Pete’s been the heartbeat of the neighborhood since his kitten days. With his sleek black fur and playful green eyes, he’s known for his wanderlust, always exploring new corners and making new friends throughout the block.
His insatiable curiosity and friendly demeanor have endeared him to everyone he meets, earning him a special place in the neighborhood. His owner, Megan Holley, shared in an interview:
“I’d get neighbors telling me he showed up on their front porch to nap and get some pets before coming home.”
Recently, Megan discovered a surprising secret about Pete: he’d charmed seven families to adopt him!
She found out about his other homes when one neighbor, puzzled by Pete’s frequent visits, shared footage from her Ring doorbell, as Megan explained:
“She’d been feeding him for almost two weeks and giving him attention. After that, several other neighbors on that street said they’d been feeding him too or giving him treats.”
Pete’s secret life was finally out in the open – he’d been living the high life, enjoying multiple meals a day, indulging in endless treats, and receiving bedtime stories and pampering sessions from various households.
Despite Megan’s attempts to clarify Pete’s true living situation, the neighbors couldn’t resist his charm and continued to spoil him. It seems this clever kitty has the entire block under his spell, even their pets!
Recently, Pete found a new partner for his escapades, a fellow cat from a nearby street. Megan recounted their budding friendship:
“They’d come over for snacks and then wander off to explore together. Sometimes, I’d get messages from neighbors saying they’d seen the two cats lounging in a sunny spot or playing around.”
Pete’s daily routine is a perfect blend of adventure and affection. Every morning, he faithfully stops by the bus stop to greet the middle and high school kids, relishing their morning pets.
In the afternoons, he is back to welcome them off the bus, ensuring he gets his share of hugs and head scratches.
Despite his status as the neighborhood’s unofficial mayor, at home, Pete is just a big baby who loves being cradled and carried around by Megan. However, he isn’t thrilled when his multiple homes are exposed, fearing it might end his extra pampering.
When caught, Pete gives a guilty look that’s impossible to resist. Megan shares with a laugh:
“Usually when I catch Pete at other houses is when I’m driving home, and I’ll roll down the window and call his name. He looks at me like he’s been caught, then comes over to my car and hops on in for a car ride home.”
Pete’s charm is undeniable, and it seems he’ll continue to use his magic to secure extra food, treats, and love for as long as he can. After all, a cat with such charisma and adventurous spirit deserves nothing less than the royal treatment!
