Tommy the cat is a local stray in the neighborhood who found a family he could call his own.
“It’s more like he adopted us, to be honest,” sympson2612 shared on reddit. “He started hanging around our deck/yard this past Summer, and eventually we started feeding him. Next thing we know we got him his shots, got him neutered, and now he owns every piece of furniture and every person in this house. I think that was his evil plan all along…. We may have made a terrible mistake. ;)”
They decided to take Tommy in and right away the children fell in love, especially the family’s young son.
