'She really seems to prefer us over her owner': Neighbor's cat chooses next-door hoomans as her purrferred home, but with an upcoming move, her temporary pawrents are wondering if they should make it official and adopt her

One sunny day, the neighbor's cat waltzed into this hooman's house, announced her presence with a yell, and made herself right at home, as if she owned the place. With French doors wide open and a cozy garden chaise just begging for a nap, she saw opportunity and seized it like the queen she is.

Since then, she's been more of a live-in guest than a visitor, especially after refusing to cooperate with her official cat sitter while her pawrents were away. Instead of sticking with the sitter and her three fellow housemates, she opted for solo luxury: belly rubs, keyboard lounging, and a calm retreat where she clearly rules the roost.

Now, her favorite hoomans are moving in the spring, and there's a furry dilemma on their hands. They adore her, but they worry she'll be heartbroken without them. Or worse, stuck with new tenants who won't understand the sacred art of the tummy rub. Now they're wondering if they should ask if they can offically adopt her when they move, or just leave her with her original home.

Definitely let the neighbors know their cat’s been enjoying your place. And if you’re open to adopting her, say so! Worst they can say is no, right?

While she’s clearly loving the cozy vibes at your place, she might not be cool with relocating when you move. Definitely something to consider before packing up the scratching post!
