Man on a trip finds a random cat inside his bag, calls his wife and daughter, who are meanwhile looking for their lost family cat, and discovers that it's the family cat who climbed into his bag and didn't make a sound: 'Don't bother [looking for him]'

There are some things that cats do that are just… so cat-like of them. And no, we are not talking about jumping and napping and eating. We're talking about the things that all cat owners know about and laugh about and simply… accept. It is so very Cat for cats to sit in sinks. We don't know why, but we know that they love doing it. It's so very Cat for cats to steal food off our plates - right in front of our noses and without a hint of shame in them. It is so very Cat for cats to have zoomies in the middle of the night, running around at full speed as if ghosts are chasing them.

These things are just what cats do. And getting into our bags without saying a word - that is also so very Cat of our cats. So, we can't say that we were surprised when we came across this story. But we can say that we laughed. Really hard.

This is honestly such a cat thing to do. Nothing about this surprises us. Except for one thing. The fact that the cat did not make a single noise, just sitting there silently throughout all the bumps in the road, for as many hours as the trip took, that is surprising. Although maybe not shocking.

We actually love the fact that the response people had to this is to tell their own stories of cats doing the same things. Because it really is such a cat thing to do. And it's part of why we love cats so much.
