That summer I spent a lot of time after sunset sitting on the porch to cool off.
One night a ‘stray’ cat showed up and, wanting to be friendly, I got it something to eat.

Naturally the cat showed up every night after that.

About two weeks later I was talking with the next door neighbor over our shared fence when she told me she didn’t know why, but her indoor/outdoor cat had recently gained a lot of weight.

I stopped feeding the cat, and the cat stopped visiting me.

(Guess my stunning personality wasn’t the cat’s attraction)
