How tolerant is your snowshoe?

How tolerant is your snowshoe?

My girl's pretty accepting, perhaps a little too accepting... except when she's done with pats and she love bites her mama, lol.

PS. Her favourite toy is her dino, which you can't see here bc she's busy laying on it. 🦖

Is my cat a snowshoe?

Me and my partner adopted Blue a little less than a year ago when he was ~3 or 4. We were told he is a Ragdoll but I had comments on a viral TikTok that he may be a Snowshoe instead. He loves plays fetch and is much bigger than all of my other cats. When I looked online, I wasn’t able to find a clear answer on whether Snowshoes can be long haired or not.

Shoulder snowshoe anyone?

Little rascal would chew on every single cable in the world if it was up to her.

Anyone Notice This

Anyone notice their baby's fur getting darker as they get older? Just curious.

I adopted Ruby in August of last year and the bottom picture is her today.

Farewell, my love.

These waves of grief are overwhelming. We had a vet scheduled to come to our home tomorrow morning, but after getting home from work yesterday I knew something was going on. My sweet girl had been hiding under the bed or in my closet a lot recently, but she was still drinking water and eating, albeit less than before. But I came home and saw her on my kiddo’s beanbag chair, and I just knew. She was coming out because she needed me to know. She was coming out to say goodbye to us. I called and found someone who could come last night and we just spent the next hours crying and loving on her.

I don’t know that I’ve ever known grief like this. I stayed with her on the floor, after the sedatives took effect. She and I were face to face and I stayed like that with her until the end, petting her and telling her how much I loved her. I don’t know if she could even see me after the meds, but I’d like to think that my face was the last thing she saw. I cried harder than…maybe ever. It came from my soul and I just cannot fathom my life without her.

And to my girl: we had a good fucking run, baby. You were the best cat I could have ever asked for. You and I went through so many firsts, so many big life changes. You were truly my soul cat and I am forever grateful for the 17 years you and I had together. I am forever grateful you had almost 10 years with my daughter and taught her how to be the cat lady that she is now. We will never forget you and we will always carry you in our hearts.

New to Simease Parenting

My new fur baby will be here in a few weeks!

Her current name is Scout. Any thoughts on other names, if we go with something else? She certainly looks like a Scout.

She has a little bombay/simease black long-haired companion we are adopting too! Any thoughts on great names for all black kittens would be appreciated. Both babies are female. 🤍

Also welcome: favorite kitten food brand, or top "must have" toy, bed etc.

For context: I recently lost my 20 year old calico baby, Puppet. I fed her Science Diet and she had a favorite heated bed. Its been a while since I've had kittens.

Thank you!

Feets pushing up my keyboard...

The feets pushing up my keyboard are gentle, at least. 😆 Does your snowshoe compute with you? If so, please add a pic, thanks!

My beautiful goblin Pearl sneezed on my sushi cup and then stole a salmon chunk seconds after these photos

Is he a snowshoe?

He invited himself into my house after being attacked by what seemed to be an oppossum he climbed to the second floor to where our apartment is and rescued him and the vet told us he’s a Siamese but after joining other subreddit someone mentioned I was lucky to have a snowshoe. What do yall think

Is She a Siamese Snowshoe Cat?

I adopted her two weeks ago, and I’m curious to know if she’s a Siamese mix with snowshoe markings.

He gave himself a makeover and he’s not sorry about it.

His body is normally closer to the same color as his face in this picture.
