    Clipped ear = feral cat that was captured and sterilyzed. But seems super friendly for a feral.

      The cat is very clean, though you’re right.

      might have been an adopted feral?

      If OP wants to take it in, get it to a vet and scan for chips. (they may also a free check up/vaccinations.)

        We think she belongs to the house behind us, so I’m gonna put a collar on her with a note tomorrow and see if we get confirmation.

          This is the way. We had what we suspected was a neighbor’s cat that used to come visit. She didn’t have a collar, so we bought one and attached a little metal keychain pill holder so we could pass notes to them. It was fun and we got to meet a new neighbor.

            Yeah I’m secretly hoping for a fun new game to emerge from this. Idk what the rules are yet, but I’m excited to find out.

              Somebody just invented the next hallmark movie plotline :)

              Though… it does sound like fun. make sure to encode secret messages into portions of the messages. “If you’re reading this you must be very bored” or something.

            It’s actually a breakaway bowtie (for cats). What’s the point in money if you can’t spend it on the neighborhood strays 🤣

      My family also ended up with a clipped ear cat. She came up to us one night, and was friendly, then for the next two weeks she showed up everyday we got home from work. So, now she’s our inside cat, and we all love her, she is so friendly to everyone. Even followed an AC tech around the house trying to get love from him too. One of the best cats I’ve ever had.

    Just think about being that cat. Wander around a neighborhood and see a person on their deck sitting in a chair, go over and lay on their belly.
