As a background story my cat died about two months ago that I had for 18 years. People kept asking me when I was going to get another cat and I'd just say, well if one just wanders up I will, otherwise I'm not ready. I've been in this house for over 23 years and never had a stray cat pop by. This one was outside my front door about a month ago meowing and I opened it and she just walked right in and proceeded to eat a can of cat food in like 20 seconds and then another and after a bit just laid down on the couch and she's never left even though I showed her the door in case she was someone elses. Very weird but just odd the way it occurred.

A few years ago we said no more pets....... too many horrible trips to the vets..... you get into your sixties and want to avoid the sadness!

Shortly after that decision we were an unwitting participant in the "Cat Distribution System" and had this guy move in......

Yep that's my keyboard underneath him!!

I have had cats and dogs all my life but this guy was "special" he trained us totally and completely!! Unfortunately our journey with him was short and I still miss him every day but I wish you love and a long life with your new friend..... make every moment special!!

Funnily enough we now have a wild friend who lives in our shed....... he/she finds the house and sometimes people too scary, who knows maybe one day they will overcome their fear.

Once an animal lover, always an animal lover!

We received a cat via the Cat Distribution System a long time ago that was starving for both food and attention. She’s been the best cat we ever had. I think we have had her for 9 years. She recently became sick and we found out she may have IBD. She seems to be doing better on a special diet and medication, we have our fingers crossed. I’ve had quite a few cats in my life, but she’s really stolen my heart.

Congrats @Veinblood1965 on your new furbaby! I hope you have many happy memories together!

Go to the New Discussion dropdown, choose New Poll. Be sure it's set up the way you want before saving, because you cannot edit it later.

No - not as far as I am aware. This forum software has some serious limitations. When you make the new thread for the poll, put a link to this thread at the top, so those who maybe haven't read this post will have a clue what's going on!

Hello Ember!!! Such a cutie!

Just watch out for the occasionally enchanted spoon

tohopka_eso · October 26

awww....probably too late maybe for a future member. There was a name I was trying to remember and finally did the quest again with Mizzik Thunderboots the investigator.

always found Mizzik to be a fun name.

LanteanPegasus · October 26

This has been the best topic in this forum for a long time.

So: Thank you for allowing us in on your adventure with your new "companion". Thank you for giving Ember a loving home. And thank you for bringing some fun and positive engagement to a forum that is far too bogged down by downsides most of the time.

And all the best for you and beautiful Ember! (That black/white nose and dark/light upper lips are amazing!)

Thank you!

She's not too happy with me right now however. She got fixed Thursday and has had to stay inside the house for a few days. She seemed back to her happy self though this morning before I left for work.

Now that we have a real life ESO named cat, we now need a cat in ESO that looks like her haha!

She looks a lot like Ember, down to the yellowish eyes.

And congratulations on your adoption!

Agree, also the white patch down over the nose is Ember. You can not make an Ember lookalike as I know as that white nose is not an option.

Had one stray, she came to my back door beaten up, Iet her in, some water and food as in leftovers and stuff.
She slept on my stomach that evening. Next day I bought some cat food and an cat toilet who she know how do use.
Had her for 7 years moved apartment and she ran away never to be seen again

In the spirit of everyone being so helpful tomorrow I will add a poll with the finalists and the name with the most votes will be her name forevermore!

In that case Khajiit McKhajiit face.

LOL! That was going to be my suggestion, too!

AlienSlof · October 29

She's very pretty - and clever! She knew just which doorstep to turn up on. May she have many long happy years with you, in comfort and cuddles!

My thought to the white stripe between the eyes is Ember.
Note you can not make an khajiit with that fur in the caracter creator, closest is much darker stripe.

That's sad, very sorry I'm sure that was upsetting. Sounds exactly like this one, just showed up and stayed.

Just an update on Ember. Was playing in Cryodill last night and went running by some wolves. They did their usual howl and Ember jumped up from my lap and started looking around with her eyes wide lol. Thought I would share as it was pretty darn funny especially since she is named after a game companion.
