Erin Breen from Austin, Texas, first spotted this strange cat while walking outside with her boyfriend and her dog.
“We have a very hot day here, so we walk the dog mostly in the evening. We walk a couple of blocks from our house and immediately noticed this cat who was sitting on the side of the road.
We often walk here and know all the local cats, but I saw this cat for the first time,” says the girl (Good news about animals – goodnewsanimal.ru).
The cat turned out to be very friendly and looked well-fed, so Erin decided that he definitely had an owner, but it was possible that the cat was lost.
“He came right up to us and started rubbing against our legs. But when my dog became interested in him, the cat aggressively tried to attack her and my friend had to rush the dog home.”
Erin was late and managed to take some photos of the cat, she wanted to post them on the city’s Facebook page so that someone could recognize her lost pet.
The cat was much more affectionate with the girl than with her dog, and when she went home, he trotted after her and pursued her all the way to the house. Erin tried to push him away, but it was useless, and when she went into the house, the cat stayed outside and sat right in front of the door.
Erin silently began to call the cat Greg . Seeing that the cat was not going anywhere, she decided. that he was hungry and brought him water in a bowl and some food. And this seems to have finally convinced the cat that this is a very suitable place for a new home.
“He sat on the porch and looked through the low narrow window at us.”
He sat like that for more than an hour, and when he finally disappeared, Erin and her friend decided that the cat had finally gone to his street.
But both were wrong…
“I went into the kitchen to get myself something to eat and when I came back into the living room and sat on the couch I was startled to see Greg the cat looking at me from the living room window.”
“He just sat there and watched us as we sat on the couch and watched TV. He sat there and meowed for almost an hour. Then he tried to get into the house through the dog door. Then he finally went somewhere.”
The next morning, Greg was back on Erin’s front porch and stayed there most of the day. When the girl and her friend went for a walk with the dog in the evening, the cat ran after them and kept a short distance.
“We were walking the dog on a mile-long route and the cat was following us the whole time.”
This went on for the next four days. The cat mostly sat on the porch and looked at people through a narrow window.
“I could go downstairs at any time of the night and see his yellow eyes in the window. He carefully peered at me through the blinds. It was both funny and creepy at the same time. He was always watching us.”
All these days, Erin has been trying to find the owner of the cat. She read local websites and pages on social networks, posted photos of a cat. But no one answered her. She even put a thin paper collar on Greg with a note for his owner, in case the cat did go to him for a while. But that didn’t work either.
Red cat Erin named Max also looked at Greg and was surprised that he was sitting outside the window
At the same time, Erin did not want to call the services for trapping animals, she did not want the cat to end up in a city shelter. She saw that the cat was healthy and that he was well cared for and did not want to. to make him stressed out.
“My own cat, Max, is very friendly and loves to walk around the yard and visit our neighbors’ house. And I would not want one of them to give Max to a shelter, so I do not want the same for Greg.”
From time to time, Erin wanted to finally let the poor cat inside the house, but he was still aggressive towards her dog and she was afraid that they would fight.
Things finally got off the ground when a volunteer from a local humane society came to Erin’s house with a pet microchip scanner. He scanned the cat and found out that he has a microchip and contains the address of his owner and his name.
It is revealed that the cat’s real name is Kylo and that his house is a few blocks away from Erin’s. And Kylo just jumped out the door of the apartment one day and got lost. The owner of the cat, Michael Navarrete, immediately came for him when he called, and finally took the extremely persistent cat back to his home.
“Look who’s back home. I missed you buddy!” Michael Navarrete wrote on his Facebook page that evening.
“He (Navarette) was very happy to see the cat. He even cried for about five minutes.”
And Erin and her boyfriend suddenly began to miss their temporary furry friend.
“The other day my friend said, ‘I wonder what Greg is up to now.’ And I said, ‘Yeah, I’m thinking about him too.’
