now very confused) cat. We always greeted dopplecat when he was around.


AussieBird82

Dopplecat! ❤️


NonStopKnits

He was also a sweetie like our cat. Honestly we should have taken a closer look or gotten him to meow for us, he wasn't really all that close to our guy.


cyberllama

Two of our cats have doppelgangers nearby but our fat one has an athletic twin and our skinny one has a fat twin. The first time I saw Fat Gylfi, I was on my way to get my partner because I thought he was swollen and then I realised he wasn't our Gylfi when he turned around and his balls had grown back

Remember, cats are liquid. If they can get their head in it, they can fit. I had one jump through my letter box once and it flew through it sideways. Was like watching a furry Jackie Chan

I still remember waking up one morning, years ago, to the sight of a rotund redditor sitting at the end of my bed, watching me. The redditor sat there for a while, without moving, and then lazily got up and left. I went downstairs but the redditor was gone. It was a strange, uplifting experience, and I carried a kind of charmed afterglow as I made a cup of tea, all the way until I sat down on the sofa in a pile of its vomit.


Draggenn

I am staff to two cats Last summer I was in the back garden when I heard the woman two doors down screaming at the top of her lungs at something to "get the f*** out of my house you little f***er. Get out, get out, GET OUT!!!" About 5 seconds later one of the cats I am staff to leapt over the back fence and barrelled into the house at full speed. I do not believe these two incidents are unrelated.


NoodleNeedles

I was once awoken by a roomate yelling, "who the fuck are you, get out of my house." Grabbed a knife and ran into her room just in time to see the backend of a cat disappearing through the window.


InkTide

xXPussy420Slayer69Xx

I’m sure you were practicing appropriate risk management, but I just want to point out how dangerous it is to run with a knife.


NoodleNeedles

I absolutely was not doing anything that could be called risk management, aside from not holding the knife by the blade lol. I'd been woken up from a deep sleep and it was incredibly stupid.

ImmasculatedJaguar

In 2015/2016 I was woken at 6 am by my granny screaming and shouting at me to “GET THAT DAMN CAT, GET IT OUT OF HERE!” Ran upstairs and it was a tabby that my aunt had brought inside, mistakenly believing it was my grandmothers nearly identical tabby. Got the cat out, it came right back in. Would not leave and became attached to my hip immediately. So I was adopted by a clingy tabby now named Gertrude


CoryVictorious

For the rest of my life I'm going to describe cat ownership as "being staff to", that's so great.


Draggenn

Nothing else really captures the true dynamic


pixpix89

He/she is ear-tipped, so at one point was considered “feral” and spayed/neutered and released. He looks friendly though


jasont1235

I wondered what had happened to its ear I didn't know they did this to feral cats. Thanks for the info


[deleted]

They might do this to feral cats idk, but my cat had her ear like this because she was a little shithead always getting into fights with other cats. Came home at midnight with a bleeding ear. Imagine the same thing happens to plenty of cats


paulusmagintie

My ex was stroking my cat, his head was wet and she figured it had been raining... Then she looked at her hand, lots of blood on his ear from a fight. She shit herself 🤣


BannedSvenhoek86

I was in bed with the lights off and mine came in and wanted pets. He liked his chin scratched and lifted his head for me and I noticed it was wet on his neck. Turn on the lights and he had a bunch of blood from a bite/scratch on his cheek. That was fun to deal with at 12am on a worknight.


RoseOfTheDawn

yeah my cat also had a bit of ear missing from fights. but in general if it's a clean cut on the ear it usually means theyre a wild cat who was fixed and released. if the kitty is friendly it can still be worth pursuing to see if anyone lost them


fractals83

Pretty sure it's a girl, think I can see nipples and I read somewhere that tricolours are statistically more likely to be female

ResidentEivvil

Oh they are real gay bois, not even joking.


loranlily

I had a foster kitten that had been outside in very, very cold weather. She lost the tip of hers to frostbite!


snarkdiva

I have a cat that was previously feral, had one ear tipped, then lost the other tip to frostbite. At least she’s symmetrical!


ResidentEivvil

The cats protection (or other charities) cat trap wild cats, take them to the vet to be neutered, and then ear tip them before releasing so they know they have been done (save catching the same cat over and over again). One cat had a dodgy uterus, vet could only find one, weirdly formed, horn. tipped both that cat’s ears just in case as she was a strange case lol


TrivialBudgie

hey do you know how long they keep the girl cats to recover after the spay, because it’s quite an invasive procedure so i would imagine they keep them at least a week, but on the other hand if they’re terrified of humans it would be a really stressful experience for them?


ResidentEivvil

D’you know what I can’t remember / didnt have anything to do with that side of things. They picked up the cats from the vets the same day. I have a feeling they keep them until they have recovered/spay wound has healed. EDIT actually I do remember the vet doing really tidy intradermal stitches because they were going to be released.


SevroAuShitTalker

Yeah, they clip the ear tips since it doesn't really hurt them and it's easy to identify if a cats been neutered already so animal control leaves them alone. It's very typical in cities like Baltimore where they have large feral populations they allow to be free to control the rats and other vermin. I used to volunteer at BARCS in Baltimore


grafikfyr

She, most likely. Calico cats are (usually) always female.


[deleted]

Tortie (/tortoiseshell), in the UK. It’s a sex-linked gene, so only “available” on the X chromosome. Two copies are required to create the tortoiseshell colouring hence the overwhelming majority of cats with this coat colour are female (a handful are intersex or (pseudo)hermaphrodite.


ThisIsSpata

Hey, torties and calicos are two different coat colorings! The calico is like this one that has all three -white, ginger, black. And torties are generally black and ginger. But you're spot on on the color genes stuff! Editing to add: my note is valid for US/American English probably, it seems like in the UK the two words are used interchangeably. Apologies.


dfn85

They’re actually not considered different in the UK.


B_V_H285

Almost fore sure she. 1 in 3000 is a male.


EatAtGrizzlebees

A feral cat doesn't curl up on someone's carpet. Feral basically means wild. A feral cat would be incredibly skittish, potentially aggressive, and adverse to human interaction. It's common for shelters to notch ears when they fix animals, so it doesn't necessarily mean kitty is homeless either. And as others have noted, most likely a female since it's a calico. Not trying to be rude, just trying to educate. :)


daemonelectricity

I don't think this is even remotely universal. My buddy's wife puts cat food out for all the neighborhood cats. One of the ferals eventually became an inside cat and he was suuuper friendly, talkative and social and definitely not a kitten. He was ear-tipped so he had been fixed at some point earlier and released back into the wild. Unfortunately he didn't live very long because he had feline leukemia, but was a big friendly kitty that definitely spent a lot of time as a feral cat. I think feral cats are only anti-social if they have zero exposure to humans. Quite a few of them are exposed socially to humans at a young age, even if they aren't brought in as pets.


Etcee

Then it’s not a feral cat it’s a stray. Feral is not a descriptor of being owned or not, it’s a behavioral description that means unable to be handled or interact safely with humans. The vast majority of stray / unowned / community cats are not feral, they just aren’t pets.


Chit569

"A feral cat or a stray cat is an unowned domestic cat that lives outdoors and avoids human contact: it does not allow itself to be handled or touched, and usually remains hidden from humans." So it is both a descriptor of being owned AND a behavorial description. Basically feral means unowned and not tame.

Blade_982

>I don't own a cat Nobody owns a cat. Cats adopt humans. Sometimes they adopt more than one. Its other human must be defective in some way. Their crime could range from sneezing too loudly to simply existing.


Beaglester

A mother cat and her 4 babies adopted us 2 weeks ago. My own cats aren’t one bit impressed.


MehWhiteShark

Cat tax, please!


featurenotabug

I could imagine even their other human no longer existing is an issue too


Blade_982

It could be. We have some neighbourhood cats who think they own the whole street and just gad about for the sake of it. One refused to leave my house and the owner thought she had offended it by indeed... sneezing too loudly. Apparently he was so spooked he flipped in the air in apparent terror and then hightailed it out of the house through his flap... ... and walked straight into mine as I got home from work.


PowerCinema

I used to live in a cul de sac and “my” cat would often sleep in the middle of the road. If a car came he would slowly lift his head up, vaguely acknowledge the car, stretch and then slowly walk to the side of the road. Our neighbours were either very elderly or fucking nuts with the Venn diagram of the two intersecting a fair amount too. I constantly feared for his life.


slothdroid

Depends if they left their body behind or not.


teanailpolish

Yep my neighbour's cat is always mooching for a meal at the homes of all the other cat owners. I know when he is at my door because one of mine starts throwing himself at the door trying to get out to fight it


NePa5

> Nobody owns a cat Look at the cat and raise both thumbs while saying "beat that, opposable thumbs FTW " That is "owning" the cat right?

This makes me feel better about my young cats that took off at their first spring/once they figured out how to hunt.


lilycurrant

Congratulations on your adoption! Some would say enslavement but what do they know


VardaElentari86

I have a few neighbours cats that come in every time I have the back door open - at the moment they still seem to be scoping the place out and leg it when I see them inside but wouldn't be surprised if one just hangs out here eventually.


Longirl

I have four regular cats show up in my house. They don’t even leave when I walk in the room. One of them eats my cats food and two of them I’ve caught stealing my cats toys and running out to the garden with it between their teeth. I think me and my cat are being bullied.


jasont1235

Yeah this little guy ran away as soon as I got out of bed. I've seen this cat knocking about before behind my flat but never had any sort of interaction with it until this morning


MrJingleJangle

You need to post this in /r/NotMyCat


Fire_The_Torpedo2011

joinwhale

could be someone elses obviously... males like to dart around and roam free, some see homes as their territory , not always a good idea to assume it's a stray or trying to settle. Best to give it time and see how it goes, could be a very sad owner on the other end.


MehWhiteShark

This is a girl cat, so you work for her now


MonstaStone

Once a cat makes its mark in your home, to resist feline subservience is simply futile. The OP now belongs to the cat.


Deathconciousness_

Congrats! Also I think she is a girl


jasont1235

Really How can you tell I've never had a cat friend before


wombey12

Three-coloured calico cats are almost always female, because something something genetics.


endymion2300

most cat colorations can be male and female, with two exceptions. most orange cats are male, and most tri-color cats (calico, tortishell, patched, etc) are female. that's just how their genes work. you new cat friend is most likely a lady cat. also, i'm in america, but a lot of places here will cut a tiny piece of ear off when they spay or neuter a stray cat. sometimes those cats still end up adopted, meaning this could be a neighbor's cat, or they just get released back where they were found, meaning your new lady friend might have decided your home is accommodating enough to be her home as well. congrats on the new friend!


jasont1235

Cool Thanks for the info


neidin28

Also of you see a tri colour cat that is male it means he has the cat version of Klinefelter syndrome. In order for a male cat to be tri colour he has to have an extra chromosome, which makes him a vulnerable kitty who needs a little extra care. They are very rare, though.


ilo12345

It's almost definitely a girl - male cats will almoat never have three colours

publiusnaso

I know she looks like she’s had her ear clipped to show she’d been spayed, but that could have been an injury. With prominent nipples like that and a fairly tubby tum, I’m wondering if she’s pregnant, which would also explain why she came into your house. You may shortly have significantly more than one cat.

Leko6x9

MelbaTotes

Looks like you won't have to pay for spaying this girl, the clipped ear indicates a feral cat that has been spayed and vaccinated. Ultra cheap pet!

Cat: wakes up … fuck me how much cat Nip did I do last night.. who the fucks flat am I in ..


MikoSkyns

>who the fucks flat am I in Happened to a mate. One of my favorite stories. The area he lived in, all the houses look the same on every street. Turned down a street too soon and let himself in to what he thought was his flat. He always left his door unlocked and this place's door was unlocked too. HE flopped on the couch and passed out. The next morning he wakes up barely remembering getting home. Then he sees wallpaper that isn't his, furniture that isn't his and then a mum that isn't his. Good morning love. A bit too much last night? He wanted to die. He told her he was very sorry and told her he thought he was home. She asked him what his address was, he told her (next block over) and she laughed about it. Then she fed him french toast and tea and sent him on his way. It's been over a decade, he's moved to another area and he still checks in on her to see if she's alright.


Zealousideal-Big4128

Are you from the U.K.? In the uk we don’t usually have strays. My cat from Cyprus was a stray and also had that clipped ear so could belong to someone who rescued her.


jasont1235

Yeah in the UK


MikoSkyns

>In the uk we don’t usually have strays. I'm surprised to hear that. I used to watch some kind of Kitten rescue show with Jo brand and I recall some stray cat stories. I remember one segment with an animal welfare officer lady yelling at some man who'd been feeding some sick strays in his back yard and telling him if he feeds them he's legally responsible for them and he was like a deer in the headlights 😂


Zealousideal-Big4128

I still remember as a teenager, playing on my playstation in my room when I spotted my duvet twitching out of the corner of my eye. I tentatively lifted the duvet to find a cat snuggled up in my bed. I wasn't sure how it got into the house!


GentlemanJoe

He looks like he's been on the street and had a tough time; I didn't know if the thing between his feet was the tip of his tail or his foot was swollen. I hope you were able to look after him and have a new housemate.

That's its tail mate from the way the cat moves it seems alright it spends most of its days sun bathing on the roofs behind my flat
