Pepper!

Pepper is adorable :'[

she's 5 and a little chonky but full of love

She has a very relaxed face

i love her

omg what a good girl

she has a drooling issue and her ears are really warm so I'm probably going to schedule her first vet appointment soon to see if we can't get that all cleaned out for her

her previous owner passed away she's been in the shelter since May, poor thing

poor baby ;; i'm glad she has you

poor girl ;;

Aww, sweet girl.

oh no she's darling and I love her

hi pepper <3

and also happy cake day???

yes that's also a thing today!

OH I LOVE HER... happy birthday to you and hello to Pepper!

thank you

Oh no, hello pepper!!

And happy birthday!

a cutie

ahhhh welcome miss pepper!!!!

an hour later and I think she's a little overwhelmed by the whole thing

she got into a closet and burrowed into a dark space under my hoodies

They're cozy hoodies and that probably means she has good taste

poor baby. enjoy your hoodie nest.

tbh that's encouraging for me - I was worried that she'd be the kind of cat who's always trying to run out of the front door. my door opens out to a busy street and it's fully the danger zone if she bolts

if she wants to moodily brood in the dark, that's better for everyone

it is

That's a better instinct.

That's good. She can get more of your smell that way.

Awwwwww!! Hi, Pepper!!!

And happy birthday!!

awww, she looks like a v sweet bby. and happy birthday, jessie!!

who needs cake when you can have Cat. welcome pepper!!

she is determined to stay in the closet

a lovely baby!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY and hello pepper!

happy birthday and congrats on cat c:

it's her closet now

clearly

I'm now in that New Cat moment where I'm basically just waiting for her to acknowledge the catbox

I keep showing it to her like "HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE TO PEE YET"

but NOPE every time I scoop her up and try to make her pee, she just gives me a dirty look and goes back to the closet

please just let me be confident that you won't pee somewhere weird, Pepper

but she also wasn't interested in water and I'm just like "oh no I'm eventually going to have to squirt it down your throat aren't I"

omigosh pepper is adorable and HAPPY CAKE DAY

What a sweetie! <3

She looks adorable. I love the markings and her sweet face. Good luck with the water part

Holly would live in the closet if I let her. Tho she is not a fan of the new organization which left her far less places to lay. She has to content herself with gasp cat trees and beds

I LOVE HER

oh gosh, what a sweet child. I love her.

as for her not being interested in water yet, she might just be nervous about a new home? some cats will go a day or so with out drinking or eating out of nerves. I know getting water into Bucky when we go to a new house is really hard on him. But yeah, def keep an eye on that but I hope she just drinks soon and relaxes! she is so cute.

+1 to that, when we moved antimony basically just paced and panicked bc she's high strung and dumb. but once she had a little time to calm down she started poking around. if you're really worried about her anxiety levels there's that feliway stuff!

also lookin at her pics Just Ahhhhhh

WHAT A PERFECT LIITTLE APPLE HEAD

those BIG EARS

s...sob it's a whole day later and the litterbox is still empty

either she's full to bursting or I need to go on a hunt for a puddle

Puddle hunt, oh dear. Good luck.

she could jusr be not drinking and therefore not peeing. I have heard of some cats refusing to do either for am absurd amount of time after the stress of a move

I'm sure she'll come around though...

and hopefully no pee puddles

I left her alone for a couple of hours and came back to pee in the appropriate place! I told her I was proud

Oh, good!

Maybe she's just shy about the peeing.

good girl pep!

proud of her

oh yay!!!

she might just still be a little uncomfortable doing it around people she doesn't know too well yet

She's out of the closet!

we snuggled on the couch for a bit and then I left her there when she was drowsy and I guess she realized the couch was an okay spot

she's kneading my purse but that's a small sacrifice to make for her comfort

good job baby girl

i love her sweet face and lil stripes aaaa

yeah she's a generic brown tabby with these flecks of orange that make her just a little rusty

She looks good!

omg that little bit of ginge! she's so pretty.

i love her. What a good girl. Her colors are lovely too!

she has such a nice round face!

good she is finally coming around and even snuggling. so adorable
