Hello! Welcome to the best place on 7cups...Cat Corner! (lol, I'm biased here, and everywhere here is great it's no competition)
Aw, I'm so glad you like it! This is why I made the post, for other cat lovers like me! ๐ I love cats, they're so adorable and there are many times I squeal about them too ๐ฎ
Owning any pet can be overwhelming and have its challenges, they're a big responsibility - but it is definitely possible to manage! It's good that you're aware of your own abilities, having a pet should be at a time which you feel capable to manage their needs, otherwise it could become stressful for you. I hope one day you feel able to ๐โโฌ
Maybe you could visit a rescue center for cats and volunteer there, there's lots of opportunities like that, where you can engage with cats and cuddle them without having the responsibility of owning them. Cat centers near me ask for volunteers to socialise their kittens they get in, and give affection to their older cats. Or there's cat cafes, or a friend who might own a cat! Plenty of ways to still find the cuteness, and a way to judge if you might be able yourself to have a cat ๐บ
I have one cat at the moment, he's 2 and adorable, very playful, very mischievous, very talkative and very affectionate. He's black and white. Before him I had a tabby cat. ๐
@SleepyShyCat i love your idea! im not aware if there's a cat centre or cafes near where i am but i'll look into it. and i do know a friend who has cats, im shy though thinking about visiting her only for cats hahaha, but it cant hurt to try. she offered me a young cat.. im close to accepting but i know im not ready yet. and thanks for the encouragement SleepShyCat. also, props to you everything here is sooo adorbs!! >.<
@Juney23
I'm glad you like the idea ๐ธ
Definitely check out what cat related stuff you have going on locally - there is usually always something, and rescue centers are always on the look out for some extra hands ๐
A catch up with that friend would likely be a very nice time just to see her... But also extra nice because of her cats ๐ I often visit my friends to see them and their cats - I like them both equally but the cats are always a bonus to have around!
And thank you! It makes me happy to hear that - my main goal here is to spread some cuteness across the site ๐ธ๐ธ

Time for some cat facts! Today is all about the Fishing cat! ๐๐บ
Fishing cats are native to southern and south-eastern Asia, and are generally found in wetland areas like marshes, swamps and mangrove forests ๐ฟ๐
Due to their elusive nature, little is currently known about the behaviour, population and habitat of these nocturnal, semi-aquatic cats ๐พ
The fishing cat is one of the largest of the 28 species of small cats! They have a length of around 85-115cm, and they stand over 40cm at shoulder height ๐ฎ Male's can be significantly larger than female fishing cats, weighing between 8-14 kilograms, where as female's are between 5-9 kilograms ๐โโฌ
Unlike many cat species, fishing cats readily swim! Their paws are partially webbed, and their claws protrude slightly even when retracted - an adaptation for capturing prey in the water ๐ฃ
They have a compact, dense layer of fur which prevents water from reaching the catโs skin, keeping them warm in cold waters. ๐
Fishing cats can swim long distances and dive underwater to catch prey, although they tend to be generalists, opportunistically feeding on what is available at the time. They primarily eat small mammals and fish๐
Some domestic cats also enjoy the water! Such as the Maine coon, Bengal, Abyssinian and Turkish Van to name a few ๐
Here's some more cute photos of the Fishing cat!

one of my kitties <3
@MyCatOwnsMyHeart So fluffy! ๐ looks so peaceful amd cuddly. I bet she/he is very soft
@mytwistedsoul
He is! He likes to be hugged too, so he's great for cuddling ๐ And he's very sweet; he always seems to know when I am sick or feeling down and will come lie down with me.
@MyCatOwnsMyHeart Aww he sounds awesome โค๏ธ Is he laying with a giraffe? ๐
@mytwistedsoul
hahaha, yes, that's a giraffe! I think he likes the company, when I'm not in bed I always find him sleeping among my teddy bears ๐
