Newbies, take heed: this isn't the easiest feline to welcome into the fold. If you're all about the tiny fluff balls, check out adoption pages on WeChat or Weibo, or even Dajuecheng. Remember, borrowing money is like being a kid, while repaying it is like being a grandpa. Stay tuned!

But only those affectionate stray cats or kittens under four months old have the potential to become house cats. By house cat, I mean a cat that can adapt to a family environment.

They might not like your petting or comfort you when you're down, but they see you as just another face in the crowd...

My cat is a stray cat that I found wandering around at two years old. After feeding it for a while, it even brought its kittens to me.

Learn to understand them from their perspective, and you'll be able to communicate better with them. You can't love them like a person, but you can love them in a cat way.
