I live on a sailboat and just about any place I go I seem to get friendly with the local strays...feed them give them rubbin...want a cat? Leave a can of food outside, the local representative of the kitty union will be along shortly...

I tried to find a funny picture of a hobo kitty but this one grabbed my heartstrings...so sad

“want a cat? Leave a can of food outside, the local representative of the kitty union will be along shortly...”

So true! This is basically how the missus and I acquired our second kitteh, a tortoiseshell stray we named Patch who’s probably lived in our neighborhood longer than we have. She’s probably the most affectionate cat I’ve ever seen.

Apple, our first cat, came from San Jose Animal Care. It was not a hard decision to take her; as soon as the shelter worker handed her to my wife she gave her a head bonk. We had the good fortune of finding a coupon on their website that would allow us to adopt any cat for $10 (normally a young adult cat such as Apple would be placed for $60), and it’s hard to find better entertainment for that price. :)
