"Stray" cat visits student's bedroom every night, he feeds the hungry feline and snuggles with them hoping that one day they will stay for good

Some days, feline fam, you choose the cat, and other times, the Cat Distribution system chooses for you. Whether it's by your own hooman hand or the fate of the CDS, you will end up with a cat sooner or later, so you might as well just accept that now. Purrsonally, we have never been visited by the CDS (and we are still waiting patiently for our turn), so we have adopted all of our cats from shelters. However, cats love to be the ones to choose their hoomans, just like in the story below.

Every night, this kitty jumps through this student's window and meows at him constantly for food (sounds furmiliar, right?). They eat together, and then snuggle the night away until he wakes up and finds the feline meowsteriously gone…until the next night. We're not sure if this is a "not my cat" phenomena or if this hungry kitty is a stray, but we can be sure that the student will keep feeding and cuddling them, hoping that one day, he will wake up and the kitty will still be safely snuggled in his arms.

    What should I do? This lil guy's been coming round every night for the last week or so, usually around the same time. Stays the night and the leaves early in the morning. Ground floor flat so it just jumps through the window and welcomes itself in. (Unsure of male or female, any advice on how to find out would be helpful!)

    Comes to my flat every night, desperately hungry and wants to sleep on my bed with me.

    If Affectionate-Rush570 you can, vets, shelters or most Pets at Home can scan for a microchip. If not owned and you're happy with the situation, congratulations on your new cat!

  • This commenter is right - first he should take the cat to get scanned for a microchip. If the sneaky cat is just being greedy, then he knows their relationship stops at just casual friends. But, if they are indeed stray cat, then we suggest he start buying cat food, tuna, and a litter box because he's about to have a brand new cat!

    If keeping, make sure cat is neutered and healthy, up to date with vaccines etc. Pet insurance first is very much your friend!

    Few-Drag9758 Put a collar on it with a note "is this your cat, please callxxxxXCX". Guarantee that cat is milking multiple houses for food because that's what smart cats do.

    xChiken That cat is too big to be "desperately hungry" lol. It's probably figured out that you and multiple other households give it food whenever it comes by.

    In England it's now the law to get pets mircochipped so you should be able to get it scanned. And if you're not able to adopt, surrender to a shelter. Battersea might be the closest option to you.

    Outrageous_Fox_8796 It doesn't look underweight. Take it to a vet, you're in England and most people let their cats outside in England.

  • Is that why we never get visited by the CDS? Because we care about cats too much? Purrhaps we should start playing hard to get, then maybe the cats will come to us more!

    Careful_Contract_806 Looks in good condition. I live in North London too and they're mad about their cats here. Dont assume you can keep it. Ask around the neighbourhood or in local Facebook groups.

    dinglesmcbingles hi! what a cute kitty! :) since they don't have a collar, my best advice would be to take them to a professional and check for a microchip. if there isn't one, you can make the decision from there if you want to keep the kitty.

    whether or not you decide to keep them, you should get them spayed/neutered and get them their shots too. i'm unsure where you're located but some rescues will do it for free/reduced cost if you don't have the funds. :) (a vet

    OR a rescue could also help you determine whether they are male or female.) i would strongly recommend taking them in and giving them love and a good home. it seems like you've done a great job so far and they seem to really trust you. if, for some

    reason, you end up not being able to house/provide for the kitty, your best bet would be to find a cat rescue -- i would not recommend that if you are able to provide for the kitty!! but i understand everyone's circumstances are different. best of luck to you and i hope you get it figured out!!!
