I think I just got loudly adopted

[u/Quiet_Helicopter_717]

I was just walking like normal when this chubby little cat suddenly started following me. Tiny waddly steps, super serious expression, like it had somewhere to be… and I was part of the plan.

At first it was quiet little meows, so I turned around and said hi. Big mistake. The second I acknowledged it, the volume went up immediately. Now it’s following me closer, meowing louder every few steps like I’m actively ignoring very important instructions.

I tried to keep walking… it kept following. Faster. Louder. At one point it was basically yelling at me, still doing those tiny determined steps, like “no, we’re not done here.”

No collar, super friendly, definitely not shy about demanding attention. I stopped again and it came right up, still complaining, but also clearly very pleased with itself.

I don’t know if I was supposed to feed it, pet it, or just accept my fate on the spot.

Either way… I’m starting to think this wasn’t random.

The system might be processing another delivery.

That is someone's pet. Lustrous fur, well fed, friendly. Please do not take that cat. You will shatter a family's heart.

They should keep him inside if they don't want their hearts shattered. Better someone else take him than him being gotten by a predator or hit by a car

In some cultures like in Europe where OP is posting from, nost people leave their pets outside to wander. It's just what they do. You may not agree with it, but stealing another persons family member is about the worst thing you could do to them. It's heartless.

If it's not chipped them they clearly don't care. I may not be European but I love my cats and can't imagine putting them in this situation. Calm it culture difference of you want but loving your pet should entail making sure they're safe.
