BACKSTORY: On Sunday, Mom and I had gone to see Avatar -- which was a good movie btw, but that's not the point. On the way back, she pulled over near my school to feed a few cat colonies. I got out at the last one, since 1. it had a decent amount of pavement, and 2. the cats seemed a little more sociable. Sure enough, when I walked over, some of the cats came over and started rubbing on me. Most of them stopped when Mom brought the food over, but one stayed. Even got right into my lap.
Now, Mom had actually been planning to take a cat from this colony for a while. So when she saw how taken this cat was with me, we decided to try to get this cat in the car. Which... took about ten minutes of coaxing, but we eventually managed to get him in without him freaking out. We took him home, and aside from a little mishap at first (we didn't have a litterbox ready for him, since, you know, we weren't exactly expecting to come home with a cat. so he peed on my bed) he's settled in quite nicely.
Say hi to Jake, guys. :>
