Ginger, the world's oldest lion, gets reaccepted into a pride led by his sons after being overthrown and living solo for years
Ginger's story isn't just about his age. He was cast out of his pride and lived solo for years, until one day, he approached a pride of lions, led by his sons. He arrived to them nearly blind, his teeth filed down by time, and his face filled with memories of his long life - and yet, they accepted him back into their pride. He did his time and earned their respect, which is one of the hardest things to come by in the animal kingdom.

12-year-old tabby Rupert finds love and peace with chosen neighbors who must decide to take him when they move or leave him at his neglectful home
This purrplexing predicament has all the makings of a modern feline fairy tale. Rupert, a 12-year-old tabby, has unofficially relocated himself next door, ditching his official home full of chaos, screaming kids, and barely-there flea care. His owner, though lovely, is overwhelmed and has long accepted that Rupert prefers the quieter, comfier life with the neighbors and would probably give a paws-up if they asked to take him permanently.

Crafty cat dad makes epic cat-shaped house in honor of his fancy feline; he receives the beautiful blessing of his cat actually using it
Just like all cat parents, we would do anything for our fluffy felines. We buy them the fanciest organic food that money can buy, we make sure our (their) house is full of soft beds for them to lounge in, we make sure their litter boxes are purrfectly immaculate every day…. and yet, there is always someone out there who's beating you at your own game. We thought we did it all for our kitties, and then this cat dad below showed up and put us all to shame.

24 hours after giving this cat for adoption, she falls out the window, is returned broken, gets purrsonally cared for by her rescuer, makes an amazing recovery and gets adopted by the only person that she trusts
We don't think that any cat has come close to capturing the hearts of the people on the internet as Wonton. The conversation about Wonton has gone way beyond a few weeks. For months, ever since Wonton got adopted, injured and returned, people have been talking about her, worried about her, hoping that she will make a full recovery, and, of course, wondering who her adoptive parent will be. And today, finally, that question has been answered.

Person adopts 11-year-old cat which the rescue claimed to be healthy, gets attached to her, only to find out that the cat is sick and is going to be expensive to take care of, and now, they feel helpless
It's expensive to take care of a sick cat, we know, but we do it anyway, because they are ours, and we love them, and we are willing to do anything for them. But when it's a cat that you just adopted, when you weren't prepared for the responsibility, it could be hard. But it doesn't make it any less true - this cat has clearly adopted you, and that means that there is going to be a way to deal with anything that happens.
