As people who feed stray cats on a pretty regular basis, we know the bond that can build between a human and a cat - just because of that one kind action. That's truly all it takes. Be nice to a stray cat, and the cat will show you love like you have never expected to get before. When that happens, it's not just the cat that bonds with the human who fed it, the human bonds just as hard. It's no surprise that, often, these stray cats will adopt the humans who fed them and that the humans are very happy about it.
That is pretty much what happened here - this couple fed this stray cat, let this cat come into their home for hours at a time. They bonded with this stray cat. Even their house cats bonded with it. The couple was preparing to adopt the cat, until one day, they found out that their neighbor, apparently, "claimed" the same kitty, and now… they have a dilemma to face.
