i have 4 cats. 2 are from me and my gf having a cat each before we dated, then i had one that was neglected by my neighbors that i stole(he showed up bleeding from his chest once and i saved him from a fight once. my other neighbors who werent the owners were letting it eat dog food so i started feeding him.) and the 4th showed up at our new house, i gave it some treats and it basically never left.
ive given many cats treats when theyve come to my house, but they usually go back to where they were regularly fed. if they dont leave, they clearly werent getting regular care. plus im a sucker.
We almost "adopted" a neighborhood cat we named Tabby because she was a calico(or the other way around, I forget now) becuse she showed up and i ded her dome tuna and she never left. We were gonna pick her up if she wasn't claimed when we moved but another neighbor was also feeding her and had the same idea.
We have 2 now though. Once is a shelter adoption and the other was from a litter through some people we know. The shelter one is my bestie but the litter one is a little shit. He chews all our stuff but also hangs out with me when I'm working on code so he's not so bad. Just had to learn how to cat-proof a bunch of stuff. He still finds Legos or wires though.
