To brag?

This is my cat Panther Lily. He's about a year old. I rescued him in February from his previous owner who left him in pain with an infected eye which he's now blind in, and fending for himself az he had 9 other cats, two of them female who were pregnant again. (I did contact the rspca about this man)
I took him in and he used to hide behind the toilet, I had to feed him by hand and slowly introduce him to the new house and the other 2 cats. It's taken a lot of patience, hard work and love, but he's now a very very relaxed and happy, playful boy. I'm so proud of the cat he's become. He loves nothing more than a cuddle and an ear scratch, chases that elusive red dot and is the only one of the three cats not terrified of our pet mouse!

Awww well done OP! He looks ridiculously content 🥰 so fluffy!!!

MaggieMagpie357 · 01/10/2021 13:14

Amazing!! He's very lucky to have found a forever home with someone who loves him and treats him properly ❤️

OhWhyNot · 01/10/2021 13:19

Aww Panther Lily looks very content. Lovely to hear Smile

Though don’t be fooled by that I’m so cute pose .. many times I have been fooled only to walk away with scratches after an attack which my cat has obviously enjoyed 😸 other times a tickle on his fluffy tummy makes him purr 😻

Moonface123 · 01/10/2021 13:25

Such a handsome boy, and how kind of you to take in in.

Dizzy1234 · 01/10/2021 13:28

Thanks op, I'm having a rough time and I needed a feel good story, I can't tell you how much I needed it, cat lady here too, you've got a good heart and I'm so glad your kitty is doing so well ♥️

Awww brag away! He's gorgeous - well done you! Thank you for your hard work, I love that he isn't scared of your pet mouse Grin

WitchDancer · 01/10/2021 13:39

Awww that's definitely a position of trust, just waiting to be tickled (although I wouldn't risk it as it's also a great position to attack with all four paws and mouth!)

Well done you for turning his life around Thanks

The old belly rub roulette Grin - will they purr happily or will they try to rip your arm off 😂😂

He's a very handsome cat. I'm glad you found each other.

GianaSister · 01/10/2021 15:43

I don’t like cats (they don’t like me either 😂) but that was a nice story to read.

Atleast OP told the truth and came to brag. Some would have made the thread seem to be all about other things surrounding the cat, then work in what they did.

Brag away OP. Panther Lily is gorgeous with a gorgeous name. Not sure why saying what you did is seen as bragging - that's just annoying and why you see a lot of faux modest posts and threads everywhere.

I can't hate on honesty. Faux modesty, on the other hand...

KeepTwirling · 01/10/2021 15:54

Missed the last bit.

"Faux modesty, on the other hand...🙄"

esloquehay · 01/10/2021 16:40

Sorry OP, didn't mean to use the 🙄 emoji. It was meant to be ☺️.
I'm a cat lover and have 3 boys. 😻

daytripper28 · 01/10/2021 16:43

@esloquehay

whoops!! Grin - it did seem a tad harsh.

Lovely story OP - glad it has had a happy ending.

HerRoyalRisesAgain · 01/10/2021 16:56

Thanks everyone. Don't worry, I didn't fall for his tricks this time Grin

Well there is a picture of a contented cat Smile

The poor cats that remained, I hope the rspca act did something.
He’s such a lucky kitty op, thank you for rescuing the poor boy.

MissCruellaDeVil · 01/10/2021 17:06

What a gorgeous boy!

Suzysunflower · 01/10/2021 17:24

Love the story! Brag away! Happy weekend to you and your cats (we have 2)
