An extremely persistent cat chased the girl for several days and tried to infiltrate her house
Erin Breen from Austin, Texas, first noticed this strange cat when walking outside with her boyfriend and her dog.
«It’s very hot here during the day, so we walk the dog mostly in the evening. We walk a couple of blocks from our house and immediately noticed this cat sitting on the side of the road.
We often walk here and know all the local cats, but I saw this cat for the first time,» says the girl.
The cat turned out to be very friendly and looked fat, so Erin decided that he definitely had a master, but it is possible that the cat got lost.
«He came straight to us and began to rub against our feet. But when my dog became interested in it, the cat aggressively tried to attack her and my friend had to hastily take the dog home.»
Erin was late and managed to take some photos of the cat, she wanted to post them on the city page on Facebook so that someone could recognize their lost pet.
The cat was much more affectionate with the girl than with her dog and when she went home, he seeded after her and chased her all the way home. Erin tried to drive him away, but it was useless, and when she went into the house, the cat stayed outside and sat right in front of the door.
Erin began to call the cat Greg to herself. Seeing that the cat was not going anywhere, she decided that he was hungry and took him water in a bowl and some food. And it seems to have finally convinced the cat that there is a very suitable place for a new home.
«He was sitting on the porch and looking at us through a low narrow window.»
So he sat for more than an hour, and when he finally disappeared, Erin and her friend decided that the cat had finally gone to his street.
But both were wrong…
«I went to the kitchen to make myself something to eat and when I returned to the living room and sat down on the sofa, I was amazed when I saw Greg the cat looking at me from the window in the living room.»
«He was just sitting there watching us sit on the couch watching TV. He sat there and meowed for almost an hour. Then he tried to climb into the house through the dog’s door. Then he finally went somewhere.»
The next morning, Greg was again on the porch of Erin’s house and stayed there most of the day. When the girl and her friend went for a walk with the dog in the evening, the cat ran after them and kept a short distance.
«We walked the dog on a mile-long route and all this time the cat followed us.»
This continued for the next four days. The cat was mostly sitting on the porch and looking at people in a narrow window.
«I could go downstairs at any time of the night and see his yellow eyes in the window. He looked at me carefully through the blinds. It was both funny and at the same time creepy. He always followed us.»
All these days, Erin tried to find the owner of the cat. She read local websites and pages in social networks, posted photos of the cat. But no one answered her. She even put on Greg a thin paper collar with a note for his owner, in case the cat still goes to him for a while. But it didn’t work either.
Red cat Erin named Max also looked at Greg and was surprised that he was sitting outside the window
At the same time, Erin did not want to call animal catching services, she did not want the cat to get to the city shelter. She saw that the cat was healthy and that he was well-groomed and didn’t want him to have stress from such a thing.
«My own cat Max is very friendly and likes to walk around the yard and visit our neighbors’ house. And I wouldn’t want any of them to take Max to an orphanage, so I don’t want the same for Greg.»
From time to time, Erin wanted to finally let the poor cat inside the house, but he was still aggressive towards her dog and she was afraid that they would fight.
Finally, things moved from a standstill when a volunteer from a local humane society came to Erin’s house and had a microchip scanner for pets with him. He scanned the cat and found out that he had a microchip and his owner’s address and his name were listed there.
It turned out that the cat’s name is actually Kylo and that his house is a few blocks from Erin’s house. And Kylo just jumped out the apartment door one day and got lost. The owner of the cat, Michael Navarrete, immediately came for him when he received a call, and finally took the extremely persistent cat back to his home.
«Look who came home» I missed you, buddy!» wrote Michael Navarrete on his Facebook page the same evening.
«He (Navarette) was very happy to see the cat. He even cried for about five minutes.»
And Erin and her boyfriend suddenly began to miss their temporary shaggy friend.
«The next day, my friend said, «I wonder what Greg is doing now.» And I said, «Yes, I think about him too.» It was such a determined cat and he was still trying to climb into my house. Very decisive.»
