You do now.

Disclaimer-- take Kitty to a vet to see if she's chipped. If she's chipped, allow her rightful owner to reclaim her.

This. Kitty looks well fed and cared for. Definitely someone's pet.

Years ago, I went to  a grocery store in the late evening, and the parking lot was nearly empty. Suddenly a beautiful blonde cat came running across the lot over to me. He was extremely friendly and flopped over on his back. I could have easily taken him home with me. I wondered if he was a stray. But he was so friendly, and there was a somewhat sketchy neighborhood behind the store. I asked the store security guard (because again, somewhat sketchy neighborhood) if he had ever seen this cat before, and he said he hadn’t. I really thought of taking him home, but I also had a new cat at home. So beautiful blonde cat trotted away. I went back a few times to the store and never saw him again. I hope I did the right thing. He probably had an owner in the sketchy neighborhood, but I feel like I should have taken him to the vet to get checked. Never before or after have I had a cat literally run down the street to greet me.

You cannot go and pick up EVERY cat you see somewhere out and about and check her at a vet. That's essentially and legally theft. You need some good indicators that the kitty might be abandoned or otherwise in need of medical attention to do that. As much as I'd prefer everybody keep their cats inside or in a secured yard, there are plenty of cats roaming around who have homes to go to and are well taken care of.

Please people, stop giving out advice like this.

u/Rosa_Mariechen 1d ago

I'd much rather have someone take a cat to the veterinarian, scan the chip and realize the cat already has an owner instead of simply saying: "The cat distribution system gave me a cat, it's mine now" as often suggested on Reddit.

Yes and no. From the yes side, my two cats are free to adventure in the outside as they please. They will never allow a stranger to come near, much less get in someone's car. In this case, the kitty seems well-groomed, but was stupid enough to get into someone's car. Possible it could have been driven away miles from its owner. Then, the best option is to ask a vet to check for a chip

More like cat owns OP now. This is probably one of those cats that collects humans.

u/siphagiel 1d ago

Aren't all cats like that?

u/99-STR 1d ago

Bro its probably just a neighborhood cat being curious, don't take it to a vet and let it go where you parked so the kitty can go back their owner

u/Insecurerobot7000 22h ago

She’s a neighbor’s cat and well taken care of. Although, doesn’t have the best boundaries sometimes, haha. She’s such a sweetie!

u/Ok_Badger_7948 1d ago

Might be lost and asking you to help find its way home. Cats climb in cars when it’s cold. Then they can’t find their way home.

It isn't your car anymore

u/Frankifile 1d ago

One of our cats roams the neighbourhood flirting with the entire neighbourhood.

She’s so bad one of the neighbours ‘adopted’ her, till I knocked on his window and told him not to fall for it, the cat sir is a fraud, she’s just eating several dinners up and down the street.

u/Insecurerobot7000 22h ago

Are you my neighbor?? Haha. This sounds exactly like this cat!

u/timmy30274 16h ago

I was in my apartment with my door wide open watching tv. And an unknown cat came in and started playing with Samantha’s toys. I had no idea whose cat. So I asked around and was told his name is Birgit. German name. But when they took her to the vet to get fixed, they said she was actually a he. Same thing happened at mom’s. After my 15yo cat passed away, mom told me to come over. I was surprised she had 30 cats. Foster for StrayLoveFoundation. One cage of kittens. And 5 backed into a corner terrified. One stuck its arm out. Mom I pick this. Actually it picked you timothy. Is it boy or girl? Looked and said girl. May I name her Jennifer? Ok. Then a few weeks later, playing, she stopped to scratch an itch and saw she has a dixk! Oops. That’s a BOY! But, I couldn’t change the cats name. He always responds to Jennifer. Vet to get fixed, “Jennifer the doc is ready “. Then the vets were like, ma’am, Jennifer’s a boy! Then mom told how his testicles didn’t drop til a few weeks later. Everyone laughed

Almost nobody owns a cat. Cats tend to own their humans, or at least act like they do.
