I have given her the nickname Banana Peel

She's very vocal, skinny, but otherwise doesn't seem feral. She had no problem taking food from us and no visible injuries

But the sooner we can get her to a vet and away from city cars and coyotes? The better. Terry made a good point about that, we'll see

But she is now loafing in our yard

oh a baby

Oooh sweetie

She's a very pretty little thing and Terry is hoping she'll go into the trap so we can get her checked

oh shes PRETTY

She's SO PRETTY and we're suckers ok we just wanna make sure she's good

Tony don't name the cat HER NAME IS BANANA PEEL and if we can get her to a vet and she's chipped, we'll find her home. If not? We're gunna make sure she's taken care of

But any tips or anything from folks is greatly appreciated! We're working with what we got but we're gunna do our best

She is stunning , oh my gosh

She is so SO GORGEOUS and such a sweet thing even if she is a little scared

It didn't take long for her to hop the fence into our yard and at least she's away from the busier street. Currently loafed on a tree stump

We've caught banana peel

She is .. NOT happy

YOU DID IT!!!!

huge accomplishment!

criminal in custody!!

banana peel....

BANANA PEEL.... I'm glad you caught her!!

And we are OFF to the vet THANKS FOR THE PATIENCE tonight folks

Ugh she's not chipped

But the vet said her coat looks good and she isn't feral. Needs to clear from animal control (which opens on Monday) to get her checked. In the meantime, we're going to go around the neighborhood

Also see if anyone reported a lost cat

what a cute black nose...

ohhh she looks like an elderly girl

what a beauty I would take her if I could 😭

ohhh she's so cute... baby girl

Ok Banana Peel is all set up in her private spot in the basement

TOMORROW we see if anyone's reported a lost cat

Now excuse me, I've got some Johnny Walker Black that's got my name on it

But SHE IS GOOD had to run into Petco at stupid o'clock, cowboy boots slappin' like I NEED THIS GIANT CRATE AND THIS mother fucking pillow don't ask questions

Banana Bread/Peel deserves her fucking comfy pillow don't look at me

Banana Peel peed herself last night so we gave her a warm bath (AND SHE WAS SUCH A GOOD GIRL) currently cleaning her bed so she has a nice, warm bed today

Doing the lord’s work over there!

I HAVE HAD BANANA PEEL for less than 24 hours and I'll be so pissed if it comes back that someone either let her out on purpose or abandoned her. I will find them myself and kick down the door like

Hello mother fuckers it's me, a monster

But we're hoping she does belong to someone and it is just a case of an accidental breakout

we couldn't in good fucking conscious leave her outside a night. Too many cars and she was hungry as shit. She may not be too happy with us but

She's taking another nap again

So Banana Peel loves pets like

she's been all up in our shit when we clean the cage or change the food just head bumpin

rubs face slowly

queen banana peel....

oh a perfect angel ;-;

QUEEN BANANA PEEL ..

man she's so lucky she found you guys. i know there's probably plenty of strays in boston but the thought of a cat running around those streets literally makes the hair on my neck rise

HOPEFULLY she has a home and just got out by accident but man if she's not chipped

I feel bad that she has to sleep in the basement bar, but it's to keep her and our cats safe. So we washed all her bedding this morning so it was nice and toasty and she is getting spoiled with the good food, we do not care

Yeah that's .. what we were scared about

yeah quarantine is very important

Boston is a tightly packed city and even if we're on the outskirts technically, it's still densely populated as hell

Tony was talking to our local mail lady and some people on our street, and they didn't know of any lost cats, but they agree they've been seeing a Lot more strays recently : ( which we were also wondering about, we feel like we've been seeing/hearing them more often

I wonder if there's been a lot of people moving out and just leaving their cats behind... it's horrible but it does happen, a lot.

Yeah we've been scrubbing down every time we pet her so we don't pass anything on, keeping things cleaned and washed.

Yeah YEAH and I won't go on a rant here because I'll just turn into a giant asshole but

Are you going to be able to get her checked out for FIV and other stuff soon?

(and no worries IM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU)

If you abandon your cat, I will find your cat, and then I will find you, and the last thing you will hear is the sound of a Mustang's engine, do not test me

vrroooom vroom boys

Yeah we have to get the clear from Animal control first (Massachusetts rule) and their offices open on Monday

We already left our contact info with the officer. Once we get the green light, we can bring her in to get a more thorough examination from a vet

On a happier note, she has gotten a little more comfortable. She didn't like the bed but she likes her blue blanket the vet gave us when they tried to see if she had a chip

yeah it does sound like a rash of moveouts

Yeah :T I have full sympathy for people who leave their cats at a shelter, even if the reason is straight up "I just don't want a cat anymore" I can forgive that because they are at least doing the responsible thing about it!
But if you leave your cat behind, nope

cats seem to really like that shade of blue!! at least mh cats do

she did a SQUISHY paw and y'know what, I'll count that as a god damn win

especially since we had to give her a bath and she didn't bite, hiss, or scratch. She just was like oh no, please don't do this

Baby you were smelly, ya done made a whoopsie, we had to

But yeah uh. I have very strong opinions about outdoor cats in the city and they are: don't

And if you can't take care of your pet anymore, I do get it, I do understand, but thinking they can fend for themselves out on the streets is so fucking irresponsible, especially if they're used to having a home. I see this with reptiles a lot too and I just

angry fucking maracas over here

Rant over, more Queen Banana Peel

true royalty

Her majesty!

Someone used the litter box last night! Fucking PARTY POPPERS

yooo you go queen banana peel

She also slept on her blankie

Meanwhile my daughter upstairs is like "you're cheating on me with another cat in the basement?? >:[ "

Yeah Lastya is like WHOMST THE FUCK

Meanwhile Taika couldn't give less a shit

BANANA PEEL UPDATE: SO got the green light from Animal Control to go get her examined. Going in tomorrow at 7am to the vet

No one has reported her missing which is a fucking bummer

But a thorough exam should at least us how she's doing. We had supervised wander around the basement time last night and she just basically circled the 3 of us demanding pets

I don't get emotional often but man this cat has got me by the heart strings. We think she may be an older girl

So vet before the office tomorrow and I'm like MAYBE THEY WILL FIND A CHIP maybe fingers fucking crossed here

We know in the end a shelter is going to be the best for her if we can't find her owner

SO WHATEVER HAPPENS we will make sure she's taken care of because that's the most important thing

She's fucking great, A QUEEN in this household of monsters

Ohhh my dude you did such a good thing

I love her... crossing fingers for her too

yeah at least she is very much not outside!!! doin good man

On another positive note SHE USED the litter box again ANOTHER FUCKING WIN PARTY POPPERS 🎉

I'm just glad she was so easy to trap. She's A GOOD FUCKING BEAN and really we're doing what everyone else would do like

Rubs face RUBS MY ENTIRE FUCKING FACE

WHO CUT ONIONS IN THIS HOUSE

whoever did, they're cutting them here too!!

But THANK YOU ALL FOR loving her too diwkdjdjfk I will keep tossing in updates here especially after the vet visit tomorrow

We had some spare toys so she currently has a catnip toy shaped like a knife

Doesn't look like she's investigated it much but this is around the time she usually naps, so I'mma let her nap for a while

My voice sounds dumb as shit BUT

Instagram

It’s giving “Uh-huh, and I’m about to test out my new murder knife” vibes

your voice does NOT sound dumb as shit A+ work

And dude, your voice isn’t dumb. You should hear me baby talk every furry critter in the land

YOU GOTTA baby talk cats it's the fucking rule (also djdjd THANK YOU I just can't help falling into cute voice)

She came out for some more pets and she always came when called if she wandered too far into the basement

I HAVE CRIED TWICE over this cat today fucking onions man

She's so god damn good SO GOOD A DELIGHT

;-; WHAT A SWEET GIRL

I can make some cat toys and maybe some blankets!!

I have to not do anything strenuous so I could use an excuse to crochet 😂

hmu if you can think of anything she needs, happy to donate ;;

if I lived alone I would adopt her in a heartbeat what a graceful lady omw

I have a ton of cotton yarn and some cotton batting

oh dude that would be dsbjksjb so fucking nice of you I AM NOT SURE how long we'll have her but we'll take some cat toys FOR SURE

Just let me know the price of 'em, I'll pay for 'em because you put in the work and the time IT'S ONLY FAIR

POINTS TO EYES points to you I know where you are, I will throw cash at you like I fucking stole it

what if I. Genuinely don't remember the price ^^;

I think dishie is something like 4 bucks a skein and you could make 50 cat toys with a skein and have enough left over for a small washcloth so it would probably work out to like, 47 cents

also people give me scraps because beginners are scraps magnets because everyone is excited for you and wants to foist off their ends lmf

I think I paid 99 cents for thw entire giant bag of batting the size of my torso

What if I. Send you cash money anyway

WHAT IF I DID THAT

you cannot, in fact, stop me

I'm a tiny monster man, with no monster plan

(but seriously this is dgbkdgbsj very fucking sweet because I want to give her the best shit she can get)

I know, I fucked myself, I named her, and I fucked myself, but I would gladly fuck myself again 100 times over

Why don't we grab coffee sometime and call it square

YELLING ABSOLUTELY that's always on the table but

I will fite you (lovingly)

meet me in the money pit, the goods and service mobile if you will

Banana Peel isn't going to know what the fuck to do with herself I swear to god. Kidnapped by men in the night, toys and food. If she gets adopted out, I'm leaving her a care package with shit and a note like

Hey, name her whatever you want, but I know her as Banana Peel and she's the sweetest thing in the world. Love her as much as my stupid ass loves her and I've only known her for three days. Here are some rad ass toys from my RAD ASS friend

More evening out timeTony AKA That Damn Monster (@nestingdevil) • Instagr...

Of course she likes your boots those rule

AW DUDE DJDJDH THANK YOU you're seriously so fucking nice djdjdj

Just got em in these boots were made for cattin'

WHEEZE ok I gotta pass the fuck out so we can do her 7am vet visit but one last thing

She followed me around when we were doing her Supervised (TM) out time. Like she saw me move and she just followed

And everyone in my bud circle is like: we would die for banana peel

Buddies same

Ok vet time, I'll give an update on her when the doc checks her out!

Ok so vet said she's maybe around 3 years old

Gums and teeth look good, no chip sadly, no fleas but did have some flea dirt, so she's gotten some flea medication and a rabies shot

She also isn't fixed but no babies so NO BOYS FOR YOU YOUNG LADY

NO BOYS

She did VERY GOOD at the vet and fucking hoovered her treats

I'm staying home and working in the basement so she can have some walk around time and she keeps following my ass

Look at this good fucking girl

Your voice is great. Also, Banana Peel is great. What a good girl.

Djdjdhfh THANK YOU SO MUCH

She's so fucking good man

She just jumped into my lap and is now coiled up on me like

GUESS I'M NOT FUCKING MOVING ..

What a sweetheart

SORRY I KEEP fucking dumping shit here please feel free to mute, it's all gunna be about Banana Peel but she is very fucking sweet

She just wanted somewhere to curl up and not be alone so lap it is

ohhh only three? ;-; not an old lady after all!

what a little sweetheart....

Yeah based on how clean her teeth and gums were as well as not be spayed, the vet thought she was pretty young. Also her eyes looked good, no signs of aging

INHALES man I really wish people would stop cutting god damn onions around here Jesus fucking Christ

She'll probably look her age once she's put on a little bit of weight.

I'm a monster man, not an onion fan (ok no I actually fucking love onions)

THAT'S what I'm hoping for! She was around 7lbs and man oh man did she fucking go for the kitty yogurt like it was the only thing she's had. It made the vet laugh like

She is beauty, she is grace. If I lived closer I would snatch her up so fast, she looks like she is such a character.

"Did she even chew these treats?" No doc she just GOES FOR IT

Also. Anyone who mutes this is a punk. Yeah, I said it.

Dude if I could I WOULD MAKE THAT fucking drive just knowing she'd be in a good home. I know we'll find her one I KNOW BUT STILL

The Queen has also found her throne

To fit the monster man theme, she is absolutely a Flerken. You can’t convince me otherwise

it’s the same picture

IT'S THE SAME PICTURE

YOU'RE TELLING ME SHE'S BABY?

YOU'RE TELLING ME SHE SITS ON LAPS???

SHE SITS ON LAPS AND SHE IS BABY

that is extremely unfair

I want a cat to sit on my lap without it being a ploy to get more food

staring hard at Taika

Jzjshsjd WHEEZE KIT HOLY SHIT

Also she fucking PASSED out next to my giant ass disaster wallet

UNCONSHUS.....

she looks so happy to be indoors

She's fucking OUT done and splayed across the pillow like she's always owned it

Making BISCUITS for lunchInstagram

I DO SWEAR THERE SO just in case you're in public I drop a fuck or two but ANOTHER WIN making fucking biscuits

first off banana peel is still perfection

secondly im losing it over how our wallets are basically the same

i got so much shit in it bro.........

grips hand in giant wallet AND IT'S all important I say, fanning through enough Dunkin Donuts gift cards to kill a man

I have .. so much shit in there. So. Much shit

And a spare weapon in your time of need

A PORTABLE BRICK

I opened mine at the dr and like literally a handful of business cards fell out

bro that is a BRICK

8 for the same barbershop and 6 for the same tattoo shop

GOD FUCKING SAME MAN the amount of times I've opened it or beefed it on the floor and just

Tattoo artist, Dunkin donuts, train card, some random artist I found at a con card come FLYING out like

DON'T JUDGE ME

Also she has come into my lap THREE times today

look at this sweet ol' lass

OH does she have any preferences so far? Like long stringy things, kickers, spheres?

I got her to play with a stringy thing for a bit! Not sure how much interest she has in other stuff yet

I had to lol

she is so fucking beautiful

god i wish we could have another cat and were close enough.

like technically we 'could' have another cat but regulus hates other cats and took almost this long to even tolerate vodka and theyre both grouchy old men and she deserves better than that lol

YEAH that's kind of where we're at too... Taika would be fine I think, but Lastya took forever to tolerate him
It was even more of a no when we were worried she was on the older end and Lastya would be a bully, but even so... and we don't have a convenient slow introduction room anymore like we did with Lastya ;;

She is such a sweetie though

(and tbf we also don't even know how miss Banana Peel would react to other cats yet... we just know how she reacts to people)

Yeah we don't know how she would react to other cats but God SHE IS SO GORGEOUS and such a sweetheart and if I knew someone who'd house her well, I would fly, train, or drive there RIDE OR DIE for Banana Peel

Me in Florida like I wanna see the Peel

THE PEEL

Some more photos I took of her before I left

The Peel apparently jumped on my bar when I was gone and screamed

she really said WHEREMST THE FUCK

WHEEZE SHE REALLY FUCKING DID just jumped up on the Shit Show towel like

WHOMST AND WHEREMST AND WHYMST

COZY

THE PEEL

Her bar now

yeah it's hers

SO banana peel is getting some blood work done today and she HAD THE WORST TIME driving over. She got so big worked up she peed herself

But we are here, checking to see if she has FeLV/FIV, doing an ear exam, a distemper (or whatever it's called) vaccine, and another examination

ALSO the vet was like: "Does she have a name you'd like us to use?"

So now they have a cat in the system that will forever be known as Banana Peel

Poor baby, I had to take Debi’s cat to the vet the other day and she did the same thing. I’m like baby no, they’re trying to help. All hail Queen Banana Peel! Long may she reign

ALL HAIL QUEEN BANANA PEEL

Also lays down lays down and cries

We got the best fucking news. She's negative for FHIV and leukemia. She also doesn't have mites, just a slight ear infection we can treat with antibiotics (which I have now)

My friend drove me over since Diablo has a check engine light and bought her a new carrier and RUBS FACE RUBS FACE HARD

Onions early in the AM folks

Also OH NO DEBI'S CAT BABY NO...

LOOK. For info like that, I will take the onions! Give me them! Aquarius is super attached to me and gets so pissed when her youngest cat Cali (who hates everyone on the planet) is like haaay girlfriend. Cali’s mostly an outside cat but Debi has cat doors. But every time I go over it’s like watching a Wild West standoff with those two

I CAN LOVE YOU BOTH LADIES, plenty of me to go around

WOO CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH

More mysteries though.. what is your past lil peel

so since Queen Peel arrives, Lastya has just been like WHO IS THIS HO YOU BROUGHT INTO THE BASEMENT who is she how fucking dare you and has been making sure she's the one sleeping at the foot of our bed at night

ALL CATS THE SAME MAN

Dude I'm so fucking happy we really got lucky. If she has been positive, I probably would have McLost it a bit. I know you can manage it but still SHE'S BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH

But the vet and my neighbors have all been saying the same thing. A lot of people when they move just .. leave their cats behind

And I'm like well fuck the lot of you, SHE'S OURS NOW

Miss Chin for Days Queen Banana Peel

Who also will Mufasa her own ass for a crumb

She doesn’t know is how lucky she is but she will

She keeps on giving me head bumps and she flopped next to me at the vet and I KNOW I'M BEING SENTIMENTAL HERE BUT it felt good to know she thinks I'm a safe spot even though I took her to the big bad vet

You’ve been chosen, no getting around it.

THIS IS the house of strays and I AM GLAD we were able to catch her that night

Also someone is fucking tired

I want to spoil her rotten and kiss her face

WE WILL MAKE SURE to spoil her and give her a face kiss as a gift from you

You’re the best

AAAAAAAAH IM SO GLAD YOU GOT THE GOOD NEWS

HEALTHY PEEL....

terrible to think someone would just leave her behind but. you benefit so

yeah honestly given her behavior I had a really strong feeling that was what happened, she was clearly adrift and looking for a safe spot to Stay Put.

I'm so glad she bumbled into your territory specifically

She looks so comfy in the last pictures. What a cutie

dude I am just. SO GLAD SHE WAS EASY TO TRAP

Terry and I have been trying to make her as comfortable as possible. The basement isn't the ideal but until we see how she deals with other cats, we gotta take things slow

THANKFULLY we have a bed down there, the bar is pretty clean, and it's dry. but WE ARE DOING WHAT ANYONE WOULD DO we just got so fucking lucky with her

We actually have been getting her to play. The string toy and catnip she's meh on but a Peel will go fucking nuts for laser

give her the dot

A sleepy fucking Peel

She's ridiculously cute

her royal highness

The Peel!!!

BIG PEEL BACK IN TOWN spending most of her time either in her blanket nest or just coiled up in my lap like a loaf

She doesn't like her ear drops which FUCKING FAIR and while she wiggles, she does let us give em to her

The first picture, she’s like: ah, the world wide web .. excellent work father

Skqksmdjdnnd CHOKING COUGHING FUCK you're not wrong

she really fucking loves laps

a baby

A QUEEN PEEL UPDATE looks like our buddies are going to adopt her since they have a bigger space than we do. They do have others cats but our slow feed behind the door/a gate with Taika is going well and they have a room she can get comfortable in

And I will be able to see her cute ass whenever I visit

We had a bunch of folks over this past weekend and she is not stranger shy at all WHICH IS EXCELLENT

And now she's passed out on my lap just full on banana splitting

she also likes to tuck herself in and it's the most precious fucking shit

passed the fuck out

OH THATS SO GOOD

I’m so glad you found buddies to take the queen

redfirelight SAME MAN I'll miss her don't get me wrong but she'll have her own space and plenty of room to get comfortable while she adjusts to cats WHICH I DON'T think will be much of an issue

YEAH I get it - wish you could keep her but this sounds like the best possible outcome

We've had some between the door food and greet tests with Taika because he's a dingus just to see how she reacts to other cats. There was a hiss, a nose touch, then she headed off on her own way

So with time and following the slow introduction sessions, I think she's gunna be good

GOOD!!!

She is SO GOOD

oh I'm so glad you found her a good home!!

Did I make a stupid purchase for Queen Peel? Yes

Am I sorry about it?

No

It's got a pink/purple bell and a banana charm on it and I have no fucking regrets

I'm making her a banana stuffie as soon as I find a pattern

Oh dude you foskdjkfjd don't have to do that man BUT IF YOU DO we'll make sure to bring it to our bud's place once she's settled in

TORTIE

oh what a friendly

cat distribution system is working

SHE'S A GOOD BEAN

A warning for her being loud but a Banana ZoomTony AKA That Damn Monster (@nestingdevil) • Instagr...

Not gonna lie, I was waiting her to launch herself at your face from the top of the steps like a pro wrestling gremlin. Cue the John Cena theme

I love when they zoom around the house, her meow is so precious. I can’t

SHE DID TRY to steal my lunch by just SHOVING HER ENTIRE FACE onto my plate

Whoa, whoa, whoa you need to pump the brakes. That is clearly the communal dish of the household

CLEARLY

I just stared at her like: this is spicee meat babe, you're gunna hate it

as I dodged a cat like a fucking ball

She’s like you can give it to me or I can make you wish you did
