Employee gets adopted by “stray” cat at work, he discovers the owner is 50+ miles away and forgot about him, so the worker brings the wholesome feline home fur good: ‘I've never known a cat so affectionate and appreciative’

It's a special thing to be adopted by a cat. It often happens when you least expect it, and usually, you have no say in the matter. Once the cat has chosen you, that's it. You are now committed to serving this beautiful, meowjestic creature for the next 15 - 20 years. It's a purrfectly glorious responsibility, and you get lots of cuddles and 5 AM wake-up calls in return. The cat will be the most grateful cat you've ever had. It will love you until the end of time. We think it's just meowgical.

When one feline-loving employee noticed a "stray" cat showing up at his work, he just assumed that it was someone else's cat. But then the cat kept showing up. And then started following him, eventually never leaving his side. He took the cat to the vet, and found out that the cat's owner was over 50 miles away and didn't even realize the cat had escaped. What else is left to do but adopt the cat that already fell in love with you? The full thread is below, so read the whole thing with just one simple scroll. Enjoy!
