This stray cat just adopted me. Send help?

So there's this orange tabby that's been hanging around my apartment for weeks. Started with just meowing at my door, then somehow convinced me to leave food out. Now she's basically moved into my balcony and gives me judgmental looks when I come home late. I've never owned a cat. Don't even consider myself a cat person. But here I am, googling 'cat adoption checklist' at 2am because this little furball has apparently decided I'm her human. She's clearly been on the streets for a while - a bit skinny, needs some TLC. Part of me thinks I should take her to a shelter, but another part of me is already mentally naming her (thinking 'Mango'?). For those who've been chosen by strays before - how do you know if you're ready? What should I do first? Because honestly, I think she's already made the decision for both of us. #Pets #Cats #straycats
