Christine Gray was just finishing her shopping at a garden store and getting ready to go home when she noticed a cat. “He was just sitting there,” Gray says.

“The owner came up and said, ‘That is Boots. He is friendly and will probably jump into your cart.’ As soon as the owner said that, he jumped right in and cuddled up on my purse.”

The woman was delighted that Boots had chosen her and instantly knew that she wouldn’t be leaving until Boots lets her. After all, Boots had politely asked her to stay, and she was going to respect the charming cat’s wishes.

Gray gladly gave Boots a ride around the store in her cart, and the delightful cat seemed to enjoy the ride very much.

She didn’t really know how long will the cat stick around, and even though she was done shopping, she still kind of hoped he wouldn’t leave yet.
“He was very happy to be in my cart and let me pet him,” Gray says. “I tried to also not pet him too much to annoy him, as I didn’t want him to jump back out.”
