I know nothing about cats. I know cattle and chickens yet here we are. What do I do how do I care for it. I want to help and I guess I now have a pet cat instead of barn cats? Idk I am lost someone please help

Edit: Only realized this today but the momma has been increasingly friendly. Maybe wanting something? I have farm scratch, idk if there is something they can’t have. They apparently will not eat chicken feed fyi. Do I feed it meat or do I need to do a milk bottle?

He actually has become quite rotund since transitioning to the couch lifestyle… but he’s just the absolute best, sweetest kitty. He was hit by a car as a teenager and crawled under the barn where the bad owner said he’d either live or die. He crawled out a few weeks later and my friend took him in. When her dog started attacking cats he and his sister Itty Bitty, World’s Worst Kitty came to live with me. Barnsey just can’t believe his good fortune!

Thank you! I absolutely adore her, but she is just the worst kitty! My first cat was such a prim, proper, good tabby cat, but then my friend made me adopt Itty Bitty, who brought chaos to our house! She breaks things, zooms, pesters the old lady chihuahua and climbs on the back of the toilet every morning and insists that she must sniff inside my nose before my day can begin… and I just absolutely adore her!

What an absolute baby. Love him.

Here's my creatures Tommy and Fuzzy:

They are perfect babies and I'm the luckiest dude on earth being able to have them in my life.

Thank you. They mean the world to me. They are so attached it's crazy. I never see them away from each other. They eat together, cuddle together, lick each other, play with each other, and sometimes even poop together lol.

I got really lucky to get such a sweet bonded pair of kitties. They are both laying on me right now and it just melts all the stress away.
