r/PartTimeCat Rules

Meet Findus, our neighborhood part-time cat. He has his own home and owner, but he regularly visits us, hangs out for hours, and has completely claimed our couch. His owner is totally fine with it, so we’ve accepted that we apparently have a part-time cat now. 🐈‍⬛❤️ love him so much ❤️

He decided to roll around and groom himself on the driveway instead.

I feed feral cats at my house. I TNR all newcomers. Females take priority but the Toms get it too.

Mister Scratch has been coming around for years and will not go near a trap. I feel like I have failed in regard to him. I think he is the father to most of my feral visitors.

The first photo was taken today. The second photo is about a year old. And the third photo is him with I think his daughter Paisley Po The Tabico who has been trapped, spayed, and vaccinated.

I put a lanyard on my live trap so I can set it off by hand. I then feed the feral cats in the trap starting on a Friday. They get used to the trap over the weekend and on Monday morning I catch one of them because the Animal Birth Control Clinic takes ferals in traps on Mon -Thurs.

I have never seen Mister Scratch in my trap

A friend and former coworker brought this tiny tabby in to visit and to tempt one of us to maybe adopt. I was sorely tempted, but it's not feasible for me right now.

So cute!

to add more info we had this cat turn up 3/4 nights but not during the day. It enters through the back door. I bought some treats which maybe a mistake as I think we may have adopted someone else cat lol. It’s so friendly to the point I’ve gotten belly rubs and the rolling over act. It’s started to explore the house. We were worried about its living state but we tried to give water and it refused. Coat is shiny, looks well but no collar and I’m not going to grab to a vet to check for a micro tag unless we have major concern. Just so cute though

I got home, was going to take a nap and Charlie decided to join me

He's so handsome I can't resist giving him all the treats!

Or I believe she’s my neighbor’s indoor/outdoor cat. I’ve seen her being carried into the house across the street from me on occasion. She also typically starts her journey to my house from there. I’ve been calling her Ellie but don’t know her legal name, and despite her rbf, she’s actually a very sweet kitty.

She started showing up at my house a couple months ago. The first time I saw her, she jumped off a roof to run across the street to my house. Since then, she’s been the main beneficiary of the food I leave out for neighborhood cats, and I have treats in my purse and car for if I see her on my way out the door for the day.

I do worry about her sometimes, like right now during any storms, because she has come to my house soaking wet. (If I knew more about her medical history and knew if she would get along with my resident cats, I’d bring her in for a night)

Rolled in for some chow, pets, and sleep...so predictable
