How Cats React To Strangers: Hissterical Stories Told By Cat Owners Who Are Totally Tired Of Their Troublemakers

If you are someone who has a cat, then we know that you understand how much unadulterated joy we get seeing our cats… react to stuff. That's it. That's all it takes to entertain us! Just let our cat sniff something new and watch them go. And it doesn't even matter if their reaction is no reaction.

We are still entertained, and we know that you are too, because no matter how many times we cover cats reacting to things, you guys love it. Whether it's cats reacting to kittens with mild horror, or cats reacting to someone fake-drowning themselves… entirely predictably, or cats and their weird reactions to closed doors, you guys are just as entertained by these little fluffballs as we are. So, you know what? When we asked you guys to tell us about the funniest reactions that your cats have had to strangers, and you provided pure hilarity, we were not even that surprised.

No such thing as a cat that is "too friendly". This cat is purrfect. And okay, we personally think that all cats are purrfect, but this cat… is very purrfect. We wish our kitties were this friendly with anyone, let alone strangers. This is one of the cutest interactions that we have ever read about between a cat and a stranger.

That last line - that's about accurate for our cats too. We don't know what they think will happen when we let people into our houses, but they run as if it's truly the end of the world. No hissing, no nothing, just running - straight to their favorite hiding spots.
