That's not a stray cat. That's your cat now. You've been chosen. Conrats.
Thanks! Cat distribution system is working.
Did you take him home?
I wish but sadly no. This happened far from my home.
That poor cat is gonna have to hitchhike so far just to get to your front door now!
Heh, made me smile. Thank you. :3
I kinda wish I had been chosen by a stray, instead I went to a shelter and let one of the cats there choose me so I guess it's close enough.
I've done that. I've gone to rescues and adopted a cat. I've gone to animal controls. I've foster failed. There's no bad way to get chosen by a cat. But yeah, getting chosen by a stray on the street has got to be a really special feeling.
My last cat I entered the room at the shelter and she instantly jumped on me and climbed me, the cat distribution system knows, I miss her so much
Haha. The precious girl I ended up with bamboozled me a bit. I picked her up at the shelter and she clinged to me and started purring, then when I got her home I found out she can't stand being held. She's a smart one though, I love her.
That's also fine! It's a smaller pool but still a cat chooses you.
This has to be Istanbul. It's a stray in the best possible city in the world to be a stray cat in.
