You’re babysitting someone’s kids, but their cat keeps staring at you. So you call the kids’ parents and ask them what’s up with their catto. They tell you to get the kids and run because they don’t have a cat! While nowhere near as dramatic as my take of a classic short horror story, a surprising number of people have had unknown cats mosey into their homes.

The ‘My House, Not My Cat’ Facebook group is the perfect place for people to share fun and funny photos of unfamiliar felines claiming dominion over their property. The community has grown 30k members since being founded in October 2016. But enough talk—time for some cat pics. That’s why you came here, isn’t it, dear Pandas? Get ready to scroll and remember to upvote your fave images. And be sure to check out Bored Panda's newest interview with the founder of the group, Stevie Holcomb, below.

Need some more photos of cats that totally aren’t yours? Check out Bored Panda’s previous article about the wholesome community right over here when you're done petting all of the cats in this list.

Founder Stevie was over the moon with joy that the "My House, Not My Cat" group reached over 30k members. According to her, the last time Bored Panda published an article about the page, there were around 20k members. A 50 percent increase is nothing to laugh at—it's wonderful news.

Stevie said that every time that she logs into Facebook (that's around once an hour), there are always one or two posts waiting for her to moderate. "With 7 admins and mods that’s quite a lot," she said. Since Bored Panda’s last article about the Facebook group in July, the number of moderators and administrators has increased from 3 to 7 as the community has grown.

The founder also revealed to Bored Panda that the community has become more close-knit during the lockdown. "People love the group. There’s no way we could get rid of it. It’s amazing how many people get cat visitors."

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.

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.

Last week we found him in front of the house, something terrible had happened to him so we brought him to the vet. The vet had to remove his eye. He's been recuperating in our spare room since. Yesterday I brought him back to the vet to have his stitches removed, get him neutered and updated on vaccines, deworming etc. The vet said he's healing up really well and that he's put on weight! He's wearing a shirt because he kept licking the anti tick and flea meds on his nape (he doesn't seem to mind at all, he's walking around like he wears shirts everyday).
We have decided to keep him, he'll never be allowed outside again. He's such a sweet cat, he loooves belly rubs and doesn't bite. Next step is to introduce him to our sassy tortie girl.
Please tell him how hambsome he looks

Stevie shared some of the group's plans for 2021, too. She said that they'll keep "moving along" like they have been. But before we ring in the New Year, she says there's something pleasant waiting for all the members of the group: "We have a surprise for Christmas—a 'gift' from the admins and a special thread just for the members. We just hope more people get mystery cats!"

Finally, the founder said that all posts either meet the criteria set out on the group page or they don't. There's rarely a gray area. "If they don’t, it’s usually because of rule 5 (has to be your experience, your house and not your cat) or rule 2 (no viral content, fundraising, etc.)."

This Is My Patio And My Budgie, But Not My Cat

This Is My Patio And My Budgie, But Not My Cat

He showed up one spring hoping to mate with my two girl cats. But my girls are fixed and are permanently not in “the mood”. After breaking into my house, eating all the cat food and spraying, I looked into taking him to the Cats Home. They said he would most likely be put down as they felt he might not be easily adopted. So I decided to keep him. I buttered him up with food until I could pet him and booked him in with the vet to be neutered and microchiped. His name is Oskar and he’s been with us for 6 years.

Stevie previously told Bored Panda that she founded the group after seeing meme after meme about cats in other people’s homes popping up all over the net. She thought they were brilliant. After a bit of research, she saw that nobody had created a group for cats that let themselves in through open windows and doggie doors, so she took charge and made one.

What’s more, Stevie recently posted that the number of submissions has increased to the point that they’ll have to be much more selective on what gets featured. So we can expect even higher-quality posts in the future.

Earlier, Stevie said that a lot of people have the misconception that strange cats won’t ever wander into their homes. But then life surprises them and there you go—they’ve got a feline to take a photo of and post to the ‘My House, Not My Cat’ Facebook page.

This Baby Kitty Was Not Our Cat

This Baby Kitty Was Not Our Cat

She followed my daughter home from the neighborhood store, walked right in the house and snuggled up. She pretended to be sweet, loving and cuddly. After one week of searching for her owner, we figured we would keep her. She must have used her spidey sense because she went from being a loving sweet kitty to a holy terror of a devil cat. She brings in at least one dead bird a day, body slams our other cats, smacks the dog, and will eat anything and everything you might leave on the counter. She has even jumped into the oven and we found her inside the refrigerator once. She wasn't our cat, but she made sure she ended up being our cat.

My House Not My Cat

My House Not My Cat

I have cried for the last 3 days. I have never been a cat person. I grew apparently VERY attached to my not my cat. I have bought him cat toys and a giant kitty tower. He went missing 4 days ago. I have cried since day 2. I have kitty kittied and walked my property so many times. Yesterday I broke and sobbed just knowing something had ate him. I checked at 2 AM for the probably 20th time to see of he was home...nothing. This morning I cried again...my not my cat came home!!! He ate his food like he was starving and then chattered and meow at me like I never fed him. I see now how humans become cat slaves...there has to be a magical bond somewhere.

This very young stray started visiting our yard this summer. Her visits became occurring daily; it became obvious she was spending nights there, too. Then she gave birth to 4 kittens under the porch. Soon she moved them into the garage. Next she started bringing them onto the porch . . . then into the kitchen . . . . then one day I woke up from a nap, and there they all were. I don’t think they plan on leaving.

Close To Midnight Five Years Ago, I Was Startled By The Pathetic Mewling Of An Unhappy Kitty

Close To Midnight Five Years Ago, I Was Startled By The Pathetic Mewling Of An Unhappy Kitty

My husband and I went all over our house, opening cabinet and closet doors in an attempt to free whichever kitty of ours had managed to trap his or herself. According to the vet, kitty was malnourished and suffering from ringworm on her ears. She was so young that she still had her milk teeth. In order to treat the ringworm, we had to massage an ointment all over her ears AND let it set for 15 minutes before washing it off. All without her messing with it. This is when I learned she was so freaking tiny that I could plop her entire body into a Crown Royal bag, gently draw the string just over her shoulders, treat her ears, and keep her safe, snug, and still until it was time to wash off the goo and let her free. Five years, and a lot of love later, her fur grew back and she fluffed up, though she's still rather diminutive for a full grown cat. Today, Not My Cat is now my beloved MoonShine.

This Is Our House. Not Our Cat

Some one dumped a little tabby cat outside our house. He was hiding under the car next to the road. Meowing very loud. Much to the horror my my other two older cats. I went out, got on my hands and knees and meowed back to the little kitten for 30 mins. He eventually came out and inside. He was so skinny. Gave him some mushed cat food and watered down milk. We went to bed thinking he would be gone out the cat door. 2 minutes later he was on the bed.

My Bed. Not My Cat

This is Tiger. He lives nearby me. He has humans, but they don’t take great care of him. He was attacked by an animal and developed an abscess on his head which I treated a few months ago, and he began spending more and more time bouncing between my porch and my neighbors’. Someone set out a bed for him. I began giving him wet food and flea treating him. Finally, I bit the bullet and got him combo tested to make sure he was safe to allow around my two cats— negative for everything. So...maybe he’s part-time my cat.

Olive is my neighbors cat who has a raspy smokers meow.

She Is Ours Now, But Originally She Wasn’t

She showed up at the neighbors, wouldn’t let anyone approach her and was in danger from their dogs. Neighbor asked if I could look and see if it was one we lost a few months back, not even close. She did however let me approach and let me pick her up, she hissed when anyone else came close. So I decided I’d take her home and would take her to see if she was chipped in the morning. My husband had requested loudly no new animals so I was going to have toleave her at the shelter. Next morning my mom called, a mass in her neck was possibly cancer, again. I called hubby who was at scout camp let him know what was going on and that I was out the door to drop off the cat who slept on me all night purring. He changed his mind and told me if no chip to bring her home, if my mom was sick, he felt I’d need this fur baby. At the shelter she hissed and yowled at everyone, until I held her again. No chip, two weeks later we got results mom was fine. But I got Berkeley. I needed her as much as she needed me. I had a stroke 4 months later and she has been a huge blessing.

My House, Not My Cat

My House, Not My Cat

This handsome fella was clearly living in my house, without my knowledge for a while. My cat is a Turkish Van and has a very distinctive, deep and loud meow. I started hearing a different meow, for 10 days I thought I was going crazy. Then I spotted this... Which then progressed to joining me for petting. I took him to the vet. He is microchipped. He came from approx 10 miles away. Turns out the owners, told my vet, they rescued him from the shelter, he hides from them behind the washing machine, they don’t like him, and now don’t want him. So.... He’s now my cat and he loves my dogs as well as us.

Our House, Not Our Cat, But We Just Had To Keep Him. Meet Biggy

Our House, Not Our Cat, But We Just Had To Keep Him. Meet Biggy

That's not his birth name, but he answers to it now. We saw this beautiful big-faced tabby hanging out in the backyard. It wasn't long before he discovered he could come over for a meal. He took up residence on our back porch. Not two weeks later, we had to take him to the vet because he had a urinary blockage. They did a procedure andl kept him there two nights for observation. He ended up costing us $1000 altogether. After that, we decided to let him in. We paid enough for him, after all. Turned out to be the best cat we ever had. He's very affectionate and loyal, and he gets along great with our three poodles. He goes outside to pee, just like a dog. And last week, when my wife took our dog, Collin, for a walk, Biggy followed right along. We expect soon he will start barking.

That’s how we ended up with our Smudgy. She came into our yard at 4 months old and already a tough street cat. She befriended my husband by keeping him company while he worked in his garage shop. He built her a little house to sleep in! When the “cathouse” (yeah I know what that’s a colloquialism for) got overrun by mice, followed by her running off for several days, we decided she would be a housecat. She initially loved our male cat but didn’t get along with our other female cat, Lucy, but they finally made up and tolerated each other—-especially when other kittens came into the house. Lucy died a few years ago, so now Smudgy is the undisputed queen of the house and adopted mama of all newcomer kittens and the dog (who arrived a few years after she did).

This Beautiful Girl Came With Our House. We Bought Our House Sight Unseen 2 Years Ago

We drove 2 days and when we got here we were exhausted. Brought in our mattresses and our animals. We left to get some food in us and when we came back we saw her just milling around. We live in a rural area so we thought she was some barn cat on the prowl. Couple days pass and we've all seen her here. I've set out food and water for the strays like I do at every home. Some lady pulls into the driveway and asked if we've seen a cat. We said yeah we have. She said it was hers but she didn't want to move with her. Well my husband had fallen in love with her. I told the lady we'll keep her cause she loves sitting outside with my husband. It took almost the 2 yrs but here she is in the house with minimal fighting with my inside only cats. Her name is Mac after Professor McGonagall. Hubby says she looks like the cat she changes into. So my house wasn't my cat. She is now though.

We then hung out for the rest of the night and I got 0 unpacking done, much to the disapproval of my boyfriend. I’ve been calling her Pretty Kitty and she is now the Queen of my house.

Our Wheelchair, Not Our Cats

Our Wheelchair, Not Our Cats

Ok so me and my child we went to the park today, it all started when my daughter wanted to sit on the bench for a bit, a little bit later a tiny kitten came out of the bushes and we were thrilled - obviously- so after playing with her a bit, the lil kitty decided to try out my daughter's wheelchair which she thankfully found to be comfy, few minutes later her sister joined and in a minute or two we had their mommy (I think?) Joining the party. So the three settled in but then a fourth cat came out of the blue too and joined, so now we have a family of 4 adorable felines who decided this is gonna be their bed for the afternoon nap. honestly we felt like intruders so we had to remove all our stuff from the chair to make a space for the new owners and in the last pic, a huge crow joined us but only watching from a distance. Oh and I forgot to say, the two tiny kittens discovered my lap, my shoulder and my head eventually; so I can safely say that it was the best day ever.

My House, Didn’t Used To Be My Cat

My house, didn’t used to be my cat. This is Red. He wandered in to a motel room where we were staying while on a roadtrip. He got in the shower with my husband. We had no idea he was in the room until he was hanging next to the soap. I took cute photos (before smart phones so not sure where they are) and figured he would be on his way. I looked around outside for an owner. We were right next to the freeway so I was really concerned. I found his owner who couldn’t have cared less about him. She said if I thought he was so great I should just take him. He had a leash and was trained to pee at rest stops. He hopped in the car with us and happily rode for another 600 miles until we got home. He’s been my special guy for 15 years now

My Apartment, Not My Cat (At The Time!)

On April 20th I heard a meow outside my window, so I thought it might be a neighbors cat sitting on a windowsill. I started meowing back cause I’m a dork. Turns out it was a cat right outside our staircase! So I went outside to see and as soon as this little one saw me, she came right up to me. She was so affectionate from the beginning. My cat hated her so we had to keep them separate. We called in the police to make sure we found her home if she did have one. A couple days later we found out that no one came looking for her, so we took her! Meet MJ, the cat that absolutely chose us

I feel you. higher up I told about a cat my son discovered. Took a few months to win over his trust. Last week he gently strolled into our house and jumped onto my son's bed. Of course I let him stay. The next morning I got a very dead mouse on the loose carpet in the kitchen where I stand when I prepare food. I suppose that was a thank you present.

I was recovering from major surgery about a year ago and couldn't get out of bed without assistance. My home help nurse had gone to the chemist to get my scripts filled, and while she was gone I heard meowing INCESSANTLY from outside the front door. Had no idea whose cat or why, I figured it must be a siamese or other very vocal cat (I was wrong). Home help nurse came home and said btw I let your cat in, he was out the front. Ummmm, says I, we don't have a cat!?!? He wandered in like he owned the place, and flopped down on the kitchen floor. Nurse helped me out of bed and I got this pic in case someone was looking for him, to post in local Facebook groups. What a beautiful ragdoll!

My House, Not My Cat (Yet)

My House, Not My Cat (Yet)

My fiance and I just moved into an apartment a few weeks ago and two days ago this guy came running up to us in the parking lot, meowing and ramming his head into us. He followed us inside and quickly made himself at home! He's slept on my fiance's feet both nights and is already using our other cat's litter box (his is ordered and should be here today). Yesterday, he started scratching vigorously at my daughter's bedroom door. We let him in her room and he went to a spot in the corner and kept sniffing around and crying. Then he napped on her bed for several hours. We believe he belonged to the previous tenants and was abandoned when they moved out. We took him to see if he's chipped, which he's not, and posted in a bunch of local Facebook groups. For now, he's just kinda making himself at home. Hopefully he becomes our cat!

I’ve been working with her for around 3 months and she has definitely improved in that time though so I’m hopeful! Someday we will be friends!

Finally, I went to carry out the recyclables, and this orange boi tried to run INTO my apartment! I had to drop the bag of recyclables and catch him midway through my door. I deposited him on the sidewalk amid much protesting and he walked me to the recycling bins and back, and rolled over for some belly rubs. I saw his collar and decided to call his parent(s)— I’ve had a fur baby go missing before, so I just wanted to be sure he was supposed to be out. The man who answered the phone laughed when I said, “Hey, your cat just tried to get into my house, is he supposed to be out?” “Ah yeah that’s Tiger. He doesn’t have any sense of stranger danger. You can let him in if you want but he’ll probably try to sleep in your bed.” So Tiger and I hung out for a bit and then he went on his merry way. Always fun to meet new neighbors!!

My husband would often be in the garage working on Stella (the Bug) and Klaus would come over to visit. We started calling him the Shop Cat. Then I fed him. You know how that goes. He doesn’t come in because my GSD views him as a food source. This morning I put out some recycling in the garage and opened the big garage door. 3 seconds later there was a meow on the other side of the door to the garage. Loud. And louder. And then banging on the door. I fed him and gave him fresh water. He brings me dead things. A lot. He loves me. He likes it when I pick him up and hold him straight on. He has no shame in his game. We refer to him as Notmycat. I have soooo many stories about him.

That's My Car.... But That Is Not My Cat

Well, I got off to a rough start this morning.. left my dome light on overnight, had to call roadside out to jump me. Went back in the house, leaving my car door ajar....came back out to meet the roadside tech, looked in the car and jumped out of my skin.... there was a critter in my car. It was this kitty, one of the local strays. So I grabbed a towel from the back, and thankfully she froze instead of fighting because I was able to get in the house with her and put her in a crate......

I guess shes my kitty now. Has her spay appt set up for Friday morning. I've named her Andromeda, "drama" for short. Making her the third I've personally adopted from my neighborhood and the fifth total I've found homes for.

My House, Not My Cat

My House, Not My Cat

I live on the Mediterranean coast in Turkey. Turkey has an abundance of street cats and dogs. On the whole these animals are looked after well by the local authorities, restaurants and residents. Just over a year ago this calico cat started to appear on our terrace. She was timid and occasionally aggressive and I did not encourage her, as quite frankly, I'm not a cat person. We were also visited by a large male tabby that was always aggressive and we nicknamed him Terrorist Cat. After shooing him off the terrace on one occasion and returning inside the house, I looked to see he'd jumped on to the window ledge and was snarling at me through the window. When I banged on the glass to scare him away, he turned and pressed his butthole against the pane. Terrorist Cat terrorised the calico cat and she would run to our terrace to hide. She became a daily visitor but I was reluctant. Cat person I may not be, but seeing her pathetic face pressed up against the glass kitchen door, I put down water and scraps, which she devoured. This fast became a nightly ritual. At the end of February this year, we had to return to the UK for 3 weeks. During this time of course, Covid struck and we were forced to stay for 4 months before finally flying back to Turkey. We arrived at our house in the sticky heat of July at around 2am. The first thing to immediately greet us was the calico cat. Looking thinner and even more pathetic than usual, I had nothing to offer her but then found a forgotten tin of salmon in the back of the cupboard. Here we are 5 months later. She's called Yama now (Turkish for 'patch' ). Has rather expensive cat food twice a day and makes herself completely at home. I dont allow her in the house (I'm not a cat person after all) but yesterday me and my husband were checking out warm cat houses so that she can be cosy during the winter. I AM NOT A CAT PERSON.OK.

This Is Orin Star Stealer - He’s Not My Cat, But I Might Be His Human

This Is Orin Star Stealer - He’s Not My Cat, But I Might Be His Human

I live rurally and we have feral cats around. I TNR them and leave them alone. A while back a black one started showing up and basically moved onto the porch. I named him Salem Moonbeam. Salem was fierce about protecting his land and basically kept all other cats at bay. This dude started showing up occasionally at the very edge of the property and is/was very skittish. Salem suffered a toe pad injury that saw him kept in kitty jail for THREE months. (It kept reopening so he was put on lockdown for the duration of the healing.) and Orin started coming on the property more and more. One day we turned into the property and he was sleeping in driveway and my wife says, “I think that cat lives here.” I spent months trying to trap him to get him fixed (he was mostly invisible, but spraying everything.) finally I trapped him and got him fixed. He screamed like a wild thing and acted completely unhinged. I figured I’d never see him again. But apparently he and Salem had become friends because one afternoon when I held the door to allow Salem indoors for the evening Orin scuttled in behind him. Scared and hiding. I let him stay and once the house settled he crawled up on my lap and turned into a completely different cat! First thing in the morning he reverts to a wild thing and takes off as soon as the door opens. He makes his way all over our street and he won’t be pet outdoors. It’s as if he is reminding me that he is not my cat. However, when the evening starts to creep in he takes any opportunity to run through the door. It’s fine with me. He loves the fosters and gets along with everyone indoors so...

I live on the third floor of an apartment building and one of my roommates heard meowing at our back door and this sweetheart, Fern, bolted in. She was very sweet but was definitely worried. I am getting my own cat next week so we had everything to take care of her while she was visiting. Thankfully her "full" name was on her collar and we were able to match it to the last name of someone who lives in our building and return her to her rightful home. Our best guess is they left their backdoor open and she somehow wandered to ours. Fern is super sweet and I miss her already.
