Affectionate Cat<3

I still think about this cat that resembles a tiger. That my bestie and I encountered a few months back. Her and I were in Mississippi. We were walking by houses at night. When all of a sudden, a gray cat with black stripes approaches my bestie. I was iffy about cats, so I stepped off of the sidewalk. The sweet cat rubbed its head against my besties' ankle. This reaction pulled at my heart strings. So with no hesitation, I stepped onto the sidewalk. The cat comes to me and rubs its head on my cargo pants. Where my ankle is. This cat tried to climb onto my pants leg too! I was in awe. Everywhere we walked, the cat followed us. No questions asked. I felt as if the cat was our guardian angel! The cat even followed us to my car! I regret not taking it home with me! On the bright side, I took pics & video!
