Look at my new angle!

A few days ago, I got my first cat in my life, and my heart has been full ever since. His name is Candy.

I can't quite describe the pure happiness of just having him here. Hearing him purr for the first time was the most incredible sound, and seeing his tiny face when I wake up just makes my whole day. It's a quiet, wonderful kind of joy. I finally have a cat, and I've never been happier.

You know what they meant, don't be obtuse about it.

Super acute.

If you don't already know, watch for signs of deafness. No source, but blue eyes and mostly white fur have a high rate of deafness.

Not a huge deal as all cats should be kept inside to prevent wildlife destruction. However, it will affect how you call them and play with them.

Childhood friend had a deaf white/blue eye cat, would tap on the floor or knock on furniture to call the cat. Figured the cat thought its name was tap-tap-tap.

Now that youโ€™ve got the head, does the rest arrive later in the mail?

vauceixzet@lemmy.wtf · 7 pts · 1y

thats actually how they grow. Starting with a head, then a little tail pops up in the back. Then they get front paws. Maybe a month later back paws, etc.

Looks tiny. Maybe 6 weeks? Younger? He might still be young enough to enjoy sitting on your chest and feeling your heartbeat like a baby kitten.

I think he should be called Marshmallow because he looks so sweet. But that's just my opinion.

MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I think he should be called Revenant but I like my cats named silly things. One of mine was Bastet, then Bast, then BB, then Lil B and then I realized I just need to call him the based god.

May the scratches come in batches and the treats pile up to the knees!

I'm so happy for you. Sometimes white cats are deaf, so please keep that in mind if you experience strange behavior, it's not his fault!
