How a Stray Cat Chose Me in a Parking Lot

I always thought I’d be the one to pick out my future pet. Turns out, fate had other plans. Yesterday, I was juggling groceries in a crowded parking lot when I heard the tiniest meow. There he was—this scruffy, wide-eyed cat, looking at me like I was his last hope. I tried to ignore him (I mean, who just brings home a random cat?), but he followed me all the way to my car, weaving between my legs and purring like we’d known each other forever. So, yeah, I caved. He rode shotgun, completely unfazed, like he’d been waiting for this moment his whole life. Now he’s curled up on my couch, snoring louder than my old roommate. I guess sometimes you don’t adopt a pet—they adopt you. Anyone else get chosen by their pet? #AdoptDontShop #CatRescue #PetStories #Pets #Cats
