This was from a few years ago, as he's since unfortunately had to have his vampire teef pulled due to infection and some type of disease where his immune system attacks his gums
But, they were the longest I've ever seen on a cat and was curious if this is perhaps common among the neb breed
Truth is we dont REALLY know if he was a nebelung. I know everyone thinks thier cat is some special breed, but good lord look at him. The similarities.
I feel like my cat is only ever saying one of a few things: I’m hungry/thirsty, I’m bored, I need help, I don’t want that, clean this. Whenever I can’t figure out which one it is, I feel like I’m talking to Lassie. Do your cats have specific meows for other things?
He had a stroke from cardio myopathy and just...went downhill from there. He was in so much pain cause his peridontal disease had progressed so far. We couldnt even give him his heart med.
No worries, no birds were harmed in the taking of this photo
We picked Mishka up nearly 9 years ago. She hasn't disappointed being neb...and yes, she is trying VERY hard to eat a baseball bat. Nobody's perfect.
I’ve had cats all my life. Basil is unlike any cat I’ve ever met. The most vocal, the most expressive, the most boundaries set…she’s literally just THE MOST. But she is my everything.
I took her almost 2 years to grow into her massive ears and feet. She’s about 12 pounds all fluff and she’s a longgggg girlll. She loves going outside in her catio to watch birds. And she loves to snuggle in the winter ONLY to use us as body heat. One time she almost died from an accidental ketamine overdose at the vet…from a dental cleaning…🥴(that’s a whole other story).
But here she is 8 years later and probably the happiest she’s ever been. She has learned to high five for treats and growl at the doorbell. She also might just love my partner more than me and I’ll never forgive either of them for that.
Even though she hisses at every new stranger; somehow before they leave she’s won them over. She’s traveled by car, uber, and train. She’s moved with me 5 times in the last 8 years. Shes adapted poorly and adapted amazingly. I give her all the support she needs and more because it’s her world and I’m living in it. I could write a novel on how this cat has changed my life in every way. But I’ll leave it here. Happy 8th Birthday Basil. My hope is to spend so many more with you.

14 days ago I got my sixth lower back-surgery in 3 years. Each time for the same herniated disc, that made me incapable of anything really. This time they removed the disc and fixated a couple of vertebraes.
So I take tiny walks during the day.
This time I came inside after a walk and were met with this... The look of Fix who were not allowed to go outside with me and guard me, who did not get second lunch instead, and who is not getting pets because I still can't bend down and pet him.
The betrayal is real!
Mr Wilson in our willow trees today! He’s a diva in case you couldn’t tell! He’s almost 6 yrs old! We adore our nebelung baby!
That side eye is 100% warranted. I was outside with my other cat earlier today and my neighbor asks, “where’s the fat gray one?” Madam how dare you! Also, he’s in the back yard. Love my little fat man.
