So, there’s this cat in my alley who looked at me like I owed him rent. I started leaving out tuna, and suddenly I had a new shadow. At first, he’d bolt if I even blinked, but after a week of pretending I didn’t care, he started inching closer. Pro tip: Don’t make eye contact. Cats see that as a challenge. I just scrolled on my phone and let him vibe. Eventually, he ate from my hand (felt like winning the lottery). I didn’t try to pet him right away—trust issues, you know? But after a few more snack bribes, he let me scratch his head. Now he’s sleeping on my couch like he pays the bills. If you spot a stray, patience and snacks are your best weapons. And maybe a vet visit, because street life is rough. Turns out, sometimes you don’t choose the cat—the cat chooses you. #StrayCat #PetAdoption #CatRescue #Pets #Cats
