Lady covers seat with “seat bag” - tray table cannot be opened…

It was late, and I saw a dead cat in the road. I went to get it out of the road and take it to the vet's the next morning so the owner could have closure.
As I went to pick him up, he moved his head slightly and gave out one of the weakest meows I've ever heard. I rushed him home as soon as I could, put him on my bed, and called every vet in the area to find one that was open. I found one and carried him to the car.
He was feather light and had no microchip. The vet determined he was most likely a stray, and an x-ray showed he had two broken legs and a broken rib. Through all of this, he could not stop purring; it was very weak but it was there. The vet said as the bill would be very high and there was no owner, the best thing to do would be to put him to sleep and to leave the room.
I couldn't leave. I decided he needed someone at the end, but then I realized I just couldn't let that happen. I was determined he had an owner who would have been devastated to have seen him like this, and I'd find them. So, with my term's fees for school, I had him fixed. No owner ever answered my ads.
While he was in casts, he was determined to try and follow me, but his legs flung around like paddles on a boat, so he got the nickname Paddlefoot, Pad for short. It stuck. My best friend of nine years now.
If I could say anything, it would be that not all cats die on impact with a car, so please stop if you hit one.

Okay.. this as***le is stressing me out 😆

He’s so food obsessed. Been de wormed, checked at the vet, we got him as a rescue from an old couple moving into a retirement home about 4 months back.

All he wants is food. All day. Everyday. He sits and cries at the food bowl, chases us into the kitchen and cries at our feet for food, we feed him twice a day but I’m sure he’s getting food somewhere else as he’s gained a noticeable amount of weight in the past few weeks.

He’s an indoor/outdoor cat so he’s not restricted or bored (I don’t think?) but he’s so obsessed with food!

I have a big heart for animals and he’s making me feel so guilty 🤦‍♀️ if I have unlimited food in the bowl he literally just eats until he throws up and then wants more food.

It’s genuinely stressing me out at this point having him constantly under my feet meowing, and it’s not pats, he gets plenty of those but will just guide us back to his food bowl a majority of the time when we try to give him attention.

What do I do?! 🤣

She showed up on my doorstep a year ago (pic 3) just skin and bones. I feed her almost every day and she gained healthy weight for the winter (pic 1/2) but now she is back to just bones after the winter (pic 4) She is also in heat and I see her with male cats frequently. Its been a year and she wont let me touch her, but she'll sit next to me while eating. I am moving in a week and am worried about how she'll survive without the daily feeding.

Six months ago, I moved into this small rental after my divorce. The backyard was nothing but broken concrete and dead plants. It looked like a mess, but it was mine.

Every weekend for four months, I poured myself into transforming it. I learned how to lay stepping stones from gardening groups on the Tedooo app, where I also sell handmade quilts to help support myself as a teacher. That wreath hanging on the wall came from a kind crafter on Tedooo who sent extra greenery after I mentioned I was a newly single teacher trying to make a small place feel like home.

I spent every bit of my savings on this backyard. It became my therapy, my source of pride, and a reminder that I could build something beautiful from nothing.

Then yesterday, my landlord came by. He’s raising my rent from $1,800 to $9,000 a month, saying the improvements I made have “elevated the property value.”

I can’t afford that. Not even close. And the idea of walking away from this space that I built with my own hands is heartbreaking. All those weekends, all that money, all those quiet mornings I imagined spent quilting in my garden—it feels like it’s being taken from me.

I don’t know what to do. I just needed to share this with others who understand what it means to create something meaningful, only to face the possibility of losing it.

I'm moving but don't want to leave my friend of 3 years
This handsome fellow is not my cat but i call him Big Guy, others call him Birdie because well he likes to eats birds. I've lived at my apartment for 3 years now & he was here before I moved in. From what my neighbors tell me he's been living on the property for 8+ years and he's never let anyone pet him or come near him, except for me. He's become my best mate. We have a really close bond now, He lives on my patio & patio furniture. He walks with me and my 2 dogs, follows us every where I go, he even meets me at my car when I pull up even if he's far away, he'll come running to meet me & walk with me to my apartment. He comes in every day to nap, eat & get treats and pets from me and plays with my dogs, when it storms out he comes running to my apartment to be let in, fire works going off or when the ground crew comes to cut out grass, he comes running for my place or I go looking for him & will find him hiding in a bush. But normally he's waiting at my patio door. I love this big guy but I'm torn because I'm in the works on buying my first house for my dogs and I and I'm not sure if I should bring him with me, I want too but a part of me says he's made this apartment complex his home after so many years & I shouldn't take him from that. What do I do?
