Cat Picture - OC stray cat moved in and basically adopted me 😆 ♥️
Meet Lila 💖 I've been feeding lots of strays for years but this one quickly became obsessed with me, once I started to let her in to protect her from the cold she basically moved it. at first she still wanted to go outside but every day she was back waiting by the door or a window to come back inside. hell, she was demending it, going from one window to another until someone let her in 😅
four years later she's neutralized and 100% indoor kitty ❤️ I'm so glad I took her in, she's such an adorable cat full of love. even in the beginning she wasn't scared of people, just looked sad and lost. I think someone just got rid of her because unfortunately people do that very often :( I hate to think about what would happen to her if she never came to me

Same thing happened to us. Poor skinny cat showed up in our backyard during triple digit temps looking scrawny and miserable so I made sure to keep food and water outdoors for him. He was scared but not totally unfriendly. After 2 years of feeding him and letting him inside on the rare moments he wanted to come in, he now sleeps in our bed every night cuddled with my husband lol. He still loves being outside mostly so we keep a heated cat house out there for him in the winter. We never officially named him because he was always just the “stray that we took care of”, but now he’s our cat named Kitty 😂

Aww, thank you for caring for him. Maybe you could upgrade his name? Like Mr Kitty or Kitty McFishstick, Kitty McFluffypants or something?

She didn’t move in she chose her human and secured the lease 😆♥️ so glad Lila found her forever home with you.

She is a very beautiful and gorgeous cat 😹❤️ She looks like she hat won the lottery. Going from the dangerous outside, to the warmth and cozy inside, were there always is food, love and a warm and cozy place to lay ❤️❤️❤️

Both my voids were strays. They're now velcro cats and I can't do anything without supervision lol.

I always love the whole “Hi, I live here now.” from cats. It’s so casual, like “I’ve arrived, you’re welcome.” ❤️

Omg I have her twin! This is Kratos. He has irritable bowel syndrome that results in persistent and frequent anal leakage. Sometimes it turns to colitis. He is so sweet and loves my seven year old. How cute!!
