The Stray Cat Who Found His Way Back Home
When Eleanor spotted a black-and-white tomcat sitting outside her sliding glass door, she couldn’t shake the feeling she’d seen him before. He wasn’t just another stray; something about him felt familiar.
The cat, later named Hank, surprised her by letting her pet him and trying to come inside. The next morning, he was still waiting at her door. After learning he was flea-infested and FIV positive, Eleanor and her partner decided to adopt him.
Weeks later, while scrolling through old videos, Eleanor realized the truth. Hank had appeared at her old apartment two years earlier. He’d somehow found his way back to her.
Now living safely indoors with his new family, Hank has traded street life for cuddles and comfort. “He’s turned out to be the floppiest, sweetest cat ever,” Eleanor said.
Why Cats Prefer You Over Their Bed
If your cat has ever curled up on your chest like it's the world’s coziest pillow, you’re not alone. Many cats choose their human’s chest as a go-to nap zone, and it’s not just for warmth.
Some cats do it to feel safe, while others want to be near your heartbeat. That soft, steady sound reminds them of kittenhood comfort, curled up with their littermates. It can also be a quiet way of saying: You’re my person.
Other times, it's just territorial. By lying on you, your cat might be marking you as theirs with scent glands in their paws and fur.
Whatever the reason, it’s a win-win. You get the comfort of a warm, purring weight on your chest, and your cat gets a comfortable napping spot.
Myth: Pet insurance doesn’t cover everything
Many pet owners worry that insurance won’t cover everything, especially routine care or pre-existing conditions. While that’s true in many cases, most insurers now offer wellness add-ons for preventive care like vaccines, dental cleanings, and check-ups, giving you more complete coverage. View Money’s pet insurance list to find plans for as low as $10 a month.

Cat of the Day: Venus
Meet Venus, a spirited 3-year-old tortie with a personality as bold as her name. She’s the ultimate lap cat when it’s just family around, but she turns into a master of hide-and-seek the moment visitors arrive.
Venus loves to chase lasers, bat at anything that moves across the floor, and, much to her family’s amusement, open drawers and cabinets. With her cute little meow and love of being brushed, she’s equal parts mischievous and affectionate.
She shares her home (and plenty of adventures) with her littermate sister, Aphrodite.
