15 People Share Photos Of Cats That Unexpectedly Showed Up In Their Homes
Cats have a talent for showing up exactly where they are not supposed to be, and these photos prove it. One minute a home is perfectly ordinary, the next it has a surprise visitor curled up on the bed, the couch, or even in the kitchen.
The people in this roundup did not plan on hosting a neighbor’s cat, a stray, or a very confident wanderer, but that did not stop the animals from making themselves comfortable. The result is a collection of funny, adorable, and slightly chaotic moments shared by members of the Facebook group “My House, Not My Cat.”
Here are 15 photos of cats that unexpectedly showed up and acted like they belonged there all along.
1. “This is my glass of water, this is my house, this is not my cat drinking my water in my house; this is my neighbor’s cat, Ted!”
2. “First photo: this was not my cat. He just entered my house and slept in my bed.
“Second photo: now he climbs on me. Third photo: he’s definitely my cat now.”
3. “This is Mr. Black. He is our neighbor’s cat who visits us every day. He is NOT ours, but he thinks he is!”
4. “My mom sent me this. Neither of these cats belongs to my parents.”
Some of these cats wasted no time making themselves at home.
5. “I went to my kitchen to get my laundry out of the machine and feed my cats, but I walked into five cats in my kitchen. I only have three!”
6. “I do have a cat; he’s the cat on the left. The cat on the right is not my cat.
“He would very much like to be my cat. I would also like him to be my cat. My actual cat disagrees with all of this, and so do his owners.”
7. “I opened my front door today, and a flea-covered cuddly sweetheart came RUNNING in!
“Update! SHE HAD A CHIP! Her family lost her almost two years ago! Mom was in TEARS. I’m so very selfishly sad, but I just made a whole family incredibly happy.”
That kind of confidence is hard to ignore.
This is similar to the missing cat that showed up on a balcony and sparked a neighborhood fight.
8. “This gorgeous boy ‘lives’ three houses down.”
“He’s not allowed inside his house and is always outside roaming, day or night. So now ‘Carl’ enjoys the good life at our place.”
9. “This is Swirl, who was my cat; the kitten is not.
“He loved kittens and would steal people’s kittens and bring them home. He’s no longer with us, so I miss those days of coming home to a random kitten in the house.”
10. “My baby’s bassinet, not my cat.”
11. “My stroller, not my cat. This is Ralph. Ralph decided he wanted to hitch a ride around the neighborhood.
Ralph clearly had places to be.
12. “I gave this guy a piece of bacon on my way home from the bar last night. He followed me ten blocks home. This is how I woke up.”
13. “My girlfriend asked me why I put a white cat in our laundry room; I didn’t know what she was talking about, so I sent her the picture.
“I fell in love with the cat; the cat is now part of the family.”
14.
15. “Crumpet sits on my decking each and every morning and stares through the door, awaiting his daily tribute.”
Some visitors are clearly planning to stay awhile.
16. “I came home yesterday to find that Santa left this black kitty on my balcony… who then proceeded to give birth to seven little beans.”
