The Rule you follow when you see a cat in the street. · 5:49pm Jan 14th, 2020
If you're like me and you've got a case of The Fluffies, you're naturally unable to not go over and stroke a cat that you see on the path on the same side of the street you're walking on.
I was waiting with a friend and chatting with him for a while around the back of college for his mother to come and pick him up. A tabby cat came up to us and my friend, not wishing to partake, didn't stroke it. Me, however, I rubbed it behind the ears and the cat decided it wanted more love. I began rubbing its ears and its back and eventually its belly once it began to roll around on the floor so I could give it a belly rub.
If you have friends like mine, we had a friend that we liked to call Jesus (No, not the one from The Bible, but an actual person who's nickname arose after a hilarious joke in maths) that showed up and began to chat with us. By then, the cat had gone to the other side of the street, and the second Jesus saw it, he points and shouts, ''PUSSY!'' very loudly.
That's why I've got a friend in Jesus. 
(Man, my friends are / were always a laugh to hang out with. Good times.)
I avoid any potential strays. They would likely have fleas or some diseases.

It wasn't a stray. It belonged to someone on that street, I see it all the time, and you can tell it has an owner because it had a collar.
I actually have befriended two of my neighbors cats to the point I have to run away from them so they don't follow me home
