Previous homeowners abandon 13-year-old cat, leaving a manual for the next residents, the scared kitty disappears but comes back a year later and is welcomed with love

Stray cats confuse us sometimes. On the one hand, their home is outside, in the world, with their friends and enemies and strange hangout spots. On the other hand, these stray cats walk into our homes like- all the time. And in that case… are they our cats? Or not? We feed these stray cats, we pet them, we let them in to cuddle on our couches and beds. And if we leave, when we move, is it our duty to take them, or is us leaving without the cats equal to us abandoning the cats?

It's a fine line, and we're sure that it's a difficult decision to make every time that it happens. And in a way, we even have sympathy for people who have to go through making that decision. But we have more sympathy for the cats. And if this is a cat that you know well enough to make a manual on how to treat them, then maybe… just maybe, you should not leave them for the next residents to handle, because you don't know who the next residents will be or if they will even care.

On the one hand, there is some part of us that appreciates the manual. These people have done, or attempted to do, much more than many others who have carelessly abandoned cats before them. And on the other… we still think this could have been handled differently - better, avoiding the year that this kitty has spent alone in the wild.

This little one is so beautiful, it is clear on her face that she was meant to be adopted and loved on. And despite everything that she has gone through before, we can only be thankful that now, she is where is was always meant to be.
