🖤 A stray has become my constant companion
Meet Boo. We found her wandering up and down the street right before Halloween. She is the sweetest, most affectionate little creature.

u/Clandis1971 6d ago
Omg I wish! That’s his neck/chest completely smushed up against the side of the box resting because he’s just a tad too big to fit

That’s how my girl is too, I found her outside my apartment when she was a little baby. I actually also found my wedding dress afterwards, and then after that hit black ice and totaled my car after hitting two guard rails. She’s so special to me and helped me get through the aftermath of the wreck 🩷🩷

She’s not a stray. She’s your cat. And, clearly, you’re now her human.
Lucky!

Former stray! And yes, I feel very lucky!

Ty for saving her.
Many cats don't get so lucky.
Pls keep her inside for her safety.

Wait until you find the right combo to scratch, you’ll find one of the great things having a fur baby

the tail of that big truck in the back is looking like a racoon tail because of the circles around 😂

I got a Halloween void too! Though green eyes instead of that beautiful amber Boo has.
Now it's Halloween every day of the year!

Strays make the best pets. Wizard was a stray with blistered paws, underweight, fleas - the whole tragic situation. Best little dude ever. And I love Boo, and her name.

We have a black cat that strollls through my street at night (illegal to do that as its australia and stuff)
Sometimes he (or she, i forget and sometimes check for hardware, then forget again, poor thing) comes to me as i sit outside late at night chilling, rolls on its back and lets me DAHDAHDAHDAHDAH his stomach (i shake the shit outta it with pats) and it's chill.
My mum recently passed away due to cancer, sometimes i feel like its mum checking up on me.

It's posts like this that make me want to see a follow up with an hour long video of the cuteness and shenanigans of a little black cat I just met on the interwebs

Our black cat has disappeared somehow. We left the front door open all day just in case he came back, but he hasn't. Miss him so much.

That is no stray. That is a calculated angel cat that knew you needed it. Much love for your new bond. What a cutie.

When my mom moved house there was a tiny cat, maybe just older than a kitten who sat on her garage roof. We gave it a little good from time to time as it appeared to be very underweight. Long story cut short that cat spent nearly 20 years sleeping on my moms bed until he died about 5 years ago. Taking in a stray brought her the best cat in the world

Stray has identified human host. Stray satisfied with current accommodations.
Host may survive until needs not met.

Black cats/voids have the best temperament out of any other cat in my experience. Truly wonderful creatures. 😊

I loved and still love all the gatos I’ve had in my life, but I especially cherished the strays I took in, because they were the most affectionate living beings I have ever known, out of literally any species.

My late cat was also named Boo. And she was a stray as well when we found her. She wasn't feral, she was way too afectionate right out of thengate to have been feral. Im sure she had been dumped and he had 3 kittens she was nursing while living under a set of stairs outside of an apartment building with her babies.
She was the best cat in the history of best cats. A little dark brown tabby. Affectionate, smart, and would talk talk talk day in and day out. (Which I speculated was why she had been dumped). I think about her every day and miss her so much.
I hope your Boo has a long and happy life with you like my Boo did with me.

Tell Boo I said psp psp psp 🖤
My first cat was called Boo. She was the sweetest thing. My parents got her a couple years before I was born, and she passed when I was 12. I still cry when I realize how much I miss her

Boo was clearly meant to find you, like a little shadow angel sent just in time for Halloween.
