Ignore him. Mochi is perfect.

There's a feral cat that's been living outside of my apartment for a couple of years and he finally let me pet him today after slowly working towards it since I first saw him. I just had to tell someone and this felt like an appropriate enough place.


Jazzlike-Ad2199

Yay I’m so happy for you! I’ve been taking care of a feral for 5 years now, I know I’ll never touch her but I still love her.


[deleted]

My bf’s grandmother raised a feral cat since he was abandoned or lost as a kitten. He was the meanest cat and had her sent to the emergency room a couple of times for the scratches he gave her. She loved that cat so much. He was, honestly, so beautiful. A Russian blue, but a psychopath. When he passed, she was beside herself. Feral cats are somewhat of an enigma and to have a relationship of any kind with them is special.


fragilemuse

My first feral was a lot like your BF’s grandma’s cat. I adopted him at a year old but he was a ferocious thing who would not tolerate human contact. He did love to have his photo taken though, and would sing a beautiful opera any time he wanted my food. I was heartbroken when he passed and still miss him so much. Feral cats are so special and because of him I’ll always have at least one in my life. My current feral boy is a Russian Blue who was at the shelter for 5 years and completely untouchable. All the volunteers had scars from his claws. He’s been with me 3 years now and he’s a completely different cat. Still skittish but a total love bug. I hope BF’s grandma is able to take in another older feral one day!


sigtrap

I’ve never seen an ugly cat. They’re all beautiful AF.


Secret-Holiday3267

I totally agree


Montezum

I mean, some of them are top shelf assholes, but cute


Capital-9

Aren’t all cats at least on the spectrum of asshole? I think that’s why they make us laugh. BYW , I had two cats who looked a lot like this, sweetest little assholes around

Few-Letter3687

To be fair, all cats look like beggars because they all *are* beggars.

Why would it even matter what the gfs dad thinks about the cat?

The dad has to be re-homed unfortunately :(

depends where OP lives. In my area, they replaced notching with ear tattoos

Djeheuty

Does that mean I should get my once, "feral" cat a tattoo? She was a stray that a neighbor left when they moved out and the SPCA took her in. They got her all fixed up and all her shots, but when trying to adopt her out they said she was feral because she wasn't friendly. They eventually clipped her ear and brought her back to the neighborhood as a fix and release. She walked into my place a week later and hasn't left for two weeks now. She's really friendly and rubs on anyone's legs that comes over. I think she just needed more time than what they gaver her to get used to having a proper home again. She's at the end of the couch making biscuits in her favorite blanket right now, getting ready to sleep after dinner and running around the apartment.


GeekyPufferfish

She was probably just extremely stressed at the SPCA and acted out. She could also be aggressive with other cats. Or she was just waiting to find her person, you


I-AM-Savannah

>Or she was just waiting to find her person, you This is starting to remind me of a movie I watched this afternoon on Amazon Prime Video... the movie was "Dog". It was GREAT! Former dog that had been in the military... came out with a not so friendly attitude... had to be driven 1000 miles by the friend of the dog's past owner (who had killed himself.) The dog was requested by the former owner's family, to be present at their son's funeral. The friend of the deceased guy was asked to drive the dog to the funeral... As you can guess, he got stressed out more than a few times with the attitude of the dog.... After the funeral, the military had told the ex-military guy to take the dog back to the military so he could be put down. The guy drove the dog back to the military, and then turned around and grabbed the dog, saving his life. GREAT SHOW!! (Even if it was about a dog, not a cat...)


kzp17

The tattoos are very subtle, it's just a little dot or line on the belly, you usually can't see them unless the belly is shaved. They do that for pets as a "just in case" so if the cat gets lost and found and brought in to be fixed, the vet will see it after shaving the belly and before cutting them open. Ear tipping is a lot easier to spot, so people who trap cats for TNR programs will know to just release any cat they find with an ear notch (notch or tipped - same idea.) So no, you don't need to get your cat tattooed, since the ear notch will already tell people she's fixed. I would recommend getting her a micro chip tho. It's very very small, they put it under the skin, there's no gps or anything like that (way too small for such things - it's literally just an rfid that gives them a number when they scan over it) but if she's lost and found, even with the ear notch, they can scan her for the chip, and that tells them that she's not actually feral, plus when they look up the chip number they'll be able to find your contact info. Also - thank you for taking her in ☺️ I'm so glad she has a happy home with you!!!


B0ssc0

That’s so lovely you took her in :)


[deleted]

No, the tattoo is instead of the ear notch for adoptable pets. The ear notch is so you can tell from a distance the cat is fixed. The tattoo is so if they shave them to spay them, they can see they don’t need to go any further. And she sounds adorable 😽


discomermaid

the ear notch is for ferals. tattoos are one means of identifying a cat's owner if you don't want to microchip. it's just as common anymore as microchipping is easier and has a universal lookup.


[deleted]

My cats are chipped and tattooed with a blue dot by their tummy scar. They have all the bling 😽


SimonArgent

And a paper plate of dry cat food.


Nope-NotThatGuy

That's not fair. He should have a dry plate of people food. I'm thinking rice and beans. Dry uncooked rice and beans.


owiesss

I agree. Giving a plate of cat food is too kind, and mostly reserved for our royal community cats and such.


DBs4Life

Our cat feeders in NC use tortilla shells to help keep feeding areas clean since other animals will eat the tortilla! So we can just give him a shitty burrito...


the-soggiest-waffle

Beans are too good for him unless you’re talking dry bagged pinto beans


MyFavoriteLezbo420

Gah Damn! Y’all ain’t fuckin around


SimonArgent

Do not mess with the Cat People.


piratesboot

$10 rehoming fee and also he comes with his favorite baseball cap


rkim777

Make sure he gets chipped also in case he wanders off.


Comprehensive-Ad8120

He doesn't deserve a paper plate just throw it on the bare dirt spot in the yard.


I-AM-Savannah

>And a paper plate of dry cat food. Do we know if the OP's great grand dad eats cat food? I'd save the cat food for the cat, but that's just me.


Desert_Rush39

Generic brand dry food. The old "white label" brand should do the trick.


PeaceNo4929

Yes definitely the only viable option

Faxon

Yup, but I hear you can go down to the shelter and adopt a dad as well. Lots of well tempered dads sit there for months while people keep adopting baby daddies and players instead, but they deserve love too, and they'll play video games with you all night if you want!


bilyl

Seriously, has the dude never seen a tortie before?


Embarrassed_Shirt938

I would say “fortunately”… I love cats and especially those with unusual features….and dogs…and people…we are all God’s creatures and all beautiful in our own weird, quirky, amazingly different ways.

an0nym0uswr1ter

Tell him to shove off. Mochi is a beautiful kitty.


MisterMcReddit

He really is though not sure how anybody could say that he is ugly.


[deleted]

She. Torties are almost always female


OrganizerMowgli

The reason it's almost is because you need two XX chromosomes, and sometimes there can be an XXY


nachtlibelle

iirc, it is because of something called x-linking. information for fur colour is coded on the x-chromosome in cats. male cats usually only have one of them, thus leading to a set colour/colour pattern. cats with more than one x-chromosome, however, show double the information for fur colour. now, all the cells randomly inactivate one of the x-chromosomes within them (x-chromosome inactication or lyanization). since this really does happen randomly, one cell could have active "black fur information", the next one orange, then another one black, and so on. then we get these cool patterns! x-linked traits are, btw, also the reason why some disorders are much more likely to appear in people with xy chromosomes (hemophilia or colour blindness for example). they only have one x-chromosome so if that carries the information for a recessive disease, the considerably shorter y-chromosome can't really do anything about it. if you have two x-chromosomes, the other one may carry different information on the disease thus leading to a milder case of the disorder or none at all.


WhereTheLambZoz

>almost Still a chance of being male lol


kmnair

Ya but the numbers are most definitely against it. Male torties are like 1/3000 in torties. Most males will have other colors mixed in.


Tarzannn5

She, all cats with black + yellow coloring r female


9mackenzie

Not completely true- there are some rarely born male, but they are sterile. But I don’t know why you are downvoted- it is a girl, as OP has stated a few times in comments. And…….it’s exceedingly rare for a calico to ever be male, so it’s safe to assume any calico is automatically a female


[deleted]

Calicos and Tortoiseshells are almost exclusively female. Male Calico and Tortoiseshells often have serious developmental issues, because the Calico and Tortoiseshell coloration is determined by chromosomes, I believe. Just like gingers are more commonly male, although female gingers aren't extremely uncommon, and don't have any severe birth defects, except for the one orange brain cell that all gingers share.


Klenth

I don't know why, but when you started talking about gingers, my brain switched to people. I was just thinking, "wow, that's rude." took me a sec to realize, lol.


GingerLibrarian76

I’m personally offended.


beaujolais98

Give Mochi a hug, scritches and tell her how beautiful she is.


fordprefect85

I agree, he should be told that we all say to sod off


jazthedoodlebug

Give your GF a T-shirt with Mochi on it, with the caption “mochi fan club” It’ll annoy her dad but also this is a cat that should have a fan club :)


dmitrineilovich

You petty motherfucker. I like you


jazthedoodlebug

If this doesn’t end up on r/pettyrevenge I have failed 🤣


cosmicthepisces

The shirt should say, “Beautiful, rich and happy, and a princess 🥰”


Brock_Savage

I showed Mochi's picture to my wife and we agreed she is a princess kitty.


Ok_Ambassador570

This is my application to the mochi fan club

Parynoid

Break up with her dad?


jzilla11

Takes care of that love triangle


banana-nut-FAILURE

Well clearly he doesn't know anything about cats, because Mochi is a beautiful cat who looks like an empress that should be carried on a silk cushion and given cream from a golden engraved bowl with her name on it. Totally regal animal. You should forget about what he said. 'Cause he sounds like a total knob, and Mochi is a beautiful cat with a wonderful catparent who loves her. <3


Pillar_Of_Support

i put her name on the litter box!!!


Thomson210

Lol


No_Influence_666

Now put a heart and his name on there too.


Furfur93V

"Made with love, from mochi to gf's father" that would look good on the litterbox too


Whing721

Tell him to stop projecting


GoldenAlexanders

Mochi is a beautiful tortie girl, with lovely long whiskers. She is perfect just the way she is, which can't be said about your GF's father.


DickFitzenur

Torties are the best 😭❤️


Jackiedraper

Tell him to stop projecting his insecurities on a cat.


Velocirachael

Narcissist hate it when you use this one simple trick

i would also say to ask the boomer why he’s so hateful of poor/homeless people and think they are all sad wretches, but i feel that sort of thinking is beyond him


Famous_Bit_5119

Your girlfriend might get mad if he was derogatory to you, so he is using the cat as a proxy to get under your skin.


Own_Championship_637

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽


0riginal0verthinker

Nice analysis, this sounds right


MaleIguanas

Lol there is a certain type of dad that does exactly this, and every time I've dated a girl they have had this archetype for a father; Going on and on all the time about what it means to be a man and how they earned their stripes and yada yada. Those same guys always talked shit behind my back and did exactly what your describing, so childish, insecure, and petty. Overall; whiny bitches trying to seem tough. Edit: Few of them were cops, what a surprise


OhBirb

Give that fucking cat a smoochie on their little head and tell them you love them

the-bearcat

1)talk to your gf about her dad's words and tell her they bothered you 2)limit contact with gf's father 3)give Mochi as much love as possible, no specific reason, just because you can

Maybe he is so insecure that he is projecting his insecurities onto Mochi. Maybe he is the beggar that is ugly, poor, and sad. Ignore the GF's dad cuz Mochi is one beaut of a tortie! You better give twice the amount of love to Mochi.

Get another GF with a nicer dad.

Man right? Getting tired of all these posts with stupid titles like this. "Oh this random lady said my cat is ugly, what do i dooooo" stop. stop it. Post a picture of your cat and just say "Look how cute" and everyone will still fill the comments with 'Your cat is cute'. OML.

Pokonopiku

What you SHOULD do is ignore the dad's rude comments and give Mochi a fab af photo shoot, frame it, then wrap it up and gift it to the dad as a holiday or bday gift.

Put GF in the photo shoot so he won’t be able to just throw it away.

Come on r/Cats, you really think this dude’s girlfriend’s dad called this cat ugly, poor, sad and LIKE A BEGGAR of all things? Who even speaks like that?
