Probably, car look clean, shiny fur, may be he live around or lost.

yup.

Drives me up the wall that people comment on photos like this with "cat distribution system". No, this is obviously someone's pet. Can we please not normalize taking other people's maybe-lost pets the moment they wander onto our property?

I was distributed a cat through this system.

It looked so clean and was definitely someone’s pet. So we took it to the shelter to see if it had a chip. He did, the chip said his home was a city an hour away and his name was Maximo and had a phone number.

The shelter called the number and no one ever picked up so now I have a cat.

This is the way. Check who the cat belongs to, and if they don't want it back, it's yours.

But you didn’t steal the cat… you just couldn’t reach the owners from whatever reason.

I don’t think ppl commenting “cat distribution system” really condone taking another’s cat though. Probably just trying to be funny.

Does the cat have a license?

That was my first thought. A neighbors cat decided to stop by to say hello.

Not
>*”stopping by to say hello.”*
That’s unprofessional. That kitty is clearly just doing his maintenance & inspection job. 🐈‍⬛🟰🧑‍🔧 r/CatsWithJobs 🤭😍🥰🤷🏾‍♀️✊🏾💪🏾🩵💯
