    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.

          Make sure you get a breakaway collar or it could strangle the cat if it gets caught on something.

          Good luck on that. Make sure it’s a break away one.

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

          that sounds barbaric. I get clipping on ferrals, but if there’s an owner… why take the effort?

            I think (without any research, just from vague memory) the ear clipping isn’t actually all that painful to the cat, and the benefits of an immediate visual identifier outweigh it. I wouldn’t even know where to look for a cat tat.

      There’s no way that sparkling white cat is feral.

        Feral when the ear was clipped at least.

      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.

      A couple of my ferals are friendly like this and I get them flea prevention when they climb in my lap.

      You’ve never just taken a neat chomp out of a friendly cat’s ear?

    Pretty sure that is your cat now. Sorry, we don’t make the rules, the cats do.

    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.
