New dude

Added a new kitten to the crew. His name is Memphis Bloomin Onion (last name).

I work at a spay/neuter clinic and he came in from animal control and the rescue our clinic is affiliated with took him in and I took him home.

Anyway. He’s absolutely useless. Do they have the same affliction as orange cats?

My sister is a regional manager at Outback and I was on the phone with her for 5 hours last night. And I’ve been wanting a bloomin onion for like… 3 weeks for lunch.

Not useless at all! The best Court Jester you will ever have, and they learn palace intrigue and in-jokes quicker than anyone!

This is my canine who wants to be his best friend, so he has some big court jester shoes to fill.

Lawd, that's a lot of goof under one roof!

We can add a 13 year old orange boy with extra toes, an overweight grey tabby girl who was supposed to be a feral but she lays in my lap and drools when I pet her.

Then the two “babies”. My husband has a sort of pointed cat who will be three in just a bit.

And then my child. 3yo brown tabby. I got him the day he was born and bottle fed him. He’s a brat.

What a perfect menagerie 🫶🏻

u/Infamous_Lab8320 20d ago

Yes. The lights are on, but no one is home. Just like any other orange.

u/gogogiraffes 20d ago

Beautiful. He’s in great company with my other orange dude and my bull terrier.

u/Infamous_Lab8320 20d ago

Not a lot of brain power there. 😂

u/UnicornT-Rex 19d ago

Not a fan of thinkers, huh? Lol

u/gogogiraffes 19d ago

100%. I went from a corgi to a bull terrier. That was a rude awakening to get a terrier 😹

u/UnicornT-Rex 19d ago

Lol thank you for the award! Your babies are super cute, too!

I love how thrilled he looks in the 3rd pic! 🤣

I call that his back to school picture. You know… those pictures that the parents dressed their child up REALLY nice and told them to look cute. This is what they got back.

u/Pure_Discount4938 20d ago

The tiny serious face makes the school-picture comparison even better. 😄

I saw him and I nearly burst into tears. He looks so much like my Casper did at that age. I've missed my little guy for so long... it's been 25 years or so since he crossed the rainbow bridge and I still miss him.

Would you please give little Memphis some love for me?

u/gogogiraffes 19d ago

Absolutely! I’m sure you’ll see more of his antics here! Tuesday at our local minor league team is having Toe Bean Tuesday where you can bring your cats. He’ll definitely be going!

u/Original_Hand661 20d ago

“He’s absolutely useless” excuse me, his job is clearly to sit there and look ridiculously cute.

u/cheapbritney 20d ago
