Feral Cat Bob Unofficially Adopts Human As His Food Provider

This is Bob. Bob sits on the porch and meows very early every morning until I go out and fill food bowls. Some days Bob taps on the door with his paw so I will move faster. Bob is NOT my cat. I don't have a cat. Bob is feral and doesn't let me touch him....yet. I am only allowed to feed him

The meme is a single static image composed of a text block above a photograph. The text shares a lighthearted, relatable story about a feral cat named Bob, who shows up at the poster's porch very early every morning to meow until the poster fills his food bowl, sometimes tapping the door with his paw to urge the poster to move faster. The text clarifies that Bob is not the poster's cat, they do not own any cat at all, Bob is feral and will not allow them to touch him yet, only permitting them to feed him. The photograph below shows the tabby cat Bob sitting upright on a concrete porch step, looking directly at the camera with a neutral, stoic, slightly expectant expression, with gravel ground and dry plants visible in the background. The humor and charm come from the relatable premise of a stray cat unofficially claiming a human as their caregiver even if the human had no prior intention of adopting a pet.
