“Came for countertop samples, left with an orange cat.”
In January I visited a granite and quartz shop with a coworker who was getting ready to renovate their kitchen. While she looked at samples, the staff asked if I needed any help and I jokingly replied no, I was just making friends with the shop cat. They told me they were actually trying to find a home for her because the owner is allergic and that I could take her if I wanted as it seemed like she liked me (second photo). I’d had to say goodbye to my first boy Bunker in September (last photo) and I wasn’t sure if I was ready yet, so I went home and talked to my fiancé about it. Of course we were back the very next evening and took her home lol (third photo).
Her name is Autumn and her story is vague. The owner’s child had brought her home from school, she may have been a teacher’s cat and she had come from a hoarding situation. They guessed she was between 3 and 5 years old, but the vet we took her to said likely closer to 3. She was already spayed, and some X-rays revealed a wonky rib cage but nothing requiring surgery and she’s in good health otherwise. The vet called her their all-star patient of the day. 🐈
She slept a lot for the first 2 months and mainly kept to herself, but it’s been just over 3 months now and she’s absolutely hilarious. She’s never been fazed by our 2 big dogs, and she often wags her tail like a dog and she will sometimes trick them by rubbing her head on them and purring only to bite them for quite literally no reason and zoom off with her tail puffed up leaving them surprised and confused 😂. lol. She gets the zoomies a lot, snores like a freight train and loves to be brushed and snuggled. Losing my Bunker boy was truly the worst day of my life but Autumn is the most lovable and loving cat I think I’ve ever met and has absolutely been doing her best to heal that hurt. 🧡

I had one, they are rare. The vet had to pull up her tiny tail to check. “She is a girl!” We had Marmalade for 19 years.

We had a cat named Marmalade!! She was rescued from a creek!

Dog owners: their grandmother was owned by a queen. They cost 50 grand.
Cat owners: they were rescued from the garbage: I would k*ll and/or d*e for them.

It’s such a perfect name for an orange girl! Marmalade is a classic for a reason. Glad yours found safety after the creek.

I had a Mr Marmalade. He was a dapper fellow

I had a Marmalade kitty! She was a calico! She came to my friends and I during a blizzard. It was obvious she belonged to someone, and we searched high and low for the owner because she was so sweet and cuddly, how could they not want her back?
Well, when we found them, they didn't want her back. 😕 They had already "replaced her". 😭 So we kept her and she lived a long, happy life with people who could never replace her (my family and I).

I love the Marmalade stories 🧡

I love how a cat shows up and the dogs are always like “cool…we’re friends now”.
Unlikely_Resolution5
They’re never left alone with her unsupervised just in case (cause they’re animals and have natural instincts) but they’ve done so well with her and I’m so proud of all 3 of them. 🥹
Darknessintheend
Totally! I wasn’t implying otherwise!! Our dogs are the same way…it’s just sweet, they look happy ❤️

Autumn is a beautiful orange cat!! The orange cats are a bit quirky. I’m amazed how comfortable she is with your big dogs They look like they have all known each other for years! I do think that your sweet boy Bunker maybe sent Autumn your way! Just saying!! 😂💜

Aww, having a cat get along so great with a couple of such large dogs is such a sweet sight to open the day with. And honestly, seeing them like that together, it makes us think the cat is the one leading this pet bunch herself. She's sure the queen of the house now.

Crying at how comfy she is with your dogs. What a treat.

The staff at the shop said she likes dogs, but I was still relieved that she wasn’t scared of them. They’re big and high energy, so we took them with us to pick her up to see how she’d react to them. When I got in the truck with her, they both sniffed her and our female dog started immediately licking the inside of her ear and Autumn started purring 😂

STOP 😭 I have two cats and no dog but this is my dream situation.
Unlikely_Resolution5
I understand. If she had been too scared of them I was going to try to find a more suitable home for her on behalf of the shop because I obviously wanted the best for her. But I don’t think it could have worked out any better. 🥰

Dear Human -
As the human representative of the CDS, it is my duty to relay to you messages from our Feline Overlords. In your particular case, they wish to offer condolences on the loss of your first placement, as well as apologies that the second placement with you took such a circuitous route.
As you're aware, the Orange variety of our distributables often lack certain cognitive functions, and it appears that this one had contributed to her lost in transit status. We are pleased that she has finally made it to her destination and has already assumed her Queenship over the household.
We appreciate your continued dedication to our distribution processes and our Overlords will be changing the status of this case from Lost In Transit to Care In Progress.

Her Queenship 😂 the comments in this post are bringing me so much laughter and joy today. Thank you so much 🐾

I am sorry for the loss of Bunker - he looks like he was a dapper boy, but am glad you found room in your heart to bring Autumn home! She sounds very orange. 🧡
Unlikely_Resolution5
Thank you 🧡 he was such a dapper gentleman and I will never not miss him. But Autumn is an equally wonderful cat, in her own (orange) way 🐈
Taiga_Kuzco
That's such a precious photo of Bunker. I'd cherish that forever.
Unlikely_Resolution5
I certainly do
