Years ago I lived in a townhouse and had a neighbor whose cat would cry from inside her house all day while she was at work, and I eventually made an arrangement with her so her cat Kiwi could hang out with me and my dog Peanut all day while she was at work. One day she told me she was getting married and semi-hinted, "My fiancé is allergic to Kiwi so...." She didn't even finish the sentence before I offered to take her cat. - Kiwi lived with my dog Peanut and I for 8 very happy years.
Years ago the exact same thing happened to me. The neighbors cat kept coming to my house every single night and would sleep over. She’d leave in the morning and return every night just before dark. One day she stopped coming. I knocked on every door and eventually found her “home”. Found out from one of the roommates that her owners abused her. She wasn’t coming over anymore because they moved. I got the address from the roommate and filed an anonymous animal welfare check. Long story short the cat was confiscated and guess who adopted her and has given her the best life ever!!!! She’s the sweetest cat and loves her new life. That was 10 years ago.
Right? Geo is a player make no mistake. But who is going to pay for the vet bill when his weight becomes an issue...haha? Geo best be making plans...maybe he already has....lol
Cats pick their “people.” It’s an honor that George has chosen you & your family to be part of his family. Now he has two families that love & pamper him. AWESOME!!!

He'd often be sitting on the front steps when I got home from work, waiting for his snack. He also figured out that I ate later in the evening and would skulk around the backdoor and wait for the light to come on. I need to go back across town and pay him a visit!
My parents' neighbors' cat spent her days at their home, sleeping in their dog's paws. In fact, their Alaskan Malamute was like a huge cat magnet. When the neighbors decided to move, my dad was worried about losing his little dog-walking companion. The day before they left, they came to give my father her papers "We can't separate her from your dog" ❤
This reminds me of how I met my cat. After my previous cat passed away at the ripe old age of 23, Shotgun and her previous family moved into the house across the street from mine. I gradually befriended her and eventually she started spending a lot of her time in my house. When her family had to move away not long later, my family and I were more than happy to take her in, and now she lives with us full time.
This is like our neighbor cat, Dino, from down the street. Big ol' huge fluff. So sweet. His family has rowdy kids and some dogs so he comes here for a quiet nap in the back yard. I like to say Dino is our kitty, but not our kitty. 😄
Yeah, we have a neighbor cat named Petrie who has too many "room mates" so he comes over to our houise in the morning and enjoys his day spa here in peace and quiet. Cats pick a lair to retreat to.
Our cat was at first our neighbor's cat, but they too had toddlers and a lot of other animals, so some years ago, she moved in with us permanently after a few years of visits that kept becoming longer and longer. She's now a happy family member. I should point out that the previous owners actually offered, so it wasn't like we cat-napped her.
My neighbors have a cat named Dino too! They have dogs and kids too. He does the same thing in my back yard. Wouldn't it be funny if we are in the same neighborhood? lol ! 😀
THIS IS SO WONDERFUL! ❤ This cat has two homes where he's cared for and loved! And has probaby saved another cat's life in Hawaii if the Dad adopts from a shelter!
It's not wonderful. Cats should be indoors. They are an invasive species and in the US alone kill 40 BILLION birds and 22 BILLION small mammals EACH YEAR. They are responsible for massive extinctions around the world. Hawaii has had massive extinctions of native animals due to cats. So no, Dad does NOT need a cat unless he keeps it indoors.
There was a cat like this in my street, he ran up to me like a dog, I had never experienced that. He was full of so much love and me for him. The neighbour one day told another I know he visits me and its ok. One day I was away and it was thundering. I came home he had waited outside my door the whole time. I picked him up and he had got hit by a car. He had waited there probably all night for me and I wasnt home. My intution that night told me to go home. He died, he was possibly the most loving animal I had ever met, so special. We forget that all every living things needs is love and are seeking to belong to a place that feels like home.
And this is again, why cats should not be roaming the streets. Too many are hit by cars or overcome by disease.. they are not a native species in the USA
@@Wisepatiour right I’m 53 and my mom has kept me in house since she got me. 1st she said I was to young then that I may get hit by car then that I may get a disease either way she said no one should just be roaming the streets. Like 98% of society we are not natives. She feeds me best food I rarely snack and never overeat she makes sure. Sometimes she makes me think I’m playing like w real things but most the time i look out window.. I can smell the outside on the dog or a bit of snow since he gets to go out mom says I’m gonna have a really long healthy life . And that’s what they want .. on the end they are the owner and it doesn’t matter what I want .. good job pati
@@Think-dont-believe even Jackson Galaxy, a cat behaviorist, says that cats should be inside and protected from dogs, cars, etc. Or at least have access to a catio, but some protected place from dangers.
Two stories. My grandma had a grey cat named Florence that was so thrilled to see me every time we came to visit. It would sit in my lap all day and follow me around the house. I was a kid and I think it liked me for that. Second, there was a kitten in the tree out in my front yard when I went to work meowing. It was a black and white. It was still there when I came from work. I took him down and he was so grateful. He didn’t belong to anyone. I took him to vet and he had a fractured leg from a probable dog attack. We got him fixed up and adopted him, Named him Gibson because the bill for his vet care was the money I had planned to use on a new guitar, but I was more happy to have the cat.
That's the best kind of stalker. A cat stalker. LOL Such a little sweetie. I have an outdoor cat that comes to my home every single day. He's precious also.
Her dad is awesome! I truly hope he gets a buddy back home like George. I think he a Maine Coon or Norwegian Forest cat would have the personality like George. I hope we get an update.
Norwegian forest cats are extremely rare and have flat noses / faces I know cause my cat was told to me to be a Norwegian but when I did research it’s very unlikely. Also if that cat was an Norwegian - I doubt they would be let outside as like I said extremely rare and costs a small fortune
I'm really emotional right now. I had a cat for 14 years, and it actually belonged to a neighbor who lived on a street perpendicular to ours. But he decided to come and live with us. Then, one day, the original owner happened to pass by and claimed that the cat belonged to her. I explained that he had been living with us for almost a year. She was incredibly understanding and said it was fine, as he had chosen us.
That happened to me. I adopted a cat from the shelter, had her a few months as inside only and one day she got out. I tried to find her but no luck. I can't remember how long after she got out, I was coming home from work and noticed a cat that looked like her at a house down the street. I stopped the car and talked to the guy who lives there. I said "that's my cat!" lol He said it was a male, mine was a female, so I said "ok". Then just last year we talked again and he said, "you know what, that actually is your cat. I took to the vet and they told me it's a female. I thought it was a neutered male. Do you want her back?" I said, "no, as long as she's happy and healthy here". He's the street's cat guy lol. She gets to be inside and outside, fed, etc. Inside only is much safer, though. He told me that another cat he was feeding got killed by dogs.
I mean, it depends on the cat. Some cats are snuggly like this and are love-starved. My ginger boy is exactly like George, he loves cuddles SO much, and he also visits the next door neighbors-- though he's not as bad as George because he gets a lot of attention/affection from me as I work from home and so he seeks me out all the time. But when we let him out to pee in the morning, he visits the neighbors sometimes because they will fawn over him and give him pets and hugs, so he hangs out with them for about 15 minutes till him or they get bored, then comes back in to stay with us all day. We GPS him and never let him out late or overnight though. We know where he is all the time. We have wondered why our boy is so affectionate, we're not sure because he was a rescue, if he was removed from his mother too young or what. But he loves being with people ALL the time and rarely gets overstimulated from human interaction.
George picked you and your family. Maybe he doesn't want where he lives or the people there aren't giving him the attention and love that he needs. 😿 Lovely cat, George! 😻
It's possible that George may not have been receiving the emotional stimulations & affections that he's been craving for from his actual family. Since cats are exceptionally intelligent animals & usually quite selective with the company they keep, George therefore sought within the neighbourhood & thus found this neighbour & her dad, both of which, satisfy his every emotional needs. I believe there's nothing more rewarding than an animal, here particularly is a cat, who specifically chose them from the entire neighbourhood to be his permanent feline companions.❤😻❤
Owners at work during the day? He looks well cared for and does choose to go home at night. Someone above said Cari moved back to Hawaii but keeps in tough with George’s owner.
Obviously, George sees & senses something special about you & your family. Cats are very picky who they like/love. Remember: You don't choose the cat, the cat chooses you! 😻
I am glad I work from home. I could never leave my cat outside and go to work. Anything can happen out there. Thank God George found a safe loving place to hang.
Some cats can only be outdoor cats. We adopted thunder who is a black main coons and he was already an outdoor cat. We tried to make him an indoor cat and he was absolutley miserable. He’s now full time outdoors and he spends his days lounging in the backyard and sleeping at the next door neighbors house. He comes inside when he wants to which is only in the morning to eat and then nap. Then it’s back outside.
Ppl hang on to the idea that cats are like plushies. Some cats can't stay inside, it's terrible for them. Some outdoor places are not dangerous. The world is big, learn more about it before saying such things. George looks amazingly well fed and taken care off when he comes to the neighbours. This looks like a peaceful place. Cats need freedom too you know? Least you can do is leash them.
@@lilbrother45 One of my cats is this black feral I named Miss Midnight the Feral. She was born in a feral colony and lived her first three years as a happy member of said feral colony. She absolutely HATED being inside. That changed when she had kittens that needed my help and I had to take them (she knew I would help them so she let me). I caught Miss Midnight the Feral because she was looking for them. When she saw that I still had them, she decided she would be ok with raising them inside. I promised her that after she got fixed, she could go back outside if she wanted, all she had to do was ask. While she was raising them, she didn't even give a thought to the freedom she no longer had. About 8 months later she finally got fixed (thank the pandemic). Her "Gotcha day" is in April, it was in 2020. She's become "Miss Midnight the Spoilt Feral Queen of the Cat Tree". And, remember the promise I made to her to let her out if she wanted? She never took me up on it. If I give her attention and she wants to rub her face on my hand, if it's too far, she'll reach out and try to pull on it so she can rub her face on my hand. Her daughter, Miss Spots was born outside but she never became feral. One day, in August 2020, Miss Spots decided she wanted to live inside, too.
@@__MPires__ Here, where I live, we have cats getting hit by vehicles all the time. We also have coyotes roaming around who would love to make a meal out of your cat.
If he is coming at all hours and crying and crying, he is lonely and even stresssed...i have many cats ...some that come and go...this guys want more of home
whats amazing is as big as he is he is able to scale that fence...reminds me of the overweight guy who is deceptively strong...overweight but still agile...he's a happy cat who is willing to travel 15 homes away to see his friends...
@@suemitchel-runow3566omg thank u for explaining this because I have a cat in my complex that walks around crying I feed him all day but just like u said he’s probably lonely 😢
It’s a compliment when a cat wants to be friends with u. It also says a lot! George is adorable. I was smitten just watching your friendship through the video! God bless u!
What a beautiful cat. He's just lonely and likes company. He has a beautiful personality to. I hope he doesn't have to stay out all day in the cold or heat . I love how on your ring doorbell it sounds exactly like he's saying " Hello".
So damn precious. I kinda had a neighbor cat like that a long time ago. They were very fuzzy and orange, too, just like George. Their name was Sunny. They would always come over to see me and my mother from across the street, and stayed around all day.
I used to have a cat that we knew would go to other people's houses and get fed. We asked a few neighbors if they ever see a black cat because he would be gone for a few days at a time. He literally had like 4 or 5 "homes". Coolest cat I've ever had too.
Aside from George being a total sweetheart, I gotta say I was quite impressed by how nimbly he took that fence. I mean, he's clearly not the most 'athletic' looking kitty. 😊💖
@@zetharerey3761 yep, some cats are just very fluffy. I had a 5 lb cat that looked like she weighed 10 lbs, it was all hair. If people didn't know and picked her up, they were surprised at how light she was.
I have had a similar exoerience with a cat like george! Its amazing that they find a person that they have an instant connection with. Its almost like you have known them before and magically been connected again.
I love cats, they all have their own personalities. Some are friendly like George but some want nothing to do with people. He reminds me of my old childhood cat Oreo, he was my best friend but his mom and sister hated me.
I had a childhood cat named Oreo as well! We adopted her from our neighbor, along with her sister Muddy. Oreo was a black and white shorthair and Muddy was a longhair mix of all different browns. They looked so different but came from the same litter. We lived way out in the country so they were indoor/outdoor cats and I’m sure they went back over to my neighbor’s house to visit their mom lol.
This reminds me of my Jessica when she was a stray. She would be at the bottom of the stairs 3 floors down just howling for her breakfast that I found out one of my neighbors was giving her. I started feeding her myself and let her inside my apartment. 3 amazing years ago she’s my best friend.
This is so adorable. Love the fact that you find time for George and as for your Dad, we’ll he’s so sweet spending his time with George. I hope you have a long and happy friendship with George, who is a sweetie ♥️
I wish it were like this. Luckily our immediate neighbors are great and love my cat, but I know some up the street who just hate cats. There are a lot of cat haters in the world who outright despise them, and it makes me so sad.
The oldest cat that I ever had the pleasure of keeping was actually originally one of my neighbors. He used to come over and hang out at our house every single day. My house was this two-story house with a really large deck that wrapped around it; the cat would climb up a tree and then onto the roof to get in through my room's balcony at night. Eventually when I moved, the neighbor just told me to take the cat because at that point he was more my cat than theirs. His name was heathcliff, he was a black cat and he lived until he was 24 years old. He was solidly an outdoor cat until I moved which is why I would take him for walks around the neighborhood. At first we used a leash and then eventually we didn't need it anymore. Even during his final days he had me take him for a walk.
I love this! I have many 'porch buddies' myself! I know where most of them live except like maybe 3 of them. I always leave food and water out and I look forward to seeing them when I go outside. Brightens my day to have them around.
George so reminds me of my beloved JT, a big orange tabby. He was highly social, too. He walked on a leash. I really loved that guy!😊. George is adorable and so personable!😀❤️
Over 4 billion birds are needlessly killed by free roaming domestic cats in the US annually, directly leading to many being under threat of extinction. Cat owners who let them roam freely also have never seen a cat run over before, as I have in my former pet rescue work. They don’t care about their pet’s safety, the safety of the native species, or about adding to the stray population. We need laws in place to require all cats outdoors be on a leash or in a secured yard with cat proof fencing. If you disagree with that, you are part of the problem and have zero business owning pets.
@@mrs.h2725 Screw you, lady. You say I have no business owning pets, but I know that my cat would be absolutely depressed and miserable if she wasn't allowed to roam outside. Also, the study that is always cited about the number of birds killed is horribly flawed.
@@phoenixlee7949 Yes, Mrs H is wrong. Cats don't kill 4 billion birds each year, they kill 40 BILLION in the US alone. THAT is negative. Not wanting hundreds of animals to go extinct so you can have your pet outside is a positive thing. You caring about tone more than billions of dead animals is what is negative.
I can relate, my neighbor’s cat thinks my house is his and comes every day morning and afternoon. He knows what time I will be home. Love him to bits 😻
AMEN! Is that possible? Could you adopt him? I mean this in a nice way, nothing against your neighbor. George could be an indoor kitty and safer than outside all day. BEAUTIFUL CAT!🥰❤️🐈
@@hhin It’s really not up to the cat to decide if it should be let outside to roam a neighborhood or not. If you cherish your cat, YOU will decide to make it a “indoor only” kitty and keep it safe and protected. Believe me, it will be just as happy living inside once it gets used to it…OR maybe just don’t EVER let it outside at all when you first get it, then it will not have to get used to living indoors. And yes, George is the sweetest boy, looking for love and affection from neighbors because obviously he’s not getting the attention he craves from his owners. 🐾🐾😻
Yes, I feel that is exactly what George is wanting. We had a neighbor's amazing brown Labrador Retriever come and see us daily and spend all summer days with us in southcentral Alaska. We would send him home at night, but he would sneek back and sleep in the yard. During the winter he would go home and we didn't see him until the next summer. After 2nd summer, my husband asked the neighbor if we could keep him. His answer was YES. We have happily been Chip's owner ever since. Animals know the people they want to be with. We are grateful 💗
Years ago we lived in the country, and a momma car came in the driveway and we petted her and she would come over all the time. Since she was pregnant I made sure she was fed. And I came home one day and she wasn’t pregnant so I asked her momma where are your babies?? And I didn’t see her for a week or so. Then one morning I woke up to noises out on the deck, I opened the door and she had brought all her kittens, to show me them🤣she was so proud of them.
Reminds me of Mariah, my neighbors cat. She and her sibling were left behind by previous owners. The community stepped up and takes care of her and other strays or abandoned cats. For some reason she has chosen me to visit every day. I enjoy her company. She feels safe here.
I had a Maine coon & he really was a buddy. Went everywhere with us, even traveling for work . He loved to travel & I woke up every morning to him under the blanket & his head on my pillow next to me. Once you experience a Maine coon, you never find another kitty like them.
You're so fortunate to have a cuddly friend like George. You seem like a dog person but a cat chose you which makes this whole situation so funny. I absolutely love everything about this.
George's owner is hella lucky someone caring is around during the day. Leaving him outside is pretty risky for a number of obvious reasons. Plus he is so friendly and handsome someone awful could just take him. I would not do this. He is happy and safe only because of this kind neighbor. Love how the dad was obsessed.😂
Years ago I lived in a townhouse and had a neighbor whose cat would cry from inside her house all day while she was at work, and I eventually made an arrangement with her so her cat Kiwi could hang out with me and my dog Peanut all day while she was at work.

If his owner didn't let George out to run wild in the neighborhood, He wouldn't have the need for someone else to love him. I think it's wrong
But they've never let him in their house 😥
There was a cat like this in my street, he ran up to me like a dog, I had never experienced that. He was full of so much love and me for him. The neighbour one day told another I know he visits me and its ok. One day I was away and it was thundering. I came home he had waited outside my door the whole time. I picked him up and he had got hit by a car. He had waited there probably all night for me and I wasnt home. My intution that night told me to go home. He died, he was possibly the most loving animal I had ever met, so special. We forget that all every living things needs is love and are seeking to belong to a place that feels like home.
And this is again, why cats should not be roaming the streets. Too many are hit by cars or overcome by disease.. they are not a native species in the USA
Damn.....
Sorry about "your" cat.
At least you came home that night... 😑😑
@@Wisepatiour right I’m 53 and my mom has kept me in house since she got me. 1st she said I was to young then that I may get hit by car then that I may get a disease either way she said no one should just be roaming the streets. Like 98% of society we are not natives. She feeds me best food I rarely snack and never overeat she makes sure. Sometimes she makes me think I’m playing like w real things but most the time i look out window.. I can smell the outside on the dog or a bit of snow since he gets to go out mom says I’m gonna have a really long healthy life . And that’s what they want .. on the end they are the owner and it doesn’t matter what I want .. good job pati
@@Think-dont-believe even Jackson Galaxy, a cat behaviorist, says that cats should be inside and protected from dogs, cars, etc. Or at least have access to a catio, but some protected place from dangers.
Two stories. My grandma had a grey cat named Florence that was so thrilled to see me every time we came to visit. It would sit in my lap all day and follow me around the house. I was a kid and I think it liked me for that.
Second, there was a kitten in the tree out in my front yard when I went to work meowing. It was a black and white. It was still there when I came from work. I took him down and he was so grateful. He didn’t belong to anyone. I took him to vet and he had a fractured leg from a probable dog attack. We got him fixed up and adopted him, Named him Gibson because the bill for his vet care was the money I had planned to use on a new guitar, but I was more happy to have the cat.
😺😺😺😺😺😻😻😻😻😻 your pawsome !!!!👍🥰

That's the best kind of stalker. A cat stalker. LOL Such a little sweetie. I have an outdoor cat that comes to my home every single day. He's precious also.
Her dad is awesome! I truly hope he gets a buddy back home like George. I think he a Maine Coon or Norwegian Forest cat would have the personality like George. I hope we get an update.
Maine coons are champs! Ditto Norwegian forest cats
Dads on Expedia right now planning a trip back to George
Norwegian forest cats are extremely rare and have flat noses / faces
I know cause my cat was told to me to be a Norwegian but when I did research it’s very unlikely.
Also if that cat was an Norwegian - I doubt they would be let outside as like I said extremely rare and costs a small fortune
If anyone asks how Cari is doing, she went back to Hawaii, but still keeps contact with George's owner.
Oh. Keeping in touch with the owners isn’t quite the same as having that extraordinary creature come to visit each day. 😞😢She must miss him terribly.
@@carolcox302 I bet.
His tail is up for the most of the video, that is a very very happy cat.
I'm really emotional right now. I had a cat for 14 years, and it actually belonged to a neighbor who lived on a street perpendicular to ours. But he decided to come and live with us. Then, one day, the original owner happened to pass by and claimed that the cat belonged to her. I explained that he had been living with us for almost a year. She was incredibly understanding and said it was fine, as he had chosen us.
That happened to me. I adopted a cat from the shelter, had her a few months as inside only and one day she got out. I tried to find her but no luck. I can't remember how long after she got out, I was coming home from work and noticed a cat that looked like her at a house down the street. I stopped the car and talked to the guy who lives there. I said "that's my cat!" lol He said it was a male, mine was a female, so I said "ok". Then just last year we talked again and he said, "you know what, that actually is your cat. I took to the vet and they told me it's a female. I thought it was a neutered male. Do you want her back?" I said, "no, as long as she's happy and healthy here". He's the street's cat guy lol. She gets to be inside and outside, fed, etc. Inside only is much safer, though. He told me that another cat he was feeding got killed by dogs.
*LOVE* that her dad had a brush for George! 😺😸
This girl's dad is my kind of person! Takes his time with cat that comes to visit 💛😺💛🙂💛
I have 2 cats, I can honestly say it is not common to find a cat like George! He's a sweetheart ❤
He is lonely...
I mean, it depends on the cat. Some cats are snuggly like this and are love-starved. My ginger boy is exactly like George, he loves cuddles SO much, and he also visits the next door neighbors-- though he's not as bad as George because he gets a lot of attention/affection from me as I work from home and so he seeks me out all the time. But when we let him out to pee in the morning, he visits the neighbors sometimes because they will fawn over him and give him pets and hugs, so he hangs out with them for about 15 minutes till him or they get bored, then comes back in to stay with us all day. We GPS him and never let him out late or overnight though. We know where he is all the time. We have wondered why our boy is so affectionate, we're not sure because he was a rescue, if he was removed from his mother too young or what. But he loves being with people ALL the time and rarely gets overstimulated from human interaction.
I have 8 cats & all of them are super friendly
All the cats I have owned are just attention seekers like George 😊
George picked you and your family. Maybe he doesn't want where he lives or the people there aren't giving him the attention and love that he needs. 😿 Lovely cat, George! 😻
It's possible that George may not have been receiving the emotional stimulations & affections that he's been craving for from his actual family. Since cats are exceptionally intelligent animals & usually quite selective with the company they keep, George therefore sought within the neighbourhood & thus found this neighbour & her dad, both of which, satisfy his every emotional needs. I believe there's nothing more rewarding than an animal, here particularly is a cat, who specifically chose them from the entire neighbourhood to be his permanent feline companions.❤😻❤
I really hope it's just a case of George being very sociable, so he spends his days visiting all the cat lovers in the neighborhood.
Owners at work during the day? He looks well cared for and does choose to go home at night. Someone above said Cari moved back to Hawaii but keeps in tough with George’s owner.
Not really he is well fed and groomed❤
Obviously, George sees & senses something special about you & your family. Cats are very picky who they like/love. Remember: You don't choose the cat, the cat chooses you! 😻
I am glad I work from home. I could never leave my cat outside and go to work. Anything can happen out there. Thank God George found a safe loving place to hang.
Agree. These are wonderful, sweet people. Why on earth does Georges owner allow him outside? It's dangerous.
Some cats can only be outdoor cats. We adopted thunder who is a black main coons and he was already an outdoor cat. We tried to make him an indoor cat and he was absolutley miserable. He’s now full time outdoors and he spends his days lounging in the backyard and sleeping at the next door neighbors house. He comes inside when he wants to which is only in the morning to eat and then nap. Then it’s back outside.
Ppl hang on to the idea that cats are like plushies.
Some cats can't stay inside, it's terrible for them. Some outdoor places are not dangerous. The world is big, learn more about it before saying such things.
George looks amazingly well fed and taken care off when he comes to the neighbours. This looks like a peaceful place.
Cats need freedom too you know? Least you can do is leash them.
@@lilbrother45 One of my cats is this black feral I named Miss Midnight the Feral. She was born in a feral colony and lived her first three years as a happy member of said feral colony. She absolutely HATED being inside. That changed when she had kittens that needed my help and I had to take them (she knew I would help them so she let me). I caught Miss Midnight the Feral because she was looking for them. When she saw that I still had them, she decided she would be ok with raising them inside. I promised her that after she got fixed, she could go back outside if she wanted, all she had to do was ask. While she was raising them, she didn't even give a thought to the freedom she no longer had. About 8 months later she finally got fixed (thank the pandemic). Her "Gotcha day" is in April, it was in 2020. She's become "Miss Midnight the Spoilt Feral Queen of the Cat Tree". And, remember the promise I made to her to let her out if she wanted? She never took me up on it. If I give her attention and she wants to rub her face on my hand, if it's too far, she'll reach out and try to pull on it so she can rub her face on my hand. Her daughter, Miss Spots was born outside but she never became feral. One day, in August 2020, Miss Spots decided she wanted to live inside, too.
@@__MPires__ Here, where I live, we have cats getting hit by vehicles all the time. We also have coyotes roaming around who would love to make a meal out of your cat.
I agree "cats pick their people". That cat loves you and George. Such an honor. God Bless You. ❤
What a magnificent floof❤ Looks like he‘s well cared for and fed🥰💕
If he is coming at all hours and crying and crying, he is lonely and even stresssed...i have many cats ...some that come and go...this guys want more of home
Obviously.. lolol
whats amazing is as big as he is he is able to scale that fence...reminds me of the overweight guy who is deceptively strong...overweight but still agile...he's a happy cat who is willing to travel 15 homes away to see his friends...
@@suemitchel-runow3566omg thank u for explaining this because I have a cat in my complex that walks around crying I feed him all day but just like u said he’s probably lonely 😢
@@suemitchel-runow3566owner at work during the day? He does take himself home at night of his own volition and looks well-cared for.
This is so heckin' sweet. That first shot with him at the window was priceless too.
George is a sweetheart ❤ He's really lucky he met nice people like you.
It’s a compliment when a cat wants to be friends with u. It also says a lot! George is adorable. I was smitten just watching your friendship through the video! God bless u!
OMG this is so adorable! What a little sweetheart! 🥰
Love the bond you 2 have.
I'd love to have a neighbor like George. ❤ 🐾🐾
He knows good people
What a beautiful cat. He's just lonely and likes company. He has a beautiful personality to. I hope he doesn't have to stay out all day in the cold or heat . I love how on your ring doorbell it sounds exactly like he's saying " Hello".
So damn precious. I kinda had a neighbor cat like that a long time ago. They were very fuzzy and orange, too, just like George. Their name was Sunny. They would always come over to see me and my mother from across the street, and stayed around all day.
I used to have a cat that we knew would go to other people's houses and get fed. We asked a few neighbors if they ever see a black cat because he would be gone for a few days at a time. He literally had like 4 or 5 "homes". Coolest cat I've ever had too.
This is just beautiful. I've been a cat owner all my life and i can tell you that George loves you guys. ❤️
Aside from George being a total sweetheart, I gotta say I was quite impressed by how nimbly he took that fence. I mean, he's clearly not the most 'athletic' looking kitty. 😊💖
Thought the same. I think the fur can be tricking us, he's probably jacked under all that hair lol
the cat cant read youtube comments so youre allowed to call it fat xd
I noticed that, too! 😄
@@zetharerey3761 yep, some cats are just very fluffy. I had a 5 lb cat that looked like she weighed 10 lbs, it was all hair. If people didn't know and picked her up, they were surprised at how light she was.
Love and respect for all you Animal Lovers here ❤❤❤❤
That beloved kitty should be kept safely inside at night!
Gorgeous George is an extra sweet, beautiful soul❤️🌟
I have had a similar exoerience with a cat like george! Its amazing that they find a person that they have an instant connection with. Its almost like you have known them before and magically been connected again.
I love cats, they all have their own personalities. Some are friendly like George but some want nothing to do with people. He reminds me of my old childhood cat Oreo, he was my best friend but his mom and sister hated me.
I had a childhood cat named Oreo as well! We adopted her from our neighbor, along with her sister Muddy. Oreo was a black and white shorthair and Muddy was a longhair mix of all different browns. They looked so different but came from the same litter. We lived way out in the country so they were indoor/outdoor cats and I’m sure they went back over to my neighbor’s house to visit their mom lol.
George is out there living his best life
This reminds me of my Jessica when she was a stray. She would be at the bottom of the stairs 3 floors down just howling for her breakfast that I found out one of my neighbors was giving her. I started feeding her myself and let her inside my apartment. 3 amazing years ago she’s my best friend.
Everyone needs a George in their life
George is such a little love!
This is so adorable. Love the fact that you find time for George and as for your Dad, we’ll he’s so sweet spending his time with George. I hope you have a long and happy friendship with George, who is a sweetie ♥️
Lovely example of it takes a village. I love the thought of people and neighbours looking out for one another, including pets.
I wish it were like this. Luckily our immediate neighbors are great and love my cat, but I know some up the street who just hate cats. There are a lot of cat haters in the world who outright despise them, and it makes me so sad.
The oldest cat that I ever had the pleasure of keeping was actually originally one of my neighbors. He used to come over and hang out at our house every single day. My house was this two-story house with a really large deck that wrapped around it; the cat would climb up a tree and then onto the roof to get in through my room's balcony at night. Eventually when I moved, the neighbor just told me to take the cat because at that point he was more my cat than theirs. His name was heathcliff, he was a black cat and he lived until he was 24 years old. He was solidly an outdoor cat until I moved which is why I would take him for walks around the neighborhood. At first we used a leash and then eventually we didn't need it anymore. Even during his final days he had me take him for a walk.
George is a special kitty. Such a cute video.
Truly special to have a pure loving soul like George...
It's a real gift for a cat to want to hang around like that. He's friends with Henry, too!
I love this! I have many 'porch buddies' myself! I know where most of them live except like maybe 3 of them. I always leave food and water out and I look forward to seeing them when I go outside. Brightens my day to have them around.
George so reminds me of my beloved JT, a big orange tabby. He was highly social, too. He walked on a leash. I really loved that guy!😊. George is adorable and so personable!😀❤️
He chose you as his special person! What a blessing!
he's like here I am love me gotta love me
George is so sweet 💜💜💜 It is very convenient to have such a loving cat in the neighborhood when there is no way to get your own cat 😁👍🏻
Over 4 billion birds are needlessly killed by free roaming domestic cats in the US annually, directly leading to many being under threat of extinction. Cat owners who let them roam freely also have never seen a cat run over before, as I have in my former pet rescue work. They don’t care about their pet’s safety, the safety of the native species, or about adding to the stray population. We need laws in place to require all cats outdoors be on a leash or in a secured yard with cat proof fencing. If you disagree with that, you are part of the problem and have zero business owning pets.
@@mrs.h2725 you're not going to get people to agree with you by being so judgmental and negative
@@mrs.h2725 Screw you, lady. You say I have no business owning pets, but I know that my cat would be absolutely depressed and miserable if she wasn't allowed to roam outside. Also, the study that is always cited about the number of birds killed is horribly flawed.
@@mrs.h2725 You are WRONG. The number is 40 BILLION per year.
@@phoenixlee7949 Yes, Mrs H is wrong. Cats don't kill 4 billion birds each year, they kill 40 BILLION in the US alone. THAT is negative. Not wanting hundreds of animals to go extinct so you can have your pet outside is a positive thing. You caring about tone more than billions of dead animals is what is negative.
George is sooooo cute and sweet, hope you have long healthy life George
I can relate, my neighbor’s cat thinks my house is his and comes every day morning and afternoon. He knows what time I will be home. Love him to bits 😻
I love George! It’s such an amazing bond cats pick their people. He is one pretty orange baby.
George is your morning alarm clock and he loves his neighbor❤️❤️. Such a sweet precious cat🥰🥰.
It's a privilege to be adopted by a cat!
George is telling you that he wants to live at your house. 😊
AMEN! Is that possible? Could you adopt him? I mean this in a nice way, nothing against your neighbor. George could be an indoor kitty and safer than outside all day. BEAUTIFUL CAT!🥰❤️🐈
@@sallywhite7678 some cats are happier outside and this guy seems perfectly happy and healthy.
@@hhin It’s really not up to the cat to decide if it should be let outside to roam a neighborhood or not. If you cherish your cat, YOU will decide to make it a “indoor only” kitty and keep it safe and protected. Believe me, it will be just as happy living inside once it gets used to it…OR maybe just don’t EVER let it outside at all when you first get it, then it will not have to get used to living indoors.
And yes, George is the sweetest boy, looking for love and affection from neighbors because obviously he’s not getting the attention he craves from his owners. 🐾🐾😻
Yes, I feel that is exactly what George is wanting.
We had a neighbor's amazing brown Labrador Retriever come and see us daily and spend all summer days with us in southcentral Alaska. We would send him home at night, but he would sneek back and sleep in the yard.
During the winter he would go home and we didn't see him until the next summer. After 2nd summer, my husband asked the neighbor if we could keep him. His answer was YES. We have happily been Chip's owner ever since. Animals know the people they want to be with. We are grateful 💗
YES!!!
Cats are best friend you can have, and this proves it.
Beautiful cat. I am super happy he has a family.
George made me incredibly happy even in this small video. Blessed with your orange neighbor!
I'm sorry to inform you but this handsome orange furball is no longer your neighbor's cat, but yours. respect george's choice
You are blessed to have this. We had a neighbours dog like that.
You have a wonderful Dad!! And George is lucky to have you, your dog, and Dad as his friends! George definitely needs you all in his life!!
George knows a "soft touch" when he sees it. It is clear that he loves you and you love him.
It's the energy of your house and your own vibe that keeps attracting him. Actually it is a cumpliment from George to you🙂
George is awesome and I can relate to her dad he seems like a cool good guy.
Well, this cat obviously loves & trusts you & your family ! . . . What a feeling it must be to know this beautiful cat has you in his heart ! . . .
AWWWWW George is a sweet boy who Loves you and Clearly LOVES your Father
your dad looks so healthy and fit. i'm so happy you have a wonderful relationship with him. i hope he finds his own shelter george 🙂
Years ago we lived in the country, and a momma car came in the driveway and we petted her and she would come over all the time. Since she was pregnant I made sure she was fed. And I came home one day and she wasn’t pregnant so I asked her momma where are your babies?? And I didn’t see her for a week or so. Then one morning I woke up to noises out on the deck, I opened the door and she had brought all her kittens, to show me them🤣she was so proud of them.
Ah this is so special. I love the way you just accept that he's now an adopted part of your family. Bless you. Your dog is just the cutest as well.
I LOVE your DAD! He is doing something I would do for sure! I hope he found his George! What a cute fluffy boy! So smart!
Seems like George picked a new owner! 😂❤❤❤ He is so pretty & unique!
Reminds me of Mariah, my neighbors cat. She and her sibling were left behind by previous owners. The community stepped up and takes care of her and other strays or abandoned cats. For some reason she has chosen me to visit every day. I enjoy her company. She feels safe here.
George is such a fluffy boy, I just want to give George hugs. He is adorable.
Such a big fluff ball🤗🧡 I think he wants to live with you. His momma definitely should be keeping him safe inside at night at the very least.
Everyone needs a friend just like George 🥰🥰
Such a nice story about George. Thank you for sharing ! Beautiful cat
I'm just dying of a headache - George made the last few minutes a little more bearable. 💜💜💜
Migraine? Just an awful disease. No fun and being very
productive some days is almost impossible. Hope you find a doc who will help you.
Feel better soon.🦋
@@maryshanley329 That's true... Thank you! 🌼
@@junepearl7993 Thanks June! 🌸 It finally is better now, so glad.
What a sweet and beautiful kitty...I'd love George visiting me!!
Maine Coons have a very sweet temperament. I have a Maine Coon and he's a wonderful buddy.
I had a Maine coon & he really was a buddy. Went everywhere with us, even traveling for work . He loved to travel & I woke up every morning to him under the blanket & his head on my pillow next to me. Once you experience a Maine coon, you never find another kitty like them.
You're so fortunate to have a cuddly friend like George. You seem like a dog person but a cat chose you which makes this whole situation so funny. I absolutely love everything about this.
What a beautiful friendship. Humans like this give me hope for the future.
I love you Dodo. You're just online passing out smiles.😊
George's owner is hella lucky someone caring is around during the day. Leaving him outside is pretty risky for a number of obvious reasons. Plus he is so friendly and handsome someone awful could just take him. I would not do this. He is happy and safe only because of this kind neighbor. Love how the dad was obsessed.😂
George is your Guardian Angel 😇. Maybe a deceased grandparent, relative or friend you were close to.
Oh my gosh… George is such a great cat!
You share custody of George with your neighbor, like I do with my neighbors dog! 🥰
Thank you for showing George love!Hes awesome!
