'I cried in my car and came back to get him': The Sweetest Saddeest-Looking Cat Adopts an Unsuspecting Person Who Could Not Resist Him

Sometimes, a cat adopts you when you don't feel particularly ready for it. It happens. Not all of us go into an adoption center, ready to choose our fluffy little house criminals for life. Some of us - in fact, a lot of us - get chosen by cats at the most random moments in the most random places, when we are certainly not expecting it. Sometimes, cats show up on our front porches. Other times, cats join us during our walks and then never leave. 

That's just how it happens sometimes, and it is our job to embrace it and go with it and accept it. Because everyone knows that once you are chosen, there is no coming back from it. And the person in this thread definitely learned this lesson. Because they left. They left, and the feeling of guilt was so strong that they came right back and adopted the kitty that was waiting for them.
