You can see the level of trust and comfort this sweet stray has in this picture - not only does he let the hooman pet him, but he closes his eyes completely, which is one of the highest signs of a cat's trust that was won.
And this is not the only thing - you can clearly see that the cat doesn't mind being “pushed” into a corner. Not that the person is doing it on purpose, of course, but he is sort of limiting the cat's space on the chair, which “pushes” the cat against the back. Now, cats really dislike being “trapped” like that - they like to always have a route of escape. It's part of their nature, of what evolution gave them across the eons. But this cat? He doesn't even mind. This shows us he trusts this person with his life.
This all makes this NotMyCat situation much sweeter than it would've been - this cat clearly trusts this human 100%, so it's no wonder he's trying to get adopted with all his might.

That's always a good advice when seeking to help a stray cat. You don't have to doxx yourself for it - but giving a general area will help other cat people, who would like nothing more than to help a stray out, get a sense if they can actually do that.

'He's a cute cat, but he offers a problem': Cat owner is adopted by a sweet stray, recieves wholesoem advice and support from the online feline family
Some people don't need to own a cat to prove they're good cat people. Sometimes all it takes is stopping, noticing, and choosing care even when it's inconvenient. We have endless appreciation for humans who do their best for cats despite obstacles - existing pets, health concerns, housing rules, emotional overwhelm, or all of the above at once. Loving cats doesn't always look like opening the door and saying "welcome home". Sometimes it looks like restraint, research, and doing the safest thing, even when your heart is loudly protesting. That kind of care counts just as much.
In this case, the obstacle is a big one: an already beloved resident cat and a clearly unwell newcomer who absolutely did not read the memo about personal boundaries. This stray sweetheart shows up coughing, unneutered, unchipped, but full of confidence - marching toward the door like he's already signed the lease. And yet, even without being allowed inside, he's still fed, sheltered, given water, bedding, and something just as important: care. He's not being ignored or chased off. He's being protected, both from the world and from accidentally hurting another cat. That's real love, even if it's happening from the other side of a door.
And honestly? We're completely obsessed with people like this - and with the online feline family that always rallies around them. Advice, reassurance, shared experiences, emotional backup. It's a global safety net made of cat hair and compassion. A bunch of "crazy cat people" proving, yet again, that when a cat needs help, someone somewhere will step up.
