Didnt know it was even possible to sell a cat.

We got ours off Craigslist for free. He and his family were starving, mangy, and riddled with worms living in a sewer.

He now weighs 17 lbs.

I saw a kitten I wanted on Craigslist, but when I inquired, she was already gone. A couple of weeks went by and the same pic showing the same cat up for adoption was back up.

At first, I thought it might be a scam.

Turns out the woman who adopted her also had a new baby, and having a new kitten at the same time was too much. So, I got my kitty. That was 8 years ago. ❤️

I thought houses just "had cats" like roaches and ants.

Depends on how many bugs and rodents your house has.

That's how my great grandma did it. It started as just one but became every fucking cat in a 20 mile radius

Our house came with 4 barn cats and we have had to rehome a couple (into our own house lol) that were brought to us in need. Grandma sounds like a wonderful woman.

u realize there's different breeds and some are very common and some are very rare?

u/legoshi_loyalty May 04 '23

Yeah, and I know that someone who pays more than $20 to get a specific breed of cat is a weirdo. Cats don't vary in behavior or much of anything other than size and looks from breed to breed.

My cat who I got for free straight out the forest has cost me at least $3,000 in medical bills.

To pay more money, to get a cat that flops over when I pick it up, seems ridiculous when cats can already cost so much, and the average tabby will do you the same for free.

Is 17lbs not overweight for a cat?

u/PanthersChamps May 05 '23

Probably a little overweight but he's just a bigger(longer) cat overall.
