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.

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.

He's been fathering litters of feral cats in our community for years. And tonight I finally caught him. He's staying in the garage for the night and then he's off to the vet tomorrow for a little snip snip.

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.

 Although Clearly She Thinks I'm Her Human. The Neighbours Cat, Honey, Stayed Over Last Night. I've Been Trying To Evict Her As She Is Quite The Murderer And My Garden Birds And Other Critters Are Suffering but Clearly All My Attempts To Return Her To Her True Mother Have Failed. At Least While She Is Indoors I Know She's Not Out There Killing. She Has Already Brought Me Two Snakes This Week, Leaving Them On My Bedroom Floor. She's Clearly Quite Taken With Me.

Slightly late for our evening cocktails, Sir Pockets of Chonkington decided to knock at my open window tonight to pick me up for our date. I came out and boom. Lap kitty. A whole lot of lap kitty.

My new blanket arrived. Large and fluffy and warm. Perfect for evenings under it, on my couch, watching movies. My neighbour's cat came in. Saw the blanket. Ran for it. I tried to stop her. She threw herself into it, started making biscuits. She curled up and fell asleep, face buried in it. I don't have a large, fluffy, warm blanket anymore. My neighbour's cat does.

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.

My boyfriend and I are moving into our new house. We’ve been keeping the back door open to bring in furniture and in wanders this chönky görl like she owns the place. We bought the house new, so she couldn’t have been dumped. I asked the neighbors and no one has info. I immediately brought her to the vet to get up to date on shots and for a clean bill of health. 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. Did I just get adopted???

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. 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

Yesterday I heard a noise at my back door and there she was knocking on the glass with her little paw. I opened the door, but she walked away like she made a mistake. I shut the door and immediately she’s back, knocking again. This happened several times until she finally left.

My house, my dog, not my cat. My neighbour’s cat has been visiting us for 5 years now, and has whipped two dogs into shape.

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 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 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!

She’s a semi feral I did TNR on about a month ago. She will come around for food and try to sneak inside the house on the occasion to play with my 2 cats, but she is still very fearful of my presence and doesn’t let anybody near her. 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! I named her Margaret/Maggie and she knows her name lol so she’s basically mine right? Don’t mind the fact that I had to stand around the corner 20 feet away in order to get this photo without her running

So I came home today and my husband says “Hey Beastly somehow escaped but the neighbour brought him home. I locked him in the bathroom because he got filthy”. I look into the kitchen and see Beastly sleeping on a chair “Beastly is in the kitchen” ... ... ... This is not my cat.

He technically belongs down the street, but has been sneaking in over here since before I moved in.

She hisses at small children, jumps in delivery drivers trucks and steals their Doritos, and chose to share my property with me. My house, not my cat.. my .. land mate? Other antics include: 1. Demanding nightly walks down the driveway or she’ll sit in my window and make the dogs bark. 2. Staring down woodchucks. 3. Hiding in flower beds and jumping out at me. 4. Diving and rolling in front of me while walking, then running away acting offended like I was going to touch her. 5. She comes when I call her. No pets yet. She’s smelled me several times, I’m not pushing or rushing her. But I have a feeling if I take a nap in my hammock I’ll wake up with a cat on me.

I was at work and very confused as he should have been halfway to work by that point. He was running late and as he opened the door to leave a kitten ran inside. I came home to our two adult male cats who brought a little kitten to me. I was shocked but instantly knew what my husband meant. He was not chipped, I posted him on all the sites and knocked on everydoor for 2 blocks each direction. Husband named him and refused to let him go to a rescue. My house, not my baby cat has yet to leave.

Rescued this cute pie 4 weeks ago. Found her bleeding in my doorstep... hip fracture, anemia and dehydration... probably hit by a car. Now, after intensive care and a couple of visits to the vet she is finally letting us pet her ♡ Hoping to find her a lovely family that will give her all the love she deserves! We call her Blue.

Was coming home from work and saw this face in the window of one of my neighbors. That's my cat living his best life in someone else's home! They have a catdoor and we know he goes there during the day, they don't mind him. And he comes back home every night.

Luna realized a couple of years ago that I am a soft touch and wanders over for food when she’s in the mood. Until she got fixed a few weeks ago she was quite the party girl and I would have to feed her suitors too. They would hang back respectfully until she ate because Luna, though tiny, is also a thug.

Elmer, our cat (to the left, the tabby) wanted to introduce his best friend. He brought him home begging us to let him in (although he has a house of his own). They have been best friends ever since. Last week, Elmer was hit by a car and did not make it... His best friend still comes around looking for him, devastated.

We rented a cabin in Alaska for a month last summer. We were immediately visited by Olivia, the cat, and Maggie the dog. They made themselves at home so much that the owner gave me bags of their food, as they were with me more than her!! They were such sweethearts and made the stay even more enjoyable.

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!!

I do live on a ground floor flat. I did have my window wide open. I was eating soup. She did come in to investigate, and have a good old nosey around the place while making it very clear she had no interest in becoming my friend.

Preface with we live on a 10 acre farm. Wife hears cries in the night at 11:30 last night. Commence late night search of property until this mewling rodent is located in a woodpile on the edge of the property (yes he's that loud that we heard him from the other side of the property) Expected a feral nightmare...nope, totally chill snugglemonster. Last time a cat came into our lives this way my wife named him Nacho to remind me he's Notcho cat (not your cat)...he was Nacho cat for 10 years. She named this one Freddie, I think her resolve is slipping although she still says he needs a different home

So we just moved into this house and we aren’t allowed pets so am missing my babies back at home sooooo much.. Boyfriend comes running upstairs like QUICK STACEY HURRY UP YOU NEED TO SEE THIS..

His name is Klaus. I have other names for him. He has a home. It’s about 20 feet away, on the other side of the fence. A couple of years ago he decided he wanted to be an outdoor cat. 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.

“Whats the butter in the fridge w ‘BROWN CAT on it?” That’s Brown Cats lick butter. “We’re gonna have to throw that away” No we’re not, let him live his life (I got your back Brown Cat)

My house, not my cat - We sent a note home with this friendly kitty “Jeff” who always hangs out with us. Also her name is not Jeff, it is Shirley

He’s super old, super scraggly, but he’s friends w my cat so we got him hooked up at the vet and he’s in his little cone for 10 days. I GOT YOUR BACK BROWN CAT Only set me back a few hundred dollars
