I was walking on the street from the apartment gym to my apartment. The cat was on a tree "talking" to me while I was passing. I stopped and went down. He ran to me immediately as if we knew each other. The weather was cold and I was wearing shorts. He hid beneath me enjoying the heat of my legs. I caressed him and he made happy sounds. I stood up and kept walking, he just followed me all the way... I stopped, he stopped. I walked, he followed. A guy passing by asked:"Are you walking your cat? I have never seen people walking their cat before." I laughed: "It's not my cat, but he is following me." It reminded me of my old cat "Xiaoya", who always followed me anywhere, like a dog. Finally I got home, and the cat was still with me, jumping and running around. Seems no invitation was needed, he became a guest of my home. We served him some fresh Salmon and beef, and he ate them all up. He was a smart cat because most of Amecian cats don't eat fish or beef, but only cat food. After dinner, we opened the door to see if he needed to go back to nature. But he was comfortably lying on the floor, with no intention of leaving.

This little cat shared a lot in common with "Xiaoya", similar face, similar voice, similar shape. And he appeared just at the time when I missed and felt deeply sorry for my old cat. It touched my sorrow of leaving "Xiaoya" without saying anything. If she is still alive, she would probably wonder why I left her. She had been always loyal to me like a dog, although she was too naughty to mess things up, but I left her for my own future. Now this cat is here, waiting for me to give him a warm home. Is it a destiny?
Cute little tiger!
