Ah welcome to 7cups! I hope you're finding your way around ok, we're glad to have you here 😸
And I love any and all cat post, so it was very very appreciated by me, made me smile so thank you ❤️
@SleepyShyCat
I love cats too. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get one. My daughter is a dog person and my husband doesn't like pets. But I'm determined to get some sort of pet once we get our house. My husband is from Africa and he jokes about wanting to have a full grown lion as a pet; which is a cat, but I don't think so. I told him we can get a baby lion or elephant but we would have to give them to a zoo or reserve once it starts getting too big. I'm actually watching a movie about lions now; unfortunately its a scary movie. You will see my name when I post. I'll try to find something cute with cats. I'll post it in another thread.
@affectionateCat9553
Well if you want a cat, and your husband wants a lion, I immediately thought of a ginger maine coon - they're one of the largest domestic cat breeds you can get, are extremely fluffy and have a big 'mane' and you can get ginger ones. They're also probably the most intelligent domestic cat, and they're almost like a dog, so your daughter may enjoy that too. They're known for playing fetch and being able to teach them tricks, and they also one of the cat breeds which enjoy water and swimming! Here are some photos I found online...to me they almost look like baby lions 🦁🐈
So cute!!! I would trust this cat with my life hehe
I have 5 cats. They are mu little furry devil's. Still over em tho.
Xoxo
@durianfreak
Ha, they certainly can be tiny furry devil's when they want to be lol, especially at 3am 🥴
@RaccoonGang
Aw, I love tabby and white cats! I used to have one called Charlie, he had a brown/black/pink nose and I loved it. Thanks for sharing 😸🍪
@mytwistedsoul
🍪*insert cookie gif cups won't let me find*🍪
OMG, is that a toyger??? I'm fairly certain it is, they're an incredibly beautiful breed, they're a cross between a regular domestic shorthair (striped tabby) and a bengal which gives the gorgeous markings toygers have
@SleepyShyCat It is! I had never heard of them before but they are absolutely beautiful cats :)
@mytwistedsoul
I agree, they're gorgeous
Hey! My mom recently shaved my cat and now he looks like a rat 😭. Hope your cats are doing well though :). A cat fact is that cats love milk but their body doesn’t react well to it.
@Katsuddon
Cats should not need to be shaved, there are very few reasons to actually do so, and it can cause significant stress to the cat sometimes too. On almost all occasions it is best not to.
And yes, interesting fact! Cats are actually lactose intolerant, and milk causes them digestive issues. It also has no nutritional value to them so there's no need for it at all. Also, cats have about 470 taste buds but cannot taste anything sweet (humans have around 9000 taste buds) 😮
Thank for sharing, here's a cookie 🍪
@PureMuffin
Aw so cute!! I love the white feet 😸 and cats sure do love sitting in bags and boxes lol 📦🐈
Thanks for sharing! your cats are adorable!! 🍪
@SleepyShyCat You're welcome and thank you! :)
@ashtonswink47
Oh my goodness!! Such tiny cuteness!! Awwww 🥺🥺
Have a cookie 🍪
@SleepyShyCat hi I also love cats and would love to be friends if you want! I do not have a cat but i had one she was a hairless cat so I'm going to post a random cat pic :) i hope you have a nice day and if you need anything don't be afraid to dm me :)
@Kenkenuwu
Thanks for the lovely message! It's always good to meed more cat lovers 😸
Hairless cats intrigue me but I'm never sure how I'd feel about them, I'm sure I'd love them if I met one though. Do you know what type you had? You can get some hairless breeds that still have some fur, so sometimes they look like they're wearing fur trousers, but then a hairless body/head lol
@SleepyShyCat yeah she was a hairless Sphynx and her name was Pippi :)
@bestLand9099
A baby!! 🥺 And such beautiful colouring, and the fuzzy fluffy paws!! They're adorable 😸🍪
@mytwistedsoul
This is my safe space, feel welcome to hang out here as much as you need, I have blankets and cookies and allllll the fluffy cats 😸🍪
(given all the recent unwelcome posts I need this even more)
@SleepyShyCat *hugs* Thank you ❤️
Thank you for your help today too ❤️
@mytwistedsoul
My heart 🥺🥺
Cute cat photos are always the best way to start the day, thank you for this one 💖🍪
Another person with my special interest! Have you seen the netflix documentary "Inside the Mind of a Cat"? It was very entertaining and gave evidence for what I already knew as a lifelong cat owner which made it even better to watch in my opinion, learning things have statistical proof.
Anyway, here's my cats! (I hope this sends right)
@kittydragon771
It's the best special interest to have I think... Definitely not biased lol 😸
And I haven't seen it as I don't have Netflix, but I've seen a lot of other cat documentaries which cover the same topics and they're very fun to watch! I love learning about cats 🐈
Guess what.. Today is national black cat day! (October 27th) And I have some cute photos for us to appreciate 😸
And here's some fun facts too! 🐈⬛
Black is the most common feline coat colour - there are as many as 22 recognised domestic breeds which can have solid black colouring. Most black cats have golden eyes due to their high melanin pigment content.
Solid-colored cats, such as entirely black cats, result from a recessive gene that suppresses the tabby pattern. However, when the tabby pattern is not completely suppressed, faint markings may appear in certain lights, even on a solid black cat! Leaving some black cats with a secret tabby coat 😮🐈⬛
Now here's a fun fact - black cats can "rust" in sunlight! Their coat can turn a lighter brownish-red shade due to the fragile nature of Eumelanin, the pigment that is required to produce the black fur. The rusting effect can be even more pronounced in cats that frequently spend time lounging in the sun ☀
And some Halloween themed black cats:
