    Yes!

    This one said to me “You can’t get away while I’m under the gas pedal.” It was a (confirmed) stray barn cat. The most lovely and patient cat i ever knew.

      I don’t have a cat. I’m always amazed at people who just let theirs roam free about the neighbourhood. I feel like that’s a good way to let your cat get hurt, abducted or worse.

      Just yesterday evening, I was coming back from work on my bike. And there’s this lovely orange cat just walking in the middle of the street. No collar or anything, but looked healthy and well kept as far as I could tell. I’ve seen him around once before in the next street over.

      If I was so inclined, there’s basically nothing stopping me from picking him up and taking him home. That should be somewhat concerning to his actual owners, no?

      One of my cats is still chipped to his previous owner, but I’m sure I’d still get him back, as we’re still friends :) He’s been my cat for almost 10 years now.
