Redditors with cats, why did you adopt yours?

I went to the shelter specifically looking for a certain type of cat. My mom had an abbysinian years ago and he was really awesome. Straightaway I see this guy with that trademark mountain lion coloration and he’s looking straight at me. I ask if I can take a look at him and when they hand him to me he immediately climbs up onto my shoulder and goes to sleep!

TL:DR My cat adopted me I think
