Friendly feline follows dog lover and pupper home, the caring canine won't take no for an answer when it comes to adopting this stray into their fuzzy family
Cats have an uncanny way of just showing up uninvited and making wherever they go their home. We don't know any other animal that has such a high success rate of convincing people to take care of them. They just show up one day, act all cute and loving, and all of a sudden, you're buying them expensive wet food and treating them like a tiny member of fuzzy royalty. And it doesn't always have to be them insisting, they have a hissterical knack for getting your other pets to fall in love with them as well.

An injured orange cat named Nemo found shelter and safety at a construction site and gained a safe, happy home with a new furmily
Sometimes the right door opens at exactly the right moment. This little guy found his way into a construction house, worn out from a long stretch outside and clearly running out of options. With an old injury that had fused one of his hind legs and an empty belly, he wasn't just looking for shelter, he was looking for help. Somehow, he picked the perfect place.

Woman rescues overly fluffy white stray, then the next day, she ends up with a stash of secret silky kittens she never saw coming
Saving a cat in need is always a good thing to do. You're changing that cat's life fur good - you're taking it from a life of uncertainty and fear to a life of comfort and cuddles. But you can never be truly sure of a stray's history, or what you're really getting yourself into when you take them into your home. They might be shy and fearful for life, or they might be purrfectly friendly from the get-go. Or, they might be secretly pregnant and give birth the very next day.

Lonely Grandpa seeks a companion and asks for the cat that has been in the shelter the longest, then takes home a sweet orange cat 20 minutes later
Right now, while we are all young and surrounded by our friends and family, we don't really feel that alone. We see people when we go to work, we meet with friends, and we have family members to talk to. However, the older we get, the smaller these circles become. When you retire, you don't get to see your coworkers anymore, and your family drifts apart as they themselves grow up and start families of their own.

Pregnant stray cat barges into man's house, climbs into his lap like she owns the place, and makes it clear she’s chosen him
When a cat chooses you, you simply have to accept your fate. It really is that simple. And you don't have to wonder. Walking into a shelter to adopt a cat, you may think that you are making a choice by taking the cat that you do. You might still harbor that illusion. That is in that situation. Oftentimes, it's much clearer and simpler. A cat will come up to you at 2am and adopt you, following you home and not leaving you alone. A cat may run in front of your car, stopping you in your tracks, and refuse to leave without you. A cat might fly into your window and fall straight into your lap, and you will have no choice but to go to a pet store and start buying supplies.

Bonded black cat duo decides on their human, stages multiple break-in attempts, and eventually wins, getting adopted into their purrfect furrever home
Everyone knows cats are cunning and mischievous, but we did not know they could commit B&Es. Although we should have. It's just that cats don't normally need to do that. At least not our cats. Our cats are already at home. They don't need to break in. They find their fun in locking us out of places rather than locking themselves in. Cats lock us out of our bathrooms, and then have conferences in there or something. Cats lock us out on our balconies, without any way of getting back in, and probably laugh at us. Our cats commit crimes. Always. But generally… they work along.
