We have a cat now

Image
We'd been feeding her for a few weeks and one day she let me stroke her while she was eating. After that, she started following us around everywhere and took up residence on the terrace where she sits staring in at the door and rubs against our legs to be stroked whenever we go outside. She now has a basket by the door which we packed with old jumpers and she took to it immediately which makes us think she was previously a house cat.
