Video I’ve slowly been befriending this stray young man who LOVES to yell when he sees me. Apparently also while eating.

Been working on him for about two months! He sleeps outside my house now finally, and eats twice a day, and hopefully will let me touch him eventually

How do you know he's a stray?

in my experience with outdoor cats, most owners let them in for the nighttime.

/r/Catsubs has a nice directory of (nearly) all cat subs on reddit.

r/nowmycat is the counterpart or sequel subreddit to r/notmycat

Sure! I have lots of photos from when I first spotted him too, maybe I’ll do an update later on the whole story

I’m quite impressed that you care this much to actually keep up a routine with this cat. It was domesticated previously, as I’m told a true feral cat doesn’t meow or make any noise.

I’ll be honest it’s a joint effort, he keeps a routine with me too. And I’m afraid of what he might do if I break routine. After all, he’s quite the wordsmith.

I have 4 feral cats that I took care of since kittens. Got them all fixed and have a cat house for them outside and 2 feedings a day. They are the sweetest cats ever and meow. Maybe bc I took care of them since they were little? Love them. They show me more love than my indoor cats lol.

I feed a feral colony and there’s a cat that was born there. He meows a LOT. Comes running when he sees me with meowowowowowos. I’m not sure if the other cats were dumped but they meow too. Maybe he learned it from a previously homed cat? Anyway I love my strays. It is a managed colony and they are all fixed.

Genuinely curious what prompted you to post this. Like... why?

u/bigFnNope Jan 06 '22

What did they say out of curiosity? Always wonder when I see a deleted comment on such a wholesome post.

Smth like '50% of women can't even wait this long, cat must be saving itself for jesus'. Just can't really understand how some ppl's brains come to the conclusion that's a contextually appropriate thing to say.

Thanks. Def stupid and deserving of the dv’s.Yeah, I guess some for some folks they just have zero self awareness… and others just want anarchy
