I can send you several.
I'm so sorry to hear that
Love all the photos, mlp! I am sorry to hear about Susanna.
Thank you. She had absolute trust in me, which set her apart from the others, and made everything so much more difficult.

He loves taking them. It must make him feel good to be all clean and dusty afterwards.

This is a little weird because I also posted this on VB but I wanted to cover all bases.
The name he came with from the shelter was Big Pumpkin.
I couldn't decide what to name him so I was calling him BP and I kind of liked it. So I decided on Bogart Paulie so I could keep the initials. He is affectionately now called Bogart Paulie, Bogey Paul, BP and Beep!
He will never be my Thor, and that's a good thing. He has similar traits and yet he is very different. The main thing is, he is a big mush and very affectionate, gentle and laid back. He has made himself at home and it's as if he has lived here for years. I think he is happy to have a home!
Cybil was annoyed for about 5 minutes, but because he showed no aggression toward her, she is tolerating him. They are both asleep in the same room, Bogey on the loveseat and Cybil in the chair.
I love him already!

Hi Pickle Juice...how friendly/social is your kitty? I almost adopted a cat similar to my Bogart, above, (Sonny) but he is supposedly feral and I was afraid if I adopted him, he wouldn't come around. I really need a cat I can cuddle. I had one meeting with him and it didn't go well at all. Then I found Bogart and it was love at first sight! But I still think of Sonny and wonder, since he is definitely good with other cats, just not people, maybe I could take him in too, since I will get my fill of affection from Bogart and Sonny can then just keep to himself and still have a good home with me!

Oh he's very social, loves dogs and other cats, and is ok with people, it just takes him a little longer to get used to people than dogs or cats. I caught him when he was small enough to fit in my hand though, and his eyes were still dark blue. He's on the small side, like his mama.Hi Pickle Juice...how friendly/social is your kitty?

I adopted a cat who was supposedly ex-feral, but I'm pretty sure the rescue people got it wrong and he was just a stray who'd got a bit aggressive. On our first meeting I put my hand in his cage to say hello and without further ado he bit me. I loved him from the start though and I adopted him anyway. Within a few weeks he was sleeping curled up next to me in bed and now he is such a lap cat that I don't believe he can't have been socialised to humans as a kitten.Hi Pickle Juice...how friendly/social is your kitty?

My friend has one, and I'm sure like all her other pets (except the dogs) it will be a year or two before she decides to rehome her. It's one of the reasons we're not really friends any more
I'm not sure what education can be done to stop people doing this.
I don't know either. It's such an uphill battle. On the parrot board I belong to, there are a bunch of people who try to warn everyone about the extent of the commitment, but only people who are interested in educating themselves even bother to join specialized forums, and even then, the advice often falls on deaf ears.
Like everything to do with humans and their interactions with nonhumans, it's an unending uphill battle.
Awesome pics, mlp! You're like the Pied Piper!
Ha! Wait until I tell you about *my* rats.
I love mice. And Pickle Juice, your cat is very handsome and dignified.
Bogart is a cutie.
Several of my most affectionate cats started out as ferals. Some never come around altogether. I'll do a thread in the next couple of days about former ferals as house cats - about half of my cats started out completely feral or semi feral.

This is Bailey, and his mouth. Pic was taken a couple years ago.
