Came here to say this. Pretty much all the cats I've lived with just walked in off the street and acted like they've always lived with me.

My cats were both the result of girlfriends tricking me into them ("we'll just go to the shelter to look at cats" and "just come over and see her, you don't have to adopt her"). 18 years with each of them (the cats, not the girlfriends) and I wouldn't trade those years for anything. I'll have cats again some day but right now I can't.
