thank you -- you got a smile out of me today... that is the cutest picture...
I think the cat has figured out you're a soft touch and is making friends with you...
to take the cat to the shelter -- if you want to - -put it in a box.. with an air hole or two - it will be fine.. cat that cute will be adopted...
if you decide to keep it, take it to the vet and have it checked out - if it's a stray kitty it might have some problems that need taken care of...
What a sweet kitty
