'I gave him some chicken hoping he would leave soon': Orange kitten hops into a person's car and refuses to leave, the person feeds the hungry cat, thinking it's just hungry, but it backfires, and now, they're adopted

Show a cat kindness once, and it will remember it forever.

We warn people about this all the time. Cats remember things. Cats can tell who is kind and who is not. At the end of the day, it is a known fact that cats domesticated themselves, and there is a reason for it. It's much easier to be spoiled and loved in a warm home with servants than it is to fight for every morsel of food out in the wild. And every day, even today, cats choose to give up the outdoor life, that it is too much for them. Cats choose to adopt humans for themselves.

You never know when or where it will happen, but the second that it does - the second that a cat chooses you - there is no going back from it. It will be the most regular day in the world, and out of nowhere, your life will completely change and will be, from then on, full of shenanigans, meowing and midnight zoomies. And it will be the best thing that has ever happened to you. You might not believe it in the moment, when your life is turning upside down, but you'll see it eventually.

Oh, a rookie mistake. You never give food to a cat when you want them to leave you alone. That is basically the worst thing that you can do. This is most likely why cats domesticated themselves. It is so much easier to be fed by strange giants than it is to run around outside, fighting for every stray piece of food. The second that you gave this kitty chicken was also the second that you sealed the deal. You have a cat now. The cat has chosen you. And you know what? Just like the rest of us… Maybe this happening took you by surprise in the moment, but in the long run, you will look back on this moment as one of the best moments of your life.

Truly a rookie mistake. You would think that eventually people would start listening to us. We say it all the time. All it takes is one act of kindness, and a cat will never forget you ever again. Chicken was a big one. Sometimes, all it takes is a little petting, but giving the cat chicken was basically like giving him a key to your front door. He will demand chicken until the end of his days now, and you will have no choice but to comply with his demands. And be very happy about it.
