You might think you’ve chosen the cat or kitten you just adopted. But probably it was the other way around. Tell me this, did the cat stare you right in the eyes before you melted in her paws? Did he rub against his cage as if he wanted to get closer to you as you approached? Did she reach her paw out toward you and mew? When you held her did she cuddle in your arms? Yeah, the cat chose you.
In some cases a cat will appear at your door 
and even hang around when you refuse to feed him until you break down and feed him. My parents have acquired two cats who seemed to appear from the baranca behind their house. First Spooky came and won their heart. My folks agreed that they would not feed the calico because they sure didn’t want a cat. However, Mama caught Daddy sneaking food to her and when Mama was afraid he hadn’t fed her, she would. Yup, Spooky had chosen her people and she stayed with them until her dying day.
Smokey came to them shortly after Spooky left them. There was little hesitation when it came to feeding him. He enjoyed a wonderful life with them for many years.
One summer day several years ago, a large orange cat come to our back door. In fact, he came back again and again, usually in the morning, and we started giving him a handout. One morning he appeared with a post-it note on his head that said, “Don’t feed me. I belong to Tyler.” Good to know that the golden cat had a home—nice to meet a new neighbor in the process.
