Is This Cat Lost or Just Judging Me?

So there’s this cat hanging around my apartment block, and I can’t tell if it’s lost, homeless, or just moonlighting as a local menace. Here’s what I’ve learned: If it strolls up to you like it owns the place (tail up, eye contact, maybe even a meow), it’s probably a stray who’s used to people. Feral cats? They’ll act like you’re a ghost. Check for a collar, but don’t assume anything if it’s missing—cats lose those like socks in a dryer. Healthy-ish but hungry? Might be new to the streets. Dirty coat? Probably a stray. Clean but skinny? Wild child. Ask around, post pics online, and if you’re brave, slap a paper collar on it with your number. Vets can scan for a microchip, too. Don’t forget to check shelters and lost pet sites. Basically, if the cat’s judging you, it probably had a home once. If it’s ignoring you, welcome to the club. #CatRescue #StrayCat #LostAndFound #Pets #Cats
