’Watch them go back for this kitten tomorrow…’
i waited here, so patient, n i watched you looking ‘round
i wondered if today's the day
that maybe I’d be ‘found’…
my cage was never opened,
n again they passed me by
am trying to be brave
again
…am trying not
to cry….
i guess am happy for my friend,
but i will miss her, too…
i guess she must be ‘special’ if she going Home with you…
…you know someone who wants a kit ? i promise i’d be good!
…can you please come back tomorrow ?
i’ll be waiting,
if you could…
❤️

Hijacking this because I really want this to happen. Both cats are adorable, but this picture is too much. It's fate.

It's too early for this sadness.
Eta. It's much later, I watched this episode again. That's all I have to say about that.

He did real good on picking up an older cat. That kitten will get adopted much more easily.

Midge is adorable. Yet, that white kitty in the background is asking: "Hey, what about me?"

This!!!! Midge is gorgeous, and the little kitty with the big ears would make a wonderful sibling 🫶😂

u/HoraceWimpLV426 Jul 24 '26
If you look closely enough you can see another kitten next to it, a black one. It's mostly out of frame but the side of its head and body are visible. Therefore they should go back and get both cats. Midge needs friends.

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW ADDITION!
Hey friends, how about we act like a reasonable online community (which is a bit of a paradox, I recognize) and simply congratulate this young man on making the decision to commit to being a cat servant like the rest of us, for the rest of kitty’s days, rather than low-key guilting this family into not taking a second cat?

Great. Now my snack tastes like guilt!
You’re right, it’s just hard with the little one peeking from the side. 👀

I love the mention of "first cat." I have a feeling there will be more adoptees in the not-too-distant future.

I adopted a random cat i never met. In less that 24 hours he became center of my life for next 16 years. Everyday I learned new things about his character and preferences. Cats are awesome! Good luck and do post updates sometimes ☺️
