This is Claude, a beautiful cat I met on my trip to the U.K. 

Two of the people I visited in the UK had cats hanging around their gardens that they said were neighbo(u)r’s cats, but that they fed and talked to, and in one case it came indoors and sat on the person’s lap, etc. Having more than one home and owner and caretaker seems to be a thing with cats in the U.K.!

i think that because our houses are closer together here, cats can easily wander into the neighbour’s gardens and houses and end up with like ten different owners that feed them and give them cuddles. for ages i thought one of the cats on my street lived in the house two doors down from me, but he actually lived in one of the other houses right next to his favourite hangout spot. i’ve known a lot of people who didn’t actually get their cats from anywhere, but instead the cat would just show up and walk into their house and stay there lol.
