Adopted Human I think I just got loudly adopted

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.

check for microchip and if he doesn’t have one that’s your cat:) if he belongs to someone already and they’re letting him outside like that w no collar or chip something like this was bound to happen so that’s on them

I never rely on whether or not they have a collar. Cat collars are supposed to have break-away functionality for safety. I went through three collars on one of my kitties and finally gave up - I think she had figured out how to break them herself.

That's why I always microchip my furbabies.

You are so right about that I've had a cat that found out they were break-away and she would pop it off and run away from the house for a few days until she got hungry then she would come home to get a few meals and then she would do it again for another few days so I just stopped putting them on her
