In a city bustling with stray feline citizens, I regularly find myself entangled in countless "not my cat" scenarios. Sadly, not all these wandering felines can transition from "not my cat" to "my cat." Regardless, I shower them with treats and affection.

We fall short of their majestic allure, and our best move is to wholeheartedly cherish them, embracing their unpredictable feline charm.

Encountering a 'not my cat' unfolds as a uniquely delightful experience. Initially, it warms the heart—a sense of being chosen and honored as the temporary haven for the feline's fleeting visit. Enjoy this purrfectly silly collection of 30 'not my car' moments in which humans were blessed with an unexpected feline guest.
