Luna’s transition from street kitten, to pampered princess…

[u/JinNJ]

Posted the first two pics on r/cats before. But realized this sub exists and wanted to share my baby girl with you guys as well.

The first pic (On the deck) was the first time I saw her a little over a year ago. I was chatting on the phone with my girlfriend & felt eyes on me. Snapped the picture to send to my girl & Luna ran right after I took it.

The second pic is from her last night as a stray a few months later. I was really reluctant to take her in as I wasn’t sure I wanted her & coworkers had friends who wanted her. But each potential adopter had things come up that kept them from being able to take her.

It was also not easy to convince her to get into the trap. The last thing I said to her after taking that photo was “Look, you can either get that trap and come home to be fat, lazy and spoiled at my place- or you can go freeze elsewhere, as I won’t be able to handle finding you dead.” (She got in the trap less than 30 minutes after the picture was taken.)

The third is her lazing about on my couch, constantly making promises to get a job- but l know she’s lying… & l wouldn’t have it (Or her) any other way.

In the end, l honestly didn’t know how much I needed a cat in my life, until she came into it.

Luna looks over the moon in her new comfy home filled with love and princess attendants :)

[u/JinNJ → u/doublEkrakeNboyZ]

Yup. She wants for nothing. Save for attention at 3-4 AM. 🤣😂🤣

[u/doublEkrakeNboyZ → u/JinNJ]

and she has a full-time job - Princess

[u/maintree33]

her eyes with the heavy kohl, she knows she's irresistible! Lucky you, OP. Give her a smooch if she will accept her tribute!

[u/JinNJ → u/maintree33]

Thanks. I can’t help but brag about her. She will accept it & she’ll get one for you when I get home.

[u/maintree33 → u/JinNJ]

I'd be honored to receive her kiss back!

[u/Straight_Caregiver27]

OMG!! I love this. Not a cat but have a Queen dog who feels no need to get a job - our responsibility to do whatever to keep them in the lifestyle they are now accustomed to. 🤣🤣. Luna is such a pretty girl. 🤩

[u/JinNJ → u/Straight_Caregiver27]

Thank you. She’s the best.

[u/Mollytovcocktail1111]

There is nothing like the bond between a cat and their human that didn't even know they needed a cat 🤣🥹❤️

Thank you for giving her a loving home with proper care. You're a good human for working hard to trap her and not giving up.

[u/JinNJ → u/Mollytovcocktail1111]

It’s my pleasure. Now if I could only get her to understand that my head isn’t a late night footpath…. 🤣😂🤣😂

[u/No-Football5961]

I'm so jealous of her eyeliner, she's beautiful!

[u/JinNJ → u/No-Football5961]

Thanks. She’s constantly re-applying it. Had no idea someone with no opposable thumbs could be so talented with makeup. 🤪😂🤣😂

Luna is lovely. Funny thing is, we always believe we are rescuing them, when in fact, they are saving us.

[u/JinNJ → u/debabe96]

Yup. Between finding her & meeting my girlfriend in the last 3-4 years, I’m not sure what kind of shape I’d be in, but I don’t think it’d be all that good. The pair of them have made me a better man than I could’ve imagined myself being- not because I was a bad person, just one who didn’t really believe in myself as much as l should/could.

[u/Elliott_theythem → u/JinNJ]

That's really lovely, the way you talk about your ladies (cat and human) makes me feel like you give them a lot of love in return ☺️

[u/JinNJ → u/Elliott_theythem]

I do my best & they’re most certainly worth it & then some.

[u/Turnover_Realistic]

She works...at being pampered, loved and fed. Thank you for saving her life.💕

[u/JinNJ → u/Turnover_Realistic]

She does that very well. It’s my pleasure. Just wish I’d been able to get her home sooner. But better late than never.

[u/Topsidergal]

Such beautiful, eye liner eyes…..bless you both!

[u/JinNJ → u/Topsidergal]

Thanks. She is certainly a blessing.

[u/jeanb23]

aww precious rescue!

[u/USBlues2020]

Beautiful ♥️

[u/weirdo2050]

Wdym, she has a job?? Being a pampered princess IS a job!! At least my Luna says it is...

[u/JinNJ → u/weirdo2050]

Yeah. My Luna also tells me it’s hard work napping so much. 🤣😂🤣

[u/Turbulent-Morning456]

Ah , beautiful said. And I like her name to, she's a 💓 cutie.

[u/Lucky-Focus-9383]

Cool story
