Non-Cat-Owning Twitter Users Share Their Most Ridiculously Funny 'That's Not My Cat' Moments

Have you ever woken up, gone to the bathroom, and laid eyes on a cat that is definitely and most certainly not your cat? Well, this Twitter user can say that yes, yes she has. This situation begs the question, has this happened to anyone else? Any other comedic instances of cats visiting their neighbors and setting up camp?

After doing some research and further developing our theory that cats are secretly evil geniuses, we discovered that this actually happens quite often. Some cats simply decide, out of the blue, that they want a home and your home is that home. Twitter users everywhere chimed in to share their own hilarious instances of finding cats in their homes that were definitely not THEIR cats! Sometimes, as a cat, you happen upon the neighbor's house and just need a snuggle buddy, a new source of delicious drinking water, or just a nice change of scenery. What's a cat to do?

    Font - * Heather @HeatherlnAus H ... Replying to @parkinsbrea Our cat was never at home between 9am and 5pm Mon-Fri. We used to joke that he had a job. One day we found him: behind the counter of our local Post Office (small town shop style), asleep on a rug in front of a fire. The lady very sternly told us that he's always hungry! 12:53 PM · Feb 11, 2022 · Twitter for iPad 124 Retweets 4 Quote Tweets 3,654 Likes

    Font - Rachel Rushefsky @RRushefsky Replying to @crazee4books and @parkinsbrea A friend of mine had that happen with her childhood cat. They didn't have air conditioning, and he'd always vanish for the summer. One July day, she saw him in her neighbor's window.
