'[I] owned a cat for two hours': Shy scared cat whose owner is on vacation runs straight to its neighbor in search for comfort and adopts them for the next few hours

Going on a long vacation when you have a cat is always difficult. Leaving your cat alone for a long time, knowing that it's not going to understand why you are gone or when you are coming back, knowing that it might think we abandoned it. We get cat-sitters, we get people to feed them and spend time with them, but we know that it is not the same thing, we know that our cats are unhappy and lonely most of the time. And our worst nightmare, every single time that this happened, would that the cat somehow get desperate enough and try to run away, to escape.

That is what happened in this story. While this cat's owners were on vacation, it ran off. Thankfully, it didn't get too far. Looking for comfort, the kitty ran straight to the neighbor - someone who she knew and trusted, and the neighbor - because thank god there are still good ones out there - took her in with open arms, ready for hugging.
