Got adopted by a kitty. Stray that tried to adopt my parents. Could tell he had been outside for a while, kinda dirty, hungry and a bit dehydrated, but came right up to me and wanted some attention. Pet him a little and he started purring. Picked him up and he settled into my arms like he belonged there. Was kinda odd... never had a strange cat do something like that. Neighborhood saw me with him and a bunch of people came out and told me I really should take him home... I figured he has to have an owner... right? Every person told me they were sure he didn't and urged me to take him. That was even more odd. Put him down and went him my parents attend whatever function was going on, can't remember what. At the end of the day I told people I would take him home if he was still hanging around. He wasn't. Next day my mom called and said he was still around, that he slept outside their house, which wasn't the first time she says. She doesn't want to take care of him. I go pick him up. He met me outside again. I picked him up and again he settled into my arms and purred like there was no other place he wanted to be. Took him inside, held him while I talked to my parents. In less than 5 minutes he lays his head down on my arm and closes his eyes, still purring.
Had him a little while now, couple weeks. He has filled out a bit, he must have been more malnourished than thought. He is fearless. More so than I've ever seen any cat be. Hardly minded the car ride, until the very end, but it was almost a 30 min ride. Never really seemed afraid of Somber, even though she certainly made it clear she wasn't a fan. Even when we've had loud people over, he doesn't care.
On a related note, Somber died. Looks like she just fell asleep outside and never woke up. She didn't come in when Asriel went to bed, which has never happened before. He found her the next day. I buried her later when I came home. |
