'The cat distribution system has chosen me but I can't accept': A friendly neighborhood cat keeps showing up, but with her own cats inside, this pawrent is figuring out how to show love without opening the door

One woman has become the reluctant Chosen One in a tale that could only be written by the mysterious forces of the Cat Distribution System. Since 2017, her neighbor's cat had been nothing more than a friendly passerby, dropping by for the occasional purr and polite head bump. But lately? This floofy visitor has gone full-time garden gremlin. For the past few months, he's been clocking in daily, rain or shine, eagerly waiting for his human-in-denial to step outside for a smoke or trash run.

Every interaction is pure feline devotion: purring, biscuit-making, tail-up sprints, and heart-melting meows at the door. The only problem? She already has two ragdolls with health issues and strict indoor-only lives. Bringing the visitor inside isn't an option, and her cats are throwing hissy fits every time she returns smelling like a love triangle.

She doesn't feed him, but clearly, the emotional buffet is open 24/7. What's a human to do when the Cat Distribution System picks them but they can't officially adopt? Maybe a little outdoor love with no strings attached is all part of the grand feline plan.
