That looks exactly like your cat.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 46 points 5 days ago

Congratulations! You've won! 🥂 Enjoy your new cat.

You have been targeted. Resistance is futile. Surrender your bed pillows, cereal boxes, and independence.

[-] eurodyne@piefed.world 31 points 5 days ago

You have been adopted by a new cat

[-] Nonprophet@lemmy.world 29 points 5 days ago

The cat is saying, 'You belong to me now. You're welcome.'

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 16 points 5 days ago

She's so thin! Needs food and a vet visit. Probably has belonged to a person if she lets you pet her, so have the vet check if she has a chip.

Yes definitely, feral cats in my experience won't let you pet them. I was in a city with dozens in every alley. I tried to seduce one over multiple times, even with food. They wouldn't let you pet them, and I wouldn't want to try with those shifty eyed devils without a clear assent from the cat.

That cat may have been wild for a bit, but definitely lived with people before.

90% of ferals don't want you to touch them but might rub against your leg as long as don't make sudden movements.

That last 10% though is weird. I had a female in the colony i managed who was afraid of humans until we trapped her and got her fixed and vaccinated. Then she became lovey-dovey with humans and would climb in our lap. Still didn't want to be picked up or taken inside though.

Three of my current cats were ferals. One fully self domesticated (which is good because lil dude has a VSD). the other two pretty much only trust me but I can pick them up and occasionally pet them if they are in the mood

I spent months sitting outside in the cold for hours after dark, vibing with my feral. Eventually she would sit in my lap, and didn’t want me to go inside. Like, she’d plant herself and growl if I tried to get up. A few more months of that and she finally came indoors. My frozen butt was happy.

Human, you are being rescued... uh adopted. Please.do not resist

[-] Sergio@piefed.social 13 points 5 days ago

Obviously the cat trusts you, and needs something from you. By posting cat's photo on the fediverse, you are responsible for figuring out what the cat needs. We are all witness!

Cat distribution system working as intended.

[-] TheWilliamist@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

It looks under nourished, one of our adoptions had little undercoat until we got some food in her regularly.

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 5 days ago

A cat figured out how to use my doggy door about a year ago.

Now I have a cat.

What a beautiful baby.

[-] daychilde@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

It's only a small step from #notmycat to #catdistributionsystem :)

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

Not adopting that cat and making it your whole personality is, understandable, but suboptimal.

She’s just plotting to murder you, don’t worry.

[-] polysexualstick@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Most LaFee (or Avril Lavigne) looking cat ever

[-] unknown@piefed.social 2 points 5 days ago

Missing back leg or weird angle?

[-] regdog@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Since OP does not mention a missing leg that is probably not the case.

[-] somebody_to_love@lemmy.today 1 points 5 days ago

Great opportunity to dispose of a cat which you can pet regularly
