If we had a purrsonal spot in front of the fireplace, we wouldn't leave either. Feral cats are the ones that deserve the most pampering because they've had life the ruffest. They had to hunt for every meal and would sometimes go hungry. They were never able to sleep soundly for fear of predators from every unknown sound. They never got any medical treatment if they were injured somehow, they just had to survive. Nobody is at their best self when they're simply surviving.

Sometimes, feral cats are the ones that make the biggest transformations. They go from these hard, temperamental, instinctual cats to soft, squishy cuddle bugs. But other times, their life outdoors never fully leaves them. We adopted a cat who had been living on the street, seemingly feral, and she's still nervous of life in general. She's shy around people, doesn't love other cats, and generally likes to be on her own. We don't take it purrsonally, though, she must have had a tough life. Simply seeing her at peace while she sleeps is good enough fur us.

'Him and my dad have been best friends ever since': Former feral cat has front row seat to fireplace after being adopted 8 years ago by parents who insisted they didn't want him
They can resist all they want, but we know that no one can resist the allure of a fluffy feral feline for long.
It's only a matter of time before anyone who says they "don't want" a cat gets one, especially if it's a cute feral boy that's living in your backyard. Mom was allergic, and Dad was just purrfeclty ornery about animals in the house. So, instead of letting the kitty in, he went and built an outdoor cat house for the little guy. Then, during a terrible snowstorm, he went missing. The wife felt pawisitively terrible that they didn't let him inside, and vowed that if he ever showed back up again, they would let him in the house. A few days later, he reappeared, and the rest is history.
The former feral feline went from sleeping on piles of leaves to having a front row seat to the fireplace on his own purrsonal couch. He's attached to his hooman dad at the hip, often seen hugging his arm while they snuggle together on the couch. It's purrfectly heartwarming to see such an ameowzing meowtamorphosis - from feral and fearful to snuggly and safe.
This story isn't unique, but it is purrfectly heartwarming. It's a tale of transformation, understanding that love is worth a little discomfort, and caring for others despite their differences. We wish them years and years of happiness together!
