Is this how you get a cat???

So my wife is chatting with the neighbor last week, and he points and asks her "is that your guy's cat?" to which my wife said no, but the little bugger walked right up & rubbed on her leg, lol

I started giving it food on the side yard because it seemed hungry, and is SO DARNED SWEET no way this thing is feral.

So i guess it's ours now? LMAO . I can't let it in, because my senior cat FLIPPED OUT when she saw it at the back door. So, i guess we have a porch cat now

Might be someone else's porch cat? Or are you remote from other neighbors?

Probably a neighbors cat. Lots of animals get scared and lost on the 4th. Maybe he's got a chip in him. A vet will check for free. Some little kid might be missing him.

Shared pussy?

Nah this lil bugger showed up before the 4th. I put an alert out on the RING app which also patches thru Petco.

I’m going with yes

I think some asshole left it behind

Correct, that is how you end up with a cat. Source, that is how we ended up with our cat. General rule of thumb once you've fed it for over a week you are responsible . We left our outside for ~4 weeks until he acclimated enough to grab him for a vet trip. Check to see if they are tagged before investing too much....

Both my wife and I took some time to pick some burrs out of his tail (not sure he's a "he" but we're calling him "he") and he didn't attack either one of us. No collar, no immediate signs of ownership other than very sweet human-friendly demeanor. My wife got him gacked out on some catnip treats today she said a lady & her dog walked right by him & he didn't budge, which leads me to think he's dog or other-pet friendly as well. Someone HAD TO have owned this guy, I hope they respond to my post on RING but I'm just helpin him out until then. He's alert, aware of cars n such, NO WAY he's feral.

I wouldn't even give a shit if he was like all the other feral shitheads who pass thru my yard lol

Looks like he has something to say too! What's his name? Nice choice of TV Tables. I love those darn things. They are so useful.

That's Jonie. She's the best. We dote over her since we lost our boy pup last year, he also was 17 --- and yes his name was Chachi the whole Jonie/Chachi thing was a happy accident, the cat was pre named

Wife scoped the bits. It's a boy

I guess I'll call him "Buddy" for now

Just don't name it... lol!

She a'ight

Update on this guy:

Welp, now it's our task to do the right thing & get him fixed. I'll be calling the local center soon to set an appt (they told us to call on a specific date), in the meantime I guess he's our porch cat, lol

I like "Buster", the wife likes "BB" for "buddy boy".
