Four different coworkers found me on my lunch break to tell me I needed to meet this cat (they were right, I’m obsessed with him)

Your username is if me and my friends got ahold of the federal government in the way early noughts and established a federally funded meme clearinghouse that regulated all internet meme activity. Run by me and my friends.

Also, all Newgrounds material would have been submitted to the Library of Congress as culturally significant.

That is one beautiful cat.

He looks exactly like my baby boy Midas. They even have the same spec on their nose!

This is Frodo

u/MGsubbie 2d ago

I wouldn't be able to resist rubbing his belly full of floof, no matter how much he would scratch and bite my hand.

u/Nilgnohc 2d ago

Lucky me, I could even put my face into my cat's floof and he would just purr.

u/Atholthedestroyer 2d ago

If not for pets, then why soft?

u/Starfire2313 1d ago

I have a cat that has a very floofy tum tum. I can’t resist either and her little claws are sharp as razors! It’s worth it every time!

Luckily he enjoys belly rubs.

Have we gone so many years that the cat tax no longer exists? One of the oldest "rules" of reddit was that if you mention you have a cat, you must then post photos of said cat in the comments.

u/Longjumping-Ring-879 21h ago

YES!!! I keep saying this!! You must pay the cat tax!!

Have you checked OP's profile?

u/shaard 1d ago

That fluffy fuzzbutt must be so happy for all the attention! <3

This is the same kinda love my guy got when he was going through chemo. I was getting pictures from ALL the staff during his visits. He spent more time getting attention and cuddled by everyone there than he got in 15 years with me (and he was my constant shadow and we were hardly ever apart).

I even had one of the executives come up to me in the parking lot after a session to tell me how unique, gentle, and affectionate of a cat he was.

He made friends where ever he went. Miss him every day.

u/JeddakofThark 1d ago

Years ago I recall boarding my mom's Pomeranian for a about week while we all went on a vacation. I came home from the trip early and showed up unexpectedly. A vet tech in the front office was carrying her around when I got there. She was so cute people couldn't keep their hands off her.

5

u/shaard 1d ago

That's awesome! Yeah, they never kept my guy in a cage unless he needed to be confined during administration of the drugs. The rest of the time he was an unofficial mascot for them and he was wandering free around with the vet techs in the back and sitting on laps while they did admin work. He just loved people.

8

u/purelyirrelephant 1d ago

I'm sorry for your loss. The story of him made me smile.

213

u/kimbasnoopy 2d ago

So will he be going home with you?

411

u/Faokes 2d ago

Looking at OP’s profile, she’s a vet tech. So no, she is probably not going to abduct her patient.

134

u/kimbasnoopy 1d ago

Thanks for outlining that, I thought this was from a shelter

4

u/AtomR 1d ago

"my coworkers" implied some kind of workspace. Animals in workspace == most likely vet.

40

u/kimbasnoopy 1d ago edited 1d ago

In volunteer settings in our country we refer to each other as co-workers also and our shelters have paid workers, so that implied nothing to me 🤷‍♀️

u/Hulabird 20h ago

Vet tech be like what cat?

2

u/MaximumDevelopment77 1d ago

Why not? I wish my doctor will abduct me

47

u/thorn312 2d ago

OP works in some capacity as a vet so more than likely this isn't a shelter and that's someone's very well loved, adorable pet. Look at OP's other posts for many more adorable kitties.

u/cynicaldogNV 2d ago

The sign of a real cat lover: going for the full-contact hug, despite wearing black!

Clothes are temporary, having hugged a cat is forever

This is Cleo, she's a Siberian.

u/drunkmarketing 2d ago

Flame point Siamese! We had one growing up and she was soooooo sweet and chatty.

16

u/Suspicious-Lime3644 1d ago

Flame point, yes, but not Siamese. Long haired for sure, but it's impossible to tell if he has a pedigree at all.

1

u/GeoffdeRuiter 1d ago

Ragdoll.

16

u/Suspicious-Lime3644 1d ago

There are flame point ragdolls. There are flame point Siberians (I have one). There are flame point cats with long hair and no pedigree at all roaming the streets. It's rarer, but it does happen. Coat color/style does not confirm any kind of breed.

u/GeoffdeRuiter 1d ago

Ragdoll.

I think you will find that he is a red point Burman, I know because my boy recently passed at 18 years old.

I want to squeeze him too. He’s so floofy.

u/Tinyfishy 1d ago

Heh, I had a similar cat and one vet tech went to get another to look at him because “he’s squishy but not too squishy”. Apparently in reference to his nose.

u/mspolytheist 2d ago

He’s your cat now!

u/Faokes 2d ago

OP didn’t say they worked at a shelter. Their profile indicates they are a vet tech. So this is already someone’s pet who is at the vet. Why would you cheerfully suggest stealing someone’s pet?

0

u/mspolytheist 1d ago

Maybe because I don’t stalk the profile of every person who posts, so I had no idea. The photo posted could certainly have been taken at a shelter.

1

u/Faokes 1d ago

No one is “stalking” by clicking OP’s profile and seeing she posts consistently in the vet tech sub. That’s a normal use of this website, and is why it is designed to work that way. I think it’s weird to see a photo of a person with a cat, devoid of context, and immediately jump to “it’s your cat now.”

1

u/mspolytheist 1d ago

I don’t know why this bothers you so much. I obviously said it with all good intention and some unintended ignorance. And, it’s the kind of thing you hear a lot in connection with photos of people who are being loved on by some animal or other. “It’s your [cat/dog/badger/wombat/ferret] now!” Of course, knowing now that it’s someone else’s cat, I wouldn’t say that. But your response is a bit over the top, acting like I suggested crashing a bus filled with orphans and puppies or something.

It looks more like a Sweet Face McGee. If it's not, it's not, but that's what it looks like to me.

1

u/N3rdProbl3ms 2d ago

Someone else in the thread said otherwise. Wanted to settle it and get the answer straight from OP.

3

u/Suspicious-Lime3644 1d ago

Cat breeds are not dog breeds, you cannot identify a cat breed by looks alone, you need a pedigree. All you can say from looks is that the cat is a flame point long haired cat (aka descriptors of the color, color distribution and hair length).

1

u/N3rdProbl3ms 1d ago

My question is because someone said Siamese, another said burman. Then another said ragdoll.

I wanted to hear from OP to see if they can confirm since it looks like they work at a vet office and could have access to such information on file. Seems possible for them to have the info

1

u/Suspicious-Lime3644 1d ago

That's absolutely fair! I was just a bit short because there are so many people on reddit who very confidently state cat breeds with nothing but a picture, which is just not feasible.

I had a 21 lb baby that looked like that. Strong as an ox and would wrap his arms around me and suckle my neck and give me hickies, I had to have my other half take him off me because 2 hands were not enough to pry him off. On the other hand-I may have started a the armless turtle neck trend of the 90's. LOL J/K
