I Love Orange and White Cats

@whitewolfgirl77, he's an American shorthair. He came to me as an adult. He is always by my side. Truly unique and so affectionate.

@Peapod He looks like such a sweetheart ! 😻

@bijouxbroussard , he really is. He is my shadow. If he isn’t with me, he’s with my husband. He’s so quiet and will just sit close, loving the occasion scratch on his head or neck. I love him beyond words. He’s truly one of a kind.

@Rutterman He came to her late in life. Was skin and bones when his old owner dropped him and his companion, Damian, off at her house. Hadn’t been to the vet in over ten years. It was infuriating to say the least. What made me even madder was that they declawed Dante!

Damian was put down a few months after my Oma got him because of cancer. Dante lived close to seven years with her though.

@whitewolfgirl77 That is a sad story. I'm glad that Dante at least had nearly seven years with someone who cared for him properly.

Cats should never be declawed. It's outlawed in the UK. Not so in my country (USA), but there are many American vets who refuse to do it.

@Rutterman It can cause the animal serious harm later in life. Bone has been known to grow into the pad of a declawed cat, causing serious pain. Just glad Dante never suffered from it.

@DiegoWolfe I had another orange and white cat some years ago and I used to call him a “creamsicle”!

@Peapod she’s a pain in the butt. That was one of the mornings she woke me up at 3:30am. I took her in for a mug shot.

She’s doing better it’s around 6am now.

@SW-User I confess that Paddington has his moments in the morning too.

@SW-User Beautiful.
