Cat Returns Home With A Note Revealing She Has A Secret Family
A California man was surprised when his girlfriend's cat came home one day with a note. The note, attached to Nala's collar, said:
“I don't know who this cat belongs to, but she comes visits [sic] us every few weeks. She'll meow outside our back door until we let her in, she wounds [sic] herself around our legs, walks about the house like it's hers, waits @ the fridge until my husband or I fed [sic] her baloney. She doesn't like our cat food very much! We look forward to her visits. We lost our 21 yr old cat this yr.”
Soon, others started to write in with their own stories. Check them out below, or submit your own!

My sisters cat used to visit the neighbours and was loved by the whole family until she got a little too comfortable and started sharing with them her bad habit of pooping in the bathroom sink
My family had an orange stripped cat who moved up the street. The people there called to tell us when they were taking him to the vet. That was nice. He never moved back.
same at my house ...she is chase me home ,behind my car , if she is out ,always wait for me at Toni's house :)
I know this sounds strange, but many cats need jobs to feel good. Making visits around to the neighbor' homes fulfills that urge. Some even find that cleaning off counters, tables, etc. of drinks, eye drops, remotes, phones...to be a fun rewarding job. Often it is celebrated by loud cheering from their owners! Lol
My aunt used to live 6 houses away from us. She got a kitten from the same litter as our cat, so they would run back and forth between the houses and play together and share food all the time. We found out later that our cat was going to an old lady's house between our houses and getting cream from her, and he would also just randomly walk into other neighbours' houses and make himself at home!
In my old townhouse we had 2 visiting kitties. One would come to eat and then lounge on his favourite spot on the living room sofa as if he's lived and slept there his entire life. The other first just came up to the door for snacks, but as he got more and more comfortable he would venture further into the house to enjoy snacks in the kitchen and play with our girl cat. He would stand on his hind legs to scratch at the door until we let him in or put out food.
We once rescued and took care of an abandoned kitten. After a few months he went on to live with an old lady next door and never bothered us. After a couple of years when the old lady moved out to a new place, he refused to go with her and when taken forcibly he came back to our place leaving the old lady heartbroken. He's been with us for a few years now but when i starting taking care of a couple of other cats, he's moved away and not seen for over a month now. Hoping to see him soon!
I had something similar happen. I moved into a new place and off the back patio the last tenant had made what we called a cat walk to my sons bedroom window. Well this beautiful cat was sneaking in my sons bedroom and sleeping with him, when i found out i found her in my lap before i realized it wasnt my cat, he had her for over a month. After that she moved in and never left and became my best friend. Followed me and loved me unconditionally. My thought is if u have a need they are their. Even if they are someone else's Pam
My mom and dad used to take turns with their next door neighbor feeding each other's cats. Dad would feed early in the morning and the neighbor would feed them in the evening. The neighbor got married and moved about 30 miles away. Mom came home and one of the neighbor's cats was sitting on the front porch. Mom called the neighborhood or and said, "Did you drop Bailey off at the house?" The neighbor said, "Is he there with you? We've been looking everywhere for him. He's been gone for about a month!" Mom told her she would bring him back to her house but she said no. Bailey has obviously chosen who he wants to live with.
I have a cat that lives outside primarily and everyday we crack the garage door so she can go in and out as she pleases, our neighborhood has many cats, feral or not and my cat seems to host a sort of kitty bed and breakfast in our garage because I will often go in their to get a soda and I see a new car almost every month wth the exception of one black cat who seems to visit pretty often
I lived in one of 10 cottages, and had moved in with my own 4 cats. One of them started visiting a neighbor couple, and would leave them mice on their front porch. He spent almost all day at their house, and would run over to greet them when they got home from work. They had lost their beloved cat the year before.They loved my Norton so much, that when they moved, I told them to take him, even though i loved him dearly. I had visitation rights of course. Within a couple of years, he became quite ill, and they did everything humanly possible to treat him and improve the quality of his life. They had him euthanized at home, and i went over, was able to say my last good bye, and we all spent the afternoon sobbing together
One day we found that cute fluffy kitten in our garden. After some time we took pity on it and allowed it inside. We raised it and cared for it. Apart from that we had to get accustomed to her habit of regarding all humans she meets as her family. She especially likes children, so one day we saw her in town walking alongside a little girl and her father. Later the father, after assuring us ‘me no know this cat’, told us that our silly cat had accompanied them on their shopping day – including the grocery store, the drug store and the pharmacy (this is where we picked her up). Around noon the church bells ring in our town, which is the sign for our cat to get ready and go up to the primary school. She waits for the kids to come out, pet her, give her some food and, sometimes, take her home to their houses, where she gets more food. Her daily routine includes visits to a nearby restaurant (where she gets a saucer full of milk), the bank (some ham or cheese) and the police station (hotdog
station (hotdogs, judging by the smell when she comes home). She also spent quite a few days in an old people’s home and a home for the disabled. We guessed she liked these places, because a) they have a big kitchen and b) they have automatic doors, which allow her to come and go as she pleases. As I already said we have become accustomed to her wandering about, but we still found it slightly embarrassing when we got a call from the local hospital’s nurse telling us (quite angrily) to come and get our fricking cat from the hospitals internal medicine department, which she accessed via the fire escape.
