    Edit: PLEASE read the description. My cat Tiger ran away for over a week when I was younger, So I understand how painful it is to lose a furry friend. Which is why I did try my very best to see if he did have an owner. Also, this is a very short video that does not show 100% of everything that happened. So please don’t jump to any conclusions. Just know that Ollie is safe, healthy, and being loved by my family.
    Original comment: Thank you to everyone’s amazing and supportive words, it really means a lot to me. Just a little update on Ollie: he has been neutered and is flea free!! He is currently enjoying his time exploring the house, eating all the kitty kibble he can, snuggling up right next to me when I watch my shows, and occasionally playing with my other cat Mango. He is nice and healthy, and seems to enjoy living in his new home 😊 I’ll post another video in the future to show his new life with me!! Thank you all again for the support ❤️
    UPDATE: New Ollie video is up!!! :D

      That was my thought as well. I was 'chosen' by a stray cat once. A beautiful almost pure Siamese. I took her to the vet to get her fixed only to discover she had a prominent scar line from where she'd already had the surgery. That was nearly thirty years ago. I still miss that cat.
      The kitty I have now I found as a stray kitten living in a feral colony. She was being harassed by a tomcat; tom's will kill kittens, so I took her home. She was so flea riddled I could see them crawling on her; she is a black cat. Vet gave me some meds to take care of the fleas and I got her immunizations done. 17+ years later, she is still with me. :-)

    One day a cat appeared in front of my house, she stayed for a the day and explored all the rooms then she left. 2 weeks later she visited us again and decided to stay. Turns out she was abandoned by her former owners and lived on the streets for 3 years. She often chilled in my neighbours garden and watched us from a spot we couldn't see her (our neighbor told us). She inspected us if we would be good owners I guess. Now shes been with us for two years and I named her Max. I love her to death and couldn't imagine a life without her ♡

      The cats in my uni have similar behaviour, they don't have owners eat the food scraps (they love spicy chicken for some reason, they will only take a few bites of cat food when the canteen is not operating so there wasn't any food scraps available), they are feral but not their personality. People build cat food stations leave them treats from time to time, they will stare at you and walk away when they are not in the mood of having interactions with humans but when they want to they will ask for belly rub, sneak into room with their kittens to play.

Cats can roam a surprising number of miles in a day, but given the sore and scars, this cat has been away for quite some time. Presumably abandoned.

    When I was in college, I had a cat follow me home from the college campus. It showed up a few days later too, so I took him in. One of my room mates objected having the cat, so I asked my land lord if his daughter, who lost a cat the month before if his daughter wanted it. She was hesitant, because losing her last cat was painful, but finally decided to come and pick him up. The first words she said after she saw him was 'That's my cat'. She lived about 2/3's of a mile away from the campus. So, the cat that followed me home found his original owner.

      When I had to go for a week to another city and went to leave my cat to my brother’s house we misplaced the cat. He ended up hiding underneath the bowl of the w.c in the bathroom (where we put him to begin with). I panicked thinking he runaway somehow I started crying while my brother was looking for him. My dad ended up finding him u.u. It’s horrible thinking you lost your cat, I sympathize 💔

      When I lived in an apartment complex a really friendly cat walked up to me and since it was cold I let him stay. He liked to stay outside alot of the time so when I had to move he hadn't been home for weeks and he had to stay. I hope the other tenants are taking care of him.

I couldn't stop thinking about him so I stopped by on the way to work the next morning...he was there. I picked him up without a fight and put him in a carrier and my family grew by one. No regrets, whatsoever, he's the best cat, ever. I love him so much...and vice versa!

    No normal streetwise cat is that friendly. I'd say he was left behind when someone moved or he got out while they were moving and he hid and they couldnt find him. The other possibility is that someone drove him to the neighborhood and threw him out.
    He's very friendly, wasn't skinny, and only had relatively minor issues that an indoor cat will run into when stuck outdoors.
    Expect problems when he goes to be neutered. He will come home very l8kely without the scent your other cats have gotten used to. Cats identify by scent not visual. He will have meds put on him for surgery that over power his scent and he will pick up others animal scents from the vet. So when he comes home they may think hes an outsider. Very normal happens all the time and wears offin a few days. Or you can take a hand towel and wipe down Ollie then rub the towel on the other two cats. Rub down transfers scents so they all wind up smelling like each other and less freaking out.

    • @brigidtheirish

      His attitude is more of an indication than his weight. My cat will go days, even a week without me feeding him and he's a chubby little guy from all the hunting he does. Then again, we live on a farm.
      Good advice with the scent thing.

    Hi.. I'd just like to say that you have a very pleasant voice for narrating. The name of your channel is very cleaver. I'd like to start one but haven't a clue of what to call it.
    Thank you for giving Ollie a loving home. I'm cat crazy myself. I never stop learning something new about felines. They are truely amazing regal creatures. A lot of people have given cats a bad wrap. If they took the time to get to know them they'd probably change their mind. Life is so hard for strays and they don't live long either.
    Watching Ollie when you took him outside he definitely acted like he was lost and in strange surroundings. I think someone has just dumped him off in your neighborhood. It's a cruel and heartless thing to do to abandon your pet. It's a cowards way out of dealing with responsibility. Cats do choose their human. Ollie knew you were loving and kind. God bless you and also your parents for taking him in.

      Possibly. A friend's cat escaped and was lost for YEARS. Obviously, after a while he thought something bad happened and eventually moved on.
      One day a cat casually walked into his open garage. She was sweet. He liked her. It took him a few hours to realize this could be HIS cat. He had to grab a few old pictures to compare them and sure enough it was her!
      Cats (and dogs) have been to travel thousands of miles from an owner (go missing/get lost/escape from new owners, etc.) and make it back to the one's they love.
      In Oli's case he looks very happy and content to stay right where he is. 💗
