Beautiful!
I think you should consider the finder’s the keep logic! Especially if the rightful owner doesn’t care.

I would speak to the owners before you start letting Garfield eat your food. Our old neighbours started feeding our cats, then the cats would expect it, so would go meowing at their window every morning. Then the neighbours thought that we didn't take care of our cats and basically tried to steal them from us.
Cats will eat where there's food and hang where there's friends. You might be more available for cuddles at certain times of day, but all that does is discourage the cat from going home to it's owner. Of course if you speak to them and it's chill then go ahead, but as someone who has experienced a similar sounding situation from the other side, best to ask.

Garfield. Not our cat but spends most of the day at our house, playing with our two, eating a shed load of food, sleeping and causing mayhem. Has been coming round for a few months now, finally found out his name and where he lives (from another neighbour) which is a few houses down the road; seems the owners don't a flying fuck about his whereabouts as he is often at our place from 7am til midnight. He uses our cat flap, stays in our house and our/immediate neighbour's garden with our two, doesn't seem to want to go home until late at night. Was also very scared of being touched when he first started coming round, he was only a big kitten really and would flinch when you went to stroke him. He is not shy of other people but only in that he doesn't run away, he does not rub his head on your legs and I have never heard him purr but he will let us stroke him now and can be very playful with toys, so I think he is slowly learning affection.
