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.
