i sit down at the park. and this one comes along. and now i am stuck here forever
@jk That's friendship. Cats choose the people they trust and want to interact with.
I've lived with cats for over forty years, and whenever a little kitten would select me, it turned out to have the strongest bond. Cats do indeed select their humans, you just have to give them the time to decide. Works like a charm, they rarely miss.
@jk That does look like a pretty serious case of COL you have there.
Humain·es, humbles mains.
@jk
Cat chooses human
@jk Such a cute little kitten! 
@jk Might be the same cat??!!
What city or country was this in?
@jk I hope you took them home. Someone must have abandoned the cat. (After you see if it has microchip checked)
@LanceJZ she's called artemis and lives nearby. she comes to the park every day, i've been seeing her for years actually. apparently she has a sibling who is more of a stay-at-home cat
@jk
Yeah, I was, too, about to urge you to take them home, but your answer hints that this might be one of those warm climate countries where free roaming cats just are a natural part of city habitat.
I mean I've travelled Mediterranean countries and cats are there _everywhere_. It would be literally impossible to just take home every cat you see.
@LanceJZ
@jk Cat distribution system™️ working as intended
@jk lukachu, being a disney princess of stray cats 😻
View from above of a gold-ish? (It's hard for me to describe the color) cat with striking black tiger-like stripes is curled up on the lap of a pale-skinned person wearing brown corduroy long pants.
The person starts lightly stroking the cat who initially doesn't react but eventually stretches its neck a bit, still completely relaxed.
The camera tilts down to capture the cat's eyes, still closed in blissful relaxation.
@ricardoharvin thanks, i will add this! (i was on my phone where typing alt text is basically broken)
🎵 stray cat on your lap, is such a heavenly way to die 🎵
when the small creature decides *your* lap is the place to transform into an ammonite
@jk what an honor 🫡
@jk a fate much better than death. far better

@jk Don't say it Diogenes.... don't do it. Do not make the comment about the furry feline....
