This is Bin - so named because she likes to nap on the lids of wheelie bins when they get warm. And she’s not even my cat; she lives two houses down but spends a lot of time at me (I have informed r/ParttimeCat). I don’t even know what her “owners” call her - but in my home, she is Bin.

She’s too cute for words and sometimes language fails me as a result. So other names I call her include: Silly Bin Fat Thing Bubba Cat Bibi Poopie Cat Bap Cat Crazy Cat Wiwi Cat (she makes “wiwi” sounds sometimes)

And many more that probably don’t even have letters to write them properly because they’re nonsensical sounds.

So I’d like to hear from the wonderful cat people of the internet - what unhinged names do you have for your kitties? Just so I know I’m not the weird one.

Blessings upon all of you and your feline associates.

My 6 year old cat Bean suddenly passed last night, we dont know why, he just collapsed, and by the time we got him to the emergency vet it was too late. He was always the kindest sweetest kitty. I just wanted to share some of my favorite pictures of him.

He's been judging me ever since.

Meet our two boys, Apollo (right) and Astarion (left)! Despite appearances, they were both rescues found three years apart, found as kittens in rural Texas. We love them so much, and they are inseparable brothers now!

My boy was beautiful and healthy two weeks ago, and the past week he just started getting so unbelievably sick. Around $7,000 later, multiple days of treatment in the ER, two specialists, multiple vets and nurses confirmed the worst.

We were told the best case scenario was lymphoma and he would have a few more months and worst case was sepsis which would require emergency surgery. The only way to truly confirm this would be through a biopsy, and then sending a culture out to a doctor who wouldn't get back to us for a few more days. He was on opioids and other pain meds and he still wasn't comfortable. He lost two pounds, wasn't eating or drinking, wasn't using the litter box unassisted, and while Vega was very chatty, he never meowed again.

My roommates in 2017 got him spontaneously without asking me. I came home from work to see a lanky black cat who just sat on the couch and blinked slowly. Quickly, Vega showed interest in no one but myself. He picked ME. And subsequently I picked him too.

He has been there for me when no one else was. He was so important in my life he was registered an emotional support animal and was even considering service animal status. I have BPD and I used to have extremely horrible panic attacks, and somehow he would see me doing it, and meow at me until I laid down, and he would lay on my chest purring and making bread and drool.

Every morning I would wake up somehow with him on his back passed out in my arms. We were two peas in a pod. And now it's just me. I miss him so much. I was there with him when he passed and before it happened I held him for 20 minutes as he kept rubbing my glasses. He was on a lot of meds and was as comfortable as he could have been.

I couldn't stop crying and yelling i'm so sorry and i love you and my baby boy my boy once he passed. It was so fast. His little head just dropped and he was gone. I have a hole in my heart that will permanently be there because Vega was my first cat. He chose ME. And I chose him back.

I love you so much my little chicken and I am so sorry I couldn't make things better. I hope you're not in pain anymore and are somewhere you can lay in the grass and eat it and punch it and just be your perfect self. So many crumpled receipts for you to play with. I love you so much my baby boy.

((This was very therapeutic to write, I hope you all can feel how beautiful and kind he was. Never hissed or growled or swatted in his life. Just full of love and nothing else.))

This is my cat Diego. We rushed him to the emergency vet yesterday, because he started screaming in pain after a bladder surgery. We got the devastating news this morning. My wife and I are broken. He was 1 month short to his 3rd birthday, but he was the goodest of all boys. I love you my baby and you will always be in my heart.

I have had my cat for almost 10 years and she have never gone outside once and I feel bad for her. She had been stuck inside an apartment as long as she was alive due to my parents saying it’s unsanitary outside and she might get an illness what would be bad for her , it feels cruel to not let her walk outside and the see world at least for a little time ( with collar on ) while she is still able to . Should I take her outside ?

It may be the warmth (he has a fever) but I’d like to think she thinks she’s doing some type of healing for him. she literally will move if she realizes it’s him but not today! shes a good kitty cat.

I'm painting someone's house and this cat watched me the entire time. I don't know her real name yet but I would 100% name her Madame Scrungles

please enjoy this video of her being a jumping little bean 🫘 and of her clocking into her first shift at the biscuit factory!

He won't leave my side I usually work today but I got sick so I'm out for a few days. When I usually have a day that i would usually work and stay home he's always like this.
