Stray cats are often scrawny, underfed, and crazed for just the smolest taste of delicious tuna. 

But once they find their place in their furever homes, stray cats have a way of indulging in little luxuries, begging for a second breakfast, a little treat, or even a bite of the hooman's pizza. The gluttony of feline prowess knows no bounds, especially after a kitty has lived on the streets, knowing nothing but hunger and desire for many moons.

  • Never forget that cats are intelligent creatures and have found ways to slake their search for food in the streets by befriending as many hooman households as possible. Known as ‘cats with 4 names,’ these are the types of stray kitties that want for nothing. They roam the streets, stopping at their daily stomping grounds to reap the rewards of unwitting humans who leave out a bowl of kibs for their favorite feline, not realizing that they're their 10th stop of the day. 

    Sometimes, though, these clever street cats find a home worth staying in—a home that makes their craving for more food feel like the last thing in the world that matters, because love will always be in surplus at their furever stay.

  • Fluffy_Muffins_415 Check around and see if anyone is missing a cat! pugsandcorgis OP My mum lives in a gated community, so if someone was missing a cat, she'd probably hear about it. But cat isnt chipped and is looking pretty dirty so we're leaning towards a genuine stray, we'll keep an eye out still :)

  • NoOccasion4759 A fat stray, though? Either she is super good at begging or surely she was kept pugsandcorgis OP Chipless, collarless, kinda grimy, and no one's come looking (so far). She's good at survival it seems, but a part of me does hope my mum isn't the seventh household she's scamming for food...

  • jax2love Some cats are very skilled at having multiple homes, though this is more common where people are more likely to have indoor-outdoor cats. We always called them "cats with four names". _delicja_ Cats with four names is spot on!

  • ObviousToe1636 That's how I got this girl in 2022! Well, she didn't sneak in. She walked in boldly, sat down, and never left. And now I wouldn't want to live without her.
