All domestic cats, including feral, stray, and pet cats, are members of the same species. However, stray cats and feral cats differ greatly from one another in their interactions and relationships with humans.

Knowing the difference can help you decide how to interact with a cat or what if any, intervention would be in each cat's best interests. This is regardless of whether you work in a shelter, are a vet, a cat advocate, or simply live in a neighborhood with community cats.

Perhaps, while a stray cat may be sufficiently socialized to allow human contact, if it goes too long without engaging in constructive human interaction, she may lose that socialization and perhaps go feral. A stray cat can revert to being a pet cat under the correct conditions, and the OP in today's story made it happen.

 The OP shared how she has been feeding this stray cat in front of her workplace for weeks now. The cat is very affectionate with the OP and her colleagues. The OP has even asked the shops around, and they all said that he's a stray. The OP managed to find someone who is willing to adopt him, but the security guard at her workplace won't let her take him, claiming he wants to keep the cat there to chase away the mice.

So now, the OP is asking...

The OP have asked the shops around and they all said that he's a stray

The security guard at the OP's place made a scene and yelled at her

The OP took the chance and put the cat in the carrier

The security guard kept using bad words to talk about how the OP took the cat away

The Reddit post got hundreds of comments and here are some of the top ones

He has no right to keep it there or stop the OP from taking it

The security can definitely stuff his opinion up his a**

The cat now has a chance at feeling loved and safe at a new home

The security guard is the AH here

The OP should definitely pay no mind to dolts

The cat needs to have somewhere dry and safe to sleep

Not all cats are good hunters

No one mentioned the cat belonging to the company

The cat was doing nothing productive

The building should buy traps if it's a problem

This Redditor has revealed where the post actually belongs to

Making sure the OP follows the city's procedures for pet adoption

There was no pressing need to rehome the cat

You made the right decision and did the right thing

The amount of audacity

Stray cats once resided indoors and had socialization from humans but have lost their home, been abandoned, or is otherwise no longer in regular touch with humans. As their interaction with people decreases over time, a stray cat may turn wild.

But the stray cat in today's story was lucky enough to find a new home, all thanks to the OP. In the end, she was declared not the AH.
