I think a cat tried to adopt me....

Jul 02, 2013 00:03

It was raining heavily today, and when I went outside, I found a young cat resting on a bench in my yard (one of the few places with cover from the rain. Poor thing was soaked, and extremely tame and sweet. I didn't want to get too close to her or touch her, just in case she had any illnesses of fleas that I could pass on to my cats, but the poor thing really wanted attention. She kept trying to come over to me to rub up against my leg, and when I wouldn't let her, she flopped down on the ground and rolled around a little. Never saw a cat, even a young one, that was that trusting around strangers. She kept marking her scent everywhere, so I think she sees my yard as her territory now.

She stayed in the yard/on the bench for over an hour, and only ran off when I took the garbage out. I kind of hope she comes back.

I'm about 85% sure that she belongs to one of the neighbors. There aren't many stray cats in my neighborhood, so I assume she probably belongs to someone. If she was a stray, I don't know if I could resist attempting to catch and adopt her.
