For the past week or so this cat has been visiting us daily. I don't think he's a stray; when I put out a little bit of food and water just in case he wasn't very interested, just nibbled here and there. But every time I come out he meows at me and circles me, rubbing up against me and when I sit down he'll often climb into my lap and curl up, purring happily. And when I go back inside he'll meow at me from the window for a few minutes before laying by the back door (he leaves eventually, but always comes back every now and then.
I also have a cat, Henry that goes in the backyard in the morning. The other cat seems very interested in Henry; he'll trot after him and mew at him, and even though Henry is clearly displeased with it, he (the other cat) will just sit/lay down in front of Henry and watch him even if Henry starts to hiss. (Don't worry, I never leave them alone). And if Henry's inside he'll mew at him through the window-- until Henry or, more often than not, Callie (my other cat) hisses and hits the window with her paw.
Anyway.. I'm just wondering why this cat randomly showed up and is so persistent? Are his owners out of town maybe? I've never encountered a more affectionate cat (he seemed quite trusting/non-skittish from the start). Just not sure what to do I guess..
Here's a picture, by the way (he's gorgeous)--http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/2189/dfsdg1qz6.png
