'He's a menace, and the most perfect cat in the world': Fierce gray kitten who wants to be adopted chooses a human, ambushes them, and screams himself straight into a furever home

The ability that cats have to get adopted by anyone that they want is literally something that will never stop impressing us. Seriously. It's just a matter of making a decision. Cats simply have to decide that they don't feel like being strays anymore, that they don't want to hunt for food or constantly look for shelter, that it's time to get pampered until the end of their days, and boom, just like that, cats get adopted. 

It really is that simple, and it can happen to us humans at any time in any place. You can get adopted during a picnic, or you can get adopted during a walk with your dogs, or, as this man found out, the kitten can walk right up to your home, get up onto your driveway, and adopt you. How does that happen, you may ask? Well, it's different with every cat, of course. But this one chose the method of "screaming until I'm picked up, then purring to show that I like being picked up and would like to be picked up often throughout my life - by you." And boom. Just like that, it worked.
