There was also talk of " eventually " catching him and getting him adopted . Well , I tell ya , there is no guarantee that there will ever be an " eventually " for a stray and the busy main street nearby made that possibility even less likely . I knew that not matter how much he may have been clinging to the bushes so far , it was only a matter of time before something scared him enough to send him shooting out into traffic . And after Horatio , I just could n't turn my back on that possibility . All that talk about " eventually " and how " nobody could really get near him " ... amateurs .

Question: What may have caused you to adopt the stray ?
Answer: It had a bad home .None of the above choices .It had no home .It almost got hit in the traffic .
