Adoption My cat escaped and brought home a friend
Last week our cat Smokey (right) escaped through the garage door. I went looking for him and found him with another cat (left). Took my cat back home but the other one followed us and didn't want to leave. He stayed in front of our garage all night so I let him inside in the morning, he was hungry but no fleas, not neutered. Got him scanned for a chip today and he doesn't have one. If we can't find the owner, I guess my cat got himself a cat 😆

Why do they look like they robbed a bank, went for a swim, played around, beat some cops and are looking at you innocently like they didn't do a single thing? I bet they bonded over all this stuff too and that's why your cat thought: "welp, since we already went through so much together, might as well come home with me"

Before reading I was 10000% convinced that left cat was your cat by looking at those confident and innocent eyes…..

Hope you find the owner, but Smokey's got a new buddy if not

Looks well fed and healthy. Maybe put up a few posters around the neighborhood.

"I needed a friend/brother, so I went and picked one out myself. You're welcome" - Smokey

Yupp, haha. Smokey does have a brother already, Bear, but he is a bit older and doesn't want to play as much anymore.

Had the same here back then. One of ours came home with a friend one day. He was just skin and bones and so happy to have found a home. In the end one of the best cats we ever had.

Cats are so good at getting in trouble - if they can do it with a friend that's an added bonus lol

Cat: Bro, you gotta check this place out. They feed me and scoop my shit. It’s legit.
Other Cat: Dope I’m in.

Seems fair. They are both quite handsome.

Right?! I can't imagine this pretty lil guy not having a home but nobody came forward yet and I posted pics all over FB groups and online lost pet places.

Looks like your cat found a partner in crime! Hope they make a dynamic duo.

I cannot stop crying about how he waited outside, which is not so cat-like behavior. Please tell me you're keeping him, he's so special and cute!

u/nadjachase Sep 11 '24
I know, right?! My first thought was that he's an over friendly neighborhood cat but they usually go back home after some snuggles. He stayed right there, running at me when I came back out. Lil guy is safely inside now and I posted his picture on all the places I know of, maybe he is someone's missing pet and they have a good excuse why he's outside, not fixed or chipped 🫤. Unfortunately there are also many cats that get dumped/abandoned in this area. We have to wait a month before we can officially adopt him but he gets along with the whole family so yeah 🤗

Such a wonderful story ❤️ I believe he felt something and waited there for a reason! Maybe he is a soul who found a way back to his family and friends ☺️
If you don't mind me asking, where did you get Smokey from? They kinda look like they might be related, the skull shape, the ears, etc.

As my sister would say, "looks like cat distribution services found you, and allocated another cat to your location." LOL!

That look in Smokey's eyes says "Meowmy, I'm sure you can see the necessity of making my friend here a member of the family. It's patently obvious, yes?"

The gorgeous tux tabby has the look of " I swear I'll be good pleeeeeeeeease " I know I couldn't deny that face 🥰 , tho my 8 current fur babies would definitely disagree🤣

It's only fair. You're allowed to have a cat. HE's allowed to have a cat!
