We got my late cat in the same fashion. He was the most angelic stray to ever exist. He was such an old and sweet cat that somebody had abandoned. He wouldn't have made it through the winter so we took him in. We had him for 3 years before we had to put him down due to kidney failure.There is A nice cat that lives a few streets away from me.
When we go bike riding we make it a point to stop and pet it.
He just purrs and rubs up against your leg. Too cute.
I wouldn't mind taking him home but my dogs would throw a fit.
