That's not a stray cat. That's your cat now. You've been chosen. Conrats.
Thanks! Cat distribution system is working.
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.
That's also fine! It's a smaller pool but still a cat chooses you.
Did you take him home?
I wish but sadly no. This happened far from my home.
This has to be Istanbul. It's a stray in the best possible city in the world to be a stray cat in.
Istanbul?
Not this time but close enough, still in Turkey.
Well, it's not Constantinople.
Been a long time gone, Constantinople.
Hey now! Why spreading all the Turks business?
I can't say
People just liked it better that WAY!
How did you not take him home!? You were fated to meet him, he chose you! Go back!!!
Just saying, we have a cat living in our own house who is not that friendly...
My one slaps me everyday
Ours, you go to pet her and she's like:
You have to learn cat language.
Oh, we know, and we've tried. Since we've been married, this little one is our 9th cat, and I've never seen or had one so resistant to being touched.
His name is Johan. You are his human now. You may call him Joey or “yoyo” or many other familiar terms of endearment (assuming you are familiar with the European soft ‘j’ sound. 🪀)
You must feed him nutritious and delicious meals, give him affection and love and reverence, and do his every bidding. This is the will of our (sectarian cat over-)lord. I wish you a happpy and harmonious life together. I now pronounce you Johan, and “Johan-adjacent, subservient sycophantic lackey”. You may now scoop his litter.
What a little sweetheart. I love tabbies.
Tabbies are my favourite too!
What a little sweetie!
Omg I'm so jealous!!
very cool face
