I came across the coolest idea recently!
It is called the Random Cat Project. From their website:
"Here at the Random Cat Project we know that when a cat crosses our path, it’s always lucky. Nothing enlivens a stroll like a chance encounter with a friendly feline, so we’ve been recording our random meetings with cats unknown for years now in photos and videos, and we want to add your Random Cat Encounters too. So if a furry, purry friend crosses your path, send us a video or a pic!"
The website chronicles meetings with random cats from all over the world. People have sent in photos, videos, and stories. It is so fun to see the stories! I got to thinking about how often we bump into random cats around here. It seems there are quite a few wandering cats. Many of them are friendly and want pets. I haven't taken any photos yet, but I think I will, and submit them to the Random Cat Project!
Have you encountered a random cat recently?

What a fun idea! I do like it when I come across a cat on a walk or when traveling. I guess my own cats aren't random, at least not to me. Maybe to someone else. ;-) I'll have to check out the website.

I love this idea. It's funny to think that what is a random cat to one person might be a beloved pet to another! Sort of like us as people...when we're out in the world, we seem "random" to others, but we belong somewhere!
I know most of the cats I see in my neighborhood. We don't have many outdoor cats because we have many, many foxes and coyotes. Not a good place for cats, random or otherwise!

Hi Tammy and Vet Wisdom Team,
Thanks so much for blogging about our little project! It's much appreciated. And of course for all of those reading - we'd love your submissions of random cats to the site!

I just love this idea! Sadly, I've not encountered any cats lately but I always consider it to be a good omen when I do. Thanks for sharing!
