Entitled Cats Unexpectedly Visit People In Places They Don't Belong
Cats have a talent for showing up exactly where they are not supposed to be, and that is half the fun. On social media, those surprise visits turn into instant entertainment, especially when the cat in question clearly acts like the place belongs to them.
This roundup is full of those moments, from porch visitors and kitchen crashers to neighborhood strays who seem to have adopted the nearest human on sight. Some of the cats are bold, some are clingy, and some look like they have already claimed the furniture.
By the end, it is hard to tell who is more surprised, the people or the cats. Read on.
1. "This Is My House And This Is What Greets Me When I Open My Front Door. We Have 2 Cats And This Is Not One Of Them"
Hello, precious.
2. "I Was Directed Here From Another Group. This Is Not My House; It's My Parents' New Neighbors' House. And This Is Definitely Not My Cat."
Oh... Oh my.
3. "My House. Not My Cat. It Only Took 10 Years, But One Of Our Long-Term Ferals We Have Cared For Just Crawled Into My Lap. I've Never Felt More Honored"
Patience is a virtue.
4. "3 Years Ago On Bonfire Night, This Void Yelled Out From The Void Of My Damn Walls/Roof. My Wall Vent, Not My Cat"
Images you can hear.
5. "Close To Midnight Five Years Ago, I Was Startled By The Pathetic Mewling Of An Unhappy Kitty"
From mew to meow.
6. "My House. My Porch. My Packages. Not My Cat. I Think This Is Part Of A New Program Through Amazon Prime... "Securikitteh". Because Nobody Messes With My Packages. N O B O D Y"
The best guardian of the packages.
7. "This Is Definitely Not My Cat, Even Though She Really, Really Acts Like It."
Dang.
8. "My House Not My Cat."
"Unless something changes and his owners are found... he is staying."

He is cozy.

This face, though, it's purr-fect.
11. "My Kitchen, Not My Cat. My Older Cat Escorted Him In Through The Kitty Door And Walked Him Over To The Food Bowl!"
A face no one could say no to.
12. "My House, My Bed, Not My Cat! This Is Max, A Ginger Cat That Belongs To My Neighbor, And He Came By To Watch Some TV With Me"
He has his priorities.
13. "My House’s Cat Bed, Not My Possum..."
Possum, the other cat.
14. "These Two Guys Are My Cat, Bubba’s, Friends. Including Brown Cat! (The Other One I Call Pip). But This Is His Crew. They’re Two Outside Stray Cats, Formed An Alliance With Mine And Have Been Patrolling The Hood Ever Since. Probably Longer Than I Realize"
The S Q U A D
15. "Intruder Alert"
Searching, searching, investigating.
16. "My Husband. Not My Cat. She Wandered In And Became Miss Steal Yo Man. This Was Last Night. She's Still Here Today... I Don't Think She Has Plans To Leave"
She's beautiful; she can definitely stay.
17. "Stanley Update!"
"To recap, Stanley was a stray who would visit the house to be fed. He sometimes would appear on the windowsill or the balcony."
18. "My House, Not My Cat (Or Sponge.) She Just Came Running Through The Garden And Into The House With This Thing In Her Mouth"
The hunter.
This is the same kind of entitlement as the mom who tried to poison her family’s cat, got caught, and was thrown out.

She's a smart one.
25. "So Sorry For Breaking The Rules (And This Will Be My Only Update, I Promise)—I Posted A Few Weeks Ago About The Feral Family Of Six That Are Taking Over My House (But Not My Cats). Today I Caught The Ferals Knotted Up On My Car Sleeping. Two Jumped Down Immediately, But The Rest Took Enough Time Out Of Their Busy Day To Give Me The Stink Eye. When They Feel Brave Enough To Do That, I Think That’s When They Officially Become Your Cats"
Sometimes "not my cat" becomes "forever my cat." It's even better when there's more than one.
26. "Again? I Do Not Own This Cat. I Do Not Know This Cat. I Do Not Know How This Cat Got In My House"
The visitor.

Who wouldn't be a sucker for this kitty?

What a stare.

So patient.
38. "My Neighbor Tagged Me In This Post Yesterday To Let Me Know That Her Cat Was Outside My Front Door Waiting For Me To Bring Her Out A Sheba. Her Cat Will Hound Me Relentlessly For Food Even Though She Has All The Food She Can Eat Right Next Door. I Love Hank So Much. (Yes, Hank Is A Girl!!)"
We love Hank the girl.
