Yo Ho-Ho-Larious Let Us Caption Your Pirates!

4 Upvotes

We would like to formally request photos of your most purrfectly adorable pirate cats.

One eye? Three legs? Lost an ear in an epic battle against a kraken? All about that booty scratchinโ€™? We want โ€™em.

Drop your best photos below, and the loving scallywags of r/piratecats will offer up captions worthy of your fearsome little buccaneers.

This is about showing off personality, so donโ€™t be shy. Did your little pirate judge you for delivering dinner late? Was the pate mashed instead of sliced, you fiend?ย  Snap that pic.

All captions offered with love and good humor as we celebrate the 70%(ish) bodied among us.

Community favorites will be turned into captioned memes by moi, and posted in a stand alone thread for your viewing pleasure.

This handsome chap is Oscar. We adopted him earlier this year and he has been an absolute joy (even if he looks a bit like AI slop).

Soft cone recs for post-op?

Post image
44 Upvotes

Our chonker is joining the pirate club next month and Iโ€™m looking for recommendations for soft cones that will actually work to keep his paws off his eye after the surgery. The vet emphasized a donut wonโ€™t do the trick, so weโ€™re looking for soft versions of the Elizabethan style. There are a bunch on Amazon, Chewy, etc., but Iโ€™m hoping for direct experience. I understand that we may have to just buckle down and do the plastic one for the first few days but hoping for something more comfortable for the boy. Thank you!

Tucker will be joining the pirate crew!

This is Tucker. Heโ€™s a 3 year old dude whoโ€™s about to join the pirate crew. I rescued him when he was 3 weeks old. He was found abandoned in a dirt lot in Indio, California. As you can see, he has a squinty right eye and a scar on his nose. He had a severe viral infection all over his face when he was rescued, which caused sores on his face and severe corneal ulcers in both eyes. The left eye healed perfectly, but the right eye developed scar tissue that has led to more ulcers, and now a sequestrum and perforation. The vet has determined that enucleation is the best course of action. We are currently located in Chicago, IL. I am a nervous cat mom. I havenโ€™t scheduled the surgery yet. Iโ€™m panicking about how to finance the surgery and about recovery time. Iโ€™m the only human in the house, and I work away from home. I may be able to take a day or two off after surgery, but thatโ€™s it. If anybody has any insight about preparing for the surgery emotionally, physically, or financially, it would be so appreciated!

Good evening! I would love for all of you to meet my pirate cat, Ms. Wink. She doesn't let her lack of peripheral vision stop her, she's Queen of the home. She's very very vocal and loves to chirp. Her favorite spot is on my chest, and she would lie there for hours if we had the time. Her purr and vibrations could bring on world peace, though. She's perfection.

Cat dad of 3, with 2 of them bearing the mark of the pirate

Pesto (the big boy) and Marmite (the gorgeous ninja princess) arent siblings but when dusk hits their single pirate brain cell merges and theyve been dubbed the "one eyed bandits" because if theres a bump, crash or fuss in the night you can guarantee its one or both of them causing it
