It all started a few months ago when I was alone in the apartment for a few weeks when the air outside was so hot and so still that I wanted to be as still as the air.
I noticed that something orange was running between the kitchen and the living room. My housemate's cat is a big fat grey cat and so I was very surprised to discover a young male orange cat who learned how to sneak into the apartment from the kitchen window.
I didn't really know what to do with him at first so I closed the window to the kitchen and thought that it was over.
A few weeks later he learned how to get in from the bathroom windows which I don't like to keep closed perpetually because that's gross and he came in every now and then.
In the last week he's been spending more time inside the apartment than outside of the apartment.
We've slowly been developing a relationship and he now likes to come and sit next to me or on top of me and get petted. He's very adorable and quite handsome and hasn't really given me any choice in the matter because he has slowly adopted me.
The other cat does not like him, she minds him less when he isn't getting attention, but when he's being pet and cuddled she gets very very jealous. She's going to get special attention for a little while so that she's not too depressed by having to share the cat role.
Overall I think it's good for her, she used to be a very lonely and miserable cat before she discovered that she could sneak out of the windows in the rear of the house. I think that having a companion will be good for her in the long run, make her life less lonely and terrible than it used to be.
I took him to the vet today and he got his rabies and other vaccines and was dewormed. He is going to be neutered next month after all the shots and such are over with.
