This feels very good, dear passer-by!

I am sure these were the thoughts of this cat, I met already some time ago in one of my walks. I usually see it and it likes cuddles, so we are both happy - the cat and me too! I don't know her name or age, but just one thing is important: She is very friendly!

I have always had cats, not just one, but mainly several ones at the same time. Black, ginger, black and white combination, grey or calico cats, all were loved and cuddled. I remember many stories and funny situations that happened with them. Maybe my most loved cat, a tri-colour one called Mica, had the most interesting behaviour. Actually, nobody liked her when she arrived at our home, the family said she is not nice and is very wild. Except me. She became my cat, under my protection and what a surprise, later my cat became a loved cat by everyone.

I am sure I already mentioned this specific story, but it was a long time ago. I will never forget the situation when she gained the respect of the whole neighbourhood, beating one dog. Not any dog, but one breed of a fighting dog. She just had her babies and was protecting them when the neighbour dog escaped from its home. It was more than funny to see a cat fighting a dog which is supposed to be a dangerous one. In no time everyone knew the story and Mica became popular :))

We also had a cat that we gave a male name to it. It was a grey one, a very lovely cat that used to observe us while we had dinner. I am wondering why... What is the craziest thing, is that it loved to eat just bread. Nothing that other cats would usually love, but this one especially waited for one or the bites of bread and it was happy. So, that cat with a male name got pregnant and brought home kittens :)) Once again, the whole neighbourhood knew the story and was a source of smiles and laughs.

When I went to study in another city, I missed my cats from home. But in a short time, I started to have one guest cat. I was not sure whose cat it was, but it came from one of the neighbours. I used to give her food and cuddles, and it was there with me when I was alone. You guess, living only with the company of one piano is not that interesting, you need to talk to somebody. Normally it was just me I was talking to, but then my new guest cat became my audience. Maybe some "meow" came back to me as an approval or disagreement about what we are going to eat. Not zucchini again!!! She loved some more delicious bites.

The life of the cats is not always so easy. The cat my parents have got fell and broke his femur when he was a kitten. It took two operations to put the bars in his leg well, and later, one intervention to remove them. To help him survive the trauma, he was pampered and became very spoiled. He is like another child in the family... but I don't remember I was allowed to be that spoiled!!

Now, the reality is that I don't have a cat. My only hope is to meet some on the streets when I am out and cuddle them. It is not always achievable, as some of the cats are more afraid or just don't like attention. There is also a special kind of cat, which ignores everything around it. It ignores even me, the cat tamer. Let me present you the cat from the neighbourhood. It doesn't live in the same building as I do but in the same street. You can see, no cuddles and love can be shared on this occasion! I will have to search better for some cats that are not this presumptuous.

While I am searching for having guest cats from the neighbourhood that like cuddles, maybe you have some stories about your cats to tell us? I know that @ludmila.kyriakou would have one interesting story to share if decides to make a post on the topic! Training the cats is a special category!

awww... I want to give some cuddles, toooo!!!

I once had a cat that ate only thuna and/or oatmeal... wouldn't touch any cat food or meats but loved to eat soggy oatmeal?!? heh!

An nowadays, just like you, I am always looking to befriend and cuddle stranger cats I meet on my walks... can't wait to be in a situation to offer shelter to a feline friend again myself eventually...

!CATtip 10 CAT

Fraenk!!!

I know, you are a cat person too and those street cats and cuddles, I remember them. And the cat that came with you home, to your kitchen 😇 it was a great story!

I once had a cat that ate only thuna and/or oatmeal... wouldn't touch any cat food or meats but loved to eat soggy oatmeal?!? heh!

Wow, that is just incredible and so unique! Oatmeal 😂 well, I like it (the only one in the house that like oatmeal) but really so weird to imagine a cat that loves just that and tuna :D

Thank you for the cat tip 😇

Aww I could not let this wonderful story pass me by since I am a faithful follower of kittens, your story has moved me because now I do not have cats but I have had throughout my childhood and adulthood, there was one that stole my heart and is no longer here, and even now I still remember him and writing this my eyes shine, he was a little wild and not very accepted, he came home and he chose me.

He was a gray cat with thick cheeks and very big, physically he was beautiful and I think he knew it because he was very cocky, in the end he didn't want to be tamed and he would go and come back when I called him, he loved the kitchen window and at lunch time he liked to touch my legs to get a bite. It happens to me now that I can only see cats in the street with the interest of always giving them affection (if they want it, laughs). They seem to me so special and independent, I hope to find like you that special feline again. Hugs my dear. By Dina.

Here is a picture of my beloved and remembered Príncipe🐱👑

Oh, Príncipe was gorgeous 😍

How familiar is what you described, when lunchtime, touching the leg to get something to eat :D And not just when they want some food. The cat of my niece sometimes sleeps inside, when it is cold in winter. So when he wants to go out or is bored already, he touches her face with his paw until she wakes up :)

So you don't have any cats right now... What do you think, is it time for us to get one? 😎
Well, just in dreams, as I would not like to have a cat in an apartment, not because of me not liking them inside, but because of the cat. They need space and go out, discover things, being free. I am not sure if it would be happy or not, so I don't want a cat that is suffering and being kept inside. You can walk with a dog, but really, having a cat on a leash and walking it around on the streets would be a bit weird 😅

So cute… it definitely liked your cuddles. 😊

Thanks for sharing this story with us of your previous cats and cats in the neighbourhoods.
We never had cats but dogs in the past. Now no pets…
Maybe one day 😎

It was a cutie 😇
When I used to walk around more, I was always looking for cats and cuddles. So many times with success :))

The cats from my childhood are in my memory, especially those I shared here.
Cats and dogs can be friends, I didn't say but we always had dogs too while having cats. Especially when they grow up together 😇

That’s nice… you will be out walking more again 😉

That’s nice… memories stay 🥰
Yes, if they grow up together they can be really good friends and play together. It can make for lots of laughter 🤣🤣😄

It can make for lots of laughter

That is true. And sometimes our pets behave like children 😂😂 so funny they are 😆

Hahaha yes… just like children. 😁😁😁

And they are even treated like children in some families hahaha

Yes, it was like that in my household. Spoiled little children hahahaha even talked to as it was a child. 🥰🤗 and lots of cuddlessssssss

meow meow and where is Bella? This cat would not run away from her :))

You perfectly know where always is Bella!

For sure that cat will love Bella!

Yes, I perfectly know she is the faithful companion of our side. 😇

The cat that fought the dog is quite impressive.

A cat eating just bread is a bit odd lol. But cats are quirky like that I suppose.

I love cats as well. I'm definitely a cat person. My cat, Molly, doesn't make it onto the blog often but she has a special place in my heart.

Yes, that cat was special. That situation also showed how brave they can be when the instinct of protection is in power.

Hahaha, the bread eating cat was also sweet and yes, weird with a male name being a female.

Nice, you are a cat person too. I think I remember your cat from just one of your posts. The dog appeared more times in your travel posts :D

Yeah the dog gets more screen time because he travels with us. I don't post about home life very often so the cat doesn't make it to the blog unfortunately

Yes, that is what I have noticed.

I can not imagine taking your cat to the travels 😂

A to je ta priča...🙂
Umiljate okice...😊

Da, tu su spomenute dve price, Milica i Bozo :)
A prva prica je Mica, koja je bila hrabra i strah i trepet za borbenog psa :D

Hahahhaha
Mica lavica.😀

upravo tako 👍

WOW! All well deserved, dear @mipiano! 👌

I hope that it is well deserved :)))

The first cat picture looks like our cat. Cutie! 😻😻😻

Then you have a cute cat then :)

Why don't you want to have a cat anymore?

Well, I have always been scared of cats, there is an African folktale about them so I keep my distance.

The only cat I have really liked was my friend's cat but she is scared of me which is sad.

Been wanting to get a pet but I feel like it might be work on someone like me who likes to just get up and move.

I do like cats and would like to have one or more again, but I am living in an apartment. I believe cats need more space, to be able to go outside whenever they want and explore. I think that it would not be happy kept inside, so that is the reason.

And another reason is that sometimes we go away for some longer time, and who would take care of my cat if we are on a journey?
So I am happy when I see a cat on the street and can cuddle it :)))

Oh, I didn't know that there is an African folktale that made you be scared of them.
They are nice creatures, believe me 😇

Oh yeah, that's a pretty good reason, one reason I haven't gotten any pets as much as I want them.

Maybe I'll give cats a chance, trying to grow out of certain beliefs but it's been a gradual process.

yes, yes, please give a cat a chance 🐈 😇

Hehehe if they don't run away, I will.

🐈 they will not if you treat them well :))

but maybe a period of adaptation will be needed :)

Okay then
Thank you.

I love cats since. i had many cats especially kittens! they are very funny.

i had a cat recently which it's name was Siya, but unfortunately died!!!😔😔😔

I am sorry for your loss, it is hard when we have to say goodbye to our pets we loved 💔😔

The white cat with black and brown hues is such a beauty and she looks so at peace around you.
I am sure those head and body rubs have sent her to heaven and back 😂😂😂

In no time everyone knew the story and Mica became popular :))

In the case of Mica, she is quite the hero. That's really brave of her.
The love of a mother is so pure, real, and second to none 😍😍😍

I admire how you did not reject her when she first came to your home and because you gave her a chance, loved, and protected her, she was able to grow and be able to nurture and protect her young the same way you nurtured her.

You are amazing Gab ♥️♥️♥️

Yes, My Mica cat was very brave in those moments. Her mother instinct made her be a lioness 😇

She was not a beauty as a kitten, she was very thin and those colours nobody liked, but I did :)
Then she used to me and my cuddles, she indeed became a great cat 🐈
