It was cold. This stray kitty chose me and napped for half an hour. (i.ibb.co)

That's not a stray cat. That's your cat now. You've been chosen. Conrats.

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 7 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks! Cat distribution system is working.

I kinda wish I had been chosen by a stray, instead I went to a shelter and let one of the cats there choose me so I guess it's close enough.

[-] Manjushri@piefed.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

I've done that. I've gone to rescues and adopted a cat. I've gone to animal controls. I've foster failed. There's no bad way to get chosen by a cat. But yeah, getting chosen by a stray on the street has got to be a really special feeling.

That's also fine! It's a smaller pool but still a cat chooses you.

My last cat I entered the room at the shelter and she instantly jumped on me and climbed me, the cat distribution system knows, I miss her so much

[-] kieron115@startrek.website 1 points 1 week ago

Haha. The precious girl I ended up with bamboozled me a bit. I picked her up at the shelter and she clinged to me and started purring, then when I got her home I found out she can't stand being held. She's a smart one though, I love her.

Did you take him home?

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 4 points 2 weeks ago

I wish but sadly no. This happened far from my home.

This has to be Istanbul. It's a stray in the best possible city in the world to be a stray cat in.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Just saying, we have a cat living in our own house who is not that friendly...

[-] Uri@infosec.pub 4 points 2 weeks ago

My one slaps me everyday

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Ours, you go to pet her and she's like:

[-] Uri@infosec.pub 5 points 2 weeks ago

Take her to your home

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 4 points 2 weeks ago

How did you not take him home!? You were fated to meet him, he chose you! Go back!!!

[-] Amuletta@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

What a little sweetheart. I love tabbies.

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

Tabbies are my favourite too!

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Istanbul?

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 5 points 2 weeks ago

Not this time but close enough, still in Turkey.

[-] Apeman42@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Well, it's not Constantinople.

[-] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

Been a long time gone, Constantinople.

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 5 points 2 weeks ago

Hey now! Why spreading all the Turks business?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I can't say

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

People just liked it better that WAY!

[-] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

What a little sweetie!

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

Omg I'm so jealous!!

[-] li-ke354@thebrainbin.org 1 points 1 week ago

Since it likes you so much, you can adopt it.

His name is Johan. You are his human now. You may call him Joey or “yoyo” or many other familiar terms of endearment (assuming you are familiar with the European soft ‘j’ sound. 🪀)

You must feed him nutritious and delicious meals, give him affection and love and reverence, and do his every bidding. This is the will of our (sectarian cat over-)lord. I wish you a happpy and harmonious life together. I now pronounce you Johan, and “Johan-adjacent, subservient sycophantic lackey”. You may now scoop his litter.
