Neighborhood orange stray goes from "The Street Cat" to Sammy when he chooses a kind-hearted stranger to adopt him: '[He] demands we cuddle in the bed at all times'

Everyone in the neighborhood knows him as "The Street Cat," but he's new to someone special. Someone who was simply in their own garage, but saw this patient orange stray waiting for pets. And before you know it, he's in the home snuggling with his chosen hooman, holding paw and hand, and given a new name. 

You heard it here. The Street Cat hissed at everyone and everything, except his chosen hooman. He waited patiently outside the garage for pets, and then settled comfortably in his room and demanded cuddles all the time. The guy took this orange to the vet, and there was no chip. He finds out from the neighbors that this orange isn't new, he's the decided stray around these parts. The human didn't take no for an answer; he checked missing cat websites and did everything he could to make sure he's definitely without a home. He didn't want to just toss him to a shelter after feeling so chosen, and after bonding with this cuddly orange. He has a cat at home already, but decides to take the orange in. 

His other cat likes to sit on his bed and cuddle, or watch him play video games. It's never easy to feel replaced, but this guy lets his first cat know she's still baby, but that she has a new brother now. The orange and baby are curious, friendly, and non-hostile to each other. An occasional growl or hiss, but other than that they're a-okay. Something incredible about this orange cat is that he has a very distinct and definite love language, and it's physical touch. No matter what they're doing together, little orange Sammy likes to put his paw somewhere on his new owner.
