Awww, congratulations! We have a kitty name Tiger in our neighborhood. When the days are nice enough that we will have the sliding doors open with just a screen, he will often come to the screen and Mrow Mrow Mrow until I send Paul over to pet him. Sometimes he wants food, but sometimes just petting. In the cooler weather when I am wearing gloves, I can pet him when I go to get the mail, but as I am horribly allergic to cats, I cannot pat him without something between his fur and my skin. Thankfully, Paul is not only willing, but a good kitty friend, and doles out skritches and rubs until Tiger decides he's had enough, and moves on, probably to the next open door to meow at them!

We know where he lives, his people keep the garage door open just enough for him to slip in and out, and he has a collar and is not overweight, so giving him some leftover ham or turkey shouldn't hurt him!
