Cat Art Do you want your cat painted? I need practise
I'm a professional artist and I'm out of cat reference that I haven't drawn ten times over, or cat pictures that I find inspiring.

We have a zero tolerance policy for this, if anyone is requesting payments for their drawings, please report it to us (with linked proof) so we can handle it accordingly.
This is not a subreddit for artists to monetize their work, there are plenty of those available already.

It's a trilogy now! We're averaging a new episode every 4 months or so (see you next time when we make this a saga...there will probably be a next time)
Here's part 2 if you missed it for one reason or another: https://www.reddit.com/r/cats/s/nZOnSekuRz
Everything in the previous posts stands:
Mourning posts are allowed
Posts containing images of deceased animals (cats, things cats caught, etc) will still result in a removal and permanent ban from the subreddit
Please remember to use the appropriate flair when making a mourning/loss post
We've decided that photos of taxidermied pets are allowed, this is something that came up in a post not too long ago. While this technically does contradict with "no photos of deceased animals" we have come to the conclusion that this is a way that people mourn their pets in their own right.
If you wish to post a photo of your taxidermied animal, please ensure the following:
Flair these posts as NSFW
Please PLEASE PLEASE ensure that your pet was professionally taxidermied, we will not allow posts done by people we can't verify are "professional". We ask that you include the name of the person who did the taxidermy and any social media/website they may have. If you have any questions regarding this please send us a modmail. Your post will be removed without this attached information
Hopefully the formatting is done better this time, I won't know until I select that magic "post" button.
Comments will remain open (closed now) so long as you can remain respectful to one another, part 2 had an...incident.

Just wanted to share some pics I thought y’all would enjoy of my family’s new cat Luna. We bought and had a house built on some property for the past year, and finally moved into last Summer. One day we found this cutie behind our workshop. She was very skittish at first and still is a bit, but she’s grown to like us now. She’s an outdoor cat, as my mom is allergic to cats, and we’ve tried to let her in before but she just runs out. We’ve been to the vet, so she won’t get pregnant. She is also the most gluttonous soul I’ve ever seen. Since she was a wild cat before, she knows how to hunt. So she’ll go hunting for food, come back, and start whining for catfood as if she didn’t just eat an entire rat 5 minutes before. So yeah, just thought y’all might like this. She’s a very sweet kitty.

my cat, milo, isn't even a year old yet but sudden thoughts about losing him someday make me so sad. maybe it's because i've been seeing posts about losing their cats lately. i'm so scared to lose my baby. he is my first cat and adopting him was truly the best decision i've made in my 20s. please tell me, cats can live for 30 years, right? why can't cats just live forever?

Our family has been scattered all over the world for the past six years. On the morning of 16th January my father, who has been taking care of Misha alone for the past year, texted us about his passing on the group chat. There's an emptiness, a silent void, that I felt the whole day after reading the message I received at 10am.
It was difficult to even mention to my girlfriend - I just wrote "Misha died" in my notes app and showed it to her. She has been such a wonderful support even though I haven't said much about how I feel, just showed her the messages in the group chat.
This grumpy, loud, but affectionate cat has been a constant in our family's life for two decades. He would sometimes get annoyed at us and purposefully pee in the closet, on our shoes, or on the bed - but that was our little dude, Misha. The loud screams when he felt ignored or left alone too long, but then would ignore us if we wanted to play with him or called his name. A huge personality, a diva - always something to say to us, but not anymore.
My dad told us "Yesterday at night when I was placing his on the mat he recognised me and cried four times. That was his last cry. No illness. Died due to old age."
I hope he told us all he wanted to say. Our beautiful boy, Misha.
I hope - or rather, I wish to believe - what my mother said is right: "I think he lived a good cat's life."
Thank you for the 21 years, Misha. We all miss you very much.

Attention rare orange ladies 🧡🐾 Post a pic so we can assemble the sisterhood. Fun fact: Only about 20% of orange cats are female, making them relatively uncommon
His name is Vern and he’s a huge Mama’s boy. <3

sorry for the photo dump, I can't wrap my head around it. she was fine this afternoon, and I know cats are good at hiding their ailments, but she woke me up for work and ate her breakfast like normal, then when I got home from work at 11:30 pm, my world was shattered.. she was in an unnatural position in he closet and she was stiff. looking like her body just gave up suddenly. we took her to the emergency vet to see if they can tell what happened, but they dont offer those services. the only other place would be almost 2 hours away and I can't make that drive so I opted to go straight to cremation.
she was my world. she tolerated my current fiance lol
I found her over 9 years ago with her umbilical cord attached. woke up every 2 hours to bottle feed her and stimulate her. freaked out when she became constipated and cheered when she pooped. shes been with me through a break up, a couple moves, the death of my grandmother and past fiancé, and even when she started having uti issues and grumpy days she still snuggled and loved. I dont know what to do now. when we got home I almost went into the bedroom to pet her. I dont know what im gonna do in the morning. its 3:30am rn and im afraid to go to sleep knowing she won't hear my alarm to wake me up. she was the light in my darkest times and I won't forget her. Rest in peace my little Lucky Clover 🍀 😢
(sorry for the ramble and format. im exhausted, and just.. broken)

Zorro are you doing ok? Did you make it over to cat heaven safely? Do you have nice healthy cat food pate there? I hope you get the duck pate I had ordered for you just before you passed. I thought you were getting sick of the chicken pate but I didn't know it was worse than that. I'm sorry baby. Are you watching over me as a ghost? I hope so. I hope you never leave my side because I always think about you being there with me through all my best and worst times. You always knew how to make things right when you crawled on my lap and rested your chin on my arm
I miss you waking me up with your wet nose wettys smudging my glasses that I always fall asleep with on my face in front of the tv every night. I miss you pushing your face in mine to wake me to feed you, this was always the highlight of my day even when I didn't want to wake up. I even miss when you would annoy me by slapping and scratching at my blurays on the shelf to wake me up. I would scold you and get annoyed but now I miss that more than ever turning over to see you look up at me as you are standing against the shelf being a cute little troublemaker
I miss walking to the fridge to get your canned pate and seeing you trotting fast over to me excited for your meal. I miss you standing by me looking up at me in anticipation as I shifted through your food for those little bone pieces that you spit out. I never want you to get your mouth hurt by them. I miss you whining at me if I took too long to do that and whine when I looked over at you but stop when I looked back at your food. I miss watching you scarf down your meal and even spend minutes cleaning off your bowl when all of it was gone. I even miss cleaning up your foodie mat with the little splats of pate you left after every meal. I miss washing my hands in the bathroom and coming out to see you still licking the sauceys. I miss cleaning off your cute mouth snout with the food dribbles still on it around your chin or nose with the cat face wipes to clean your soft fur and whiskers on your face. I miss you looking like you were feeling nicey closing your eyes and calm squinting when I wiped around your mouth and chin and neck and then I would always kiss you on the head, I miss that so much
I miss when I used to cook chicken for you to mix with your pate and you would get super cat crazed wanting to bite at it while it was raw. I miss draining the hot water from the boiled chicken and you jumping on the counter to fight me for it before I could cut off a piece for you. I miss dropping your B12 chewy cat vitamin next to your bowl while you ate and waiting for you to notice it and then eat it and go back to eating your food. That was always satisfying. I even miss giving you your medicine every two days even though it was a bit of a struggle. I miss preparing your pills in the chewy pill pockets and then getting on my knees after I scoop you up and kissing your head saying I was sorry you have to get your medicine because you always would struggle with me putting the pills in your mouth and biting my fingers but afterwards you were fine and I tell you it wasn't so bad. I miss giving you your eye drop medicine these last months and wiping your eye boogies and making your face cleany. I really miss those rituals we had
I miss going to the bathroom sitting on the toilet to poop or standing to pee and I would see you walk by me and do the exact same thing of either one, it was so funny. I miss you walking into the bathroom when I was in the shower and I would open the shower door to talk to you while you went to do your business and look up at me dismissively and then leave. I miss brushing my teeth or washing my face and you would sit by me waiting just outside the bathroom door frame. I miss seeing your little black furry head and ears from the corner of my eye as I was brushing. And afterwards when I walked to the bedroom our homebase, you would follow me to sit on my lap while I watched tv
I miss preparing and cooking meals and you would come over to hangout with me and watch me cut veggies and meat and play our game when I would look over at and you would meow and then I'd look back to what I was doing and you would stop, but when I looked back you would meow again or when you would slow blink at me to tell me you love me when I was cooking and I'd slow blink at you back. I would always remember your mother telling me why you did that every time. I miss when I have my meal finished and plated, I would bring it to the bedroom to watch in front of the tv and I would call you to go with me and you would walk over with me to jump on the bed and wait til I sat down to crawl into my lap and watch tv with me while I ate
I miss you always crawling under me whenever I would do pushups while working out, how you wanted to help support me by kneeling under my neck and chest or right under my face you always made me laugh when you did that. I miss you always trying to sit on me when I did situps, you would sit on my stomach or lap and seesaw as I sat up you were so silly
I miss coming home from work or getting groceries and you would always be waiting for me by the door or would come out from the bedroom where you slept to greet me and tell me you were hungry. I miss setting up your timer lock box for your kibble before I left the apartment and finding that you had finished both servings when I got back but sometimes you didn't but I still miss that. Even though it always worried me and got to be a hassle when it was happening a lot, I miss having to clean up your pukies off the floor or even off the bed sheets. I would wash them and then when I threw the fresh warm clean sheets on the bed, I miss you jumping underneath the sheet to roll around and play slap at it. I miss you always standing and jumping up at me as I got up from the bed for me to pick you up and carry you. I miss that so much
I miss you sleeping in your little soft cat house that I parked on the corner of the bed next to me while I watched tv the through the night. I miss how the past year you almost always were sleeping on my lap instead of your house bed while I slept in front of the tv. I miss petting your soft fur, the softest and nicest fur in the universe, gently combing petting your head, ears and back as you rested closing your eyes on my lap while I was watching tv and falling asleep. That was our little safe warmy cozy space that always will be in my heart forever when I think of you. I miss the moment I met you long ago in 2009 when you were a young little guy in a apartment of a woman that brought magic to my life in that moment of time and many years to come. She shared you with me and I miss all the special moments you and her spent with me back then. I wish she could have been with you while you were at your last hours. I know you never forgot her and I know you still loved her after all these years without her. Don't forget us Zoki. We'll always hold you deeply in our hearts and always think of you, our little baby boy. You'll always will be my best friend. I love you forever and miss you so much Zorro
