Most wedding gifts are so boring. Kitchenware sets, Supima cotton sheets, and unusable camping gear from that one prepper cousin are the kinds of gifts that most couples can expect from their registry after their big wedding day, but this couple went viral for a gift from the CDS far more fetching.

After returning from a 2-week vacation abroad, the honeymooners were flabbergasted to discover a late addition to their gift table, a single-brain-celled black cat with the apparent ability to teleport through the walls. Although all of the doors were locked and windows barricaded, somehow, this phantasmic feline melted through the walls and became a new resident in their empty home. Filling the house with cat-approved welcome-home energy, this cat awarded himself to his new hoomans, hoping to become the 3rd addition to a new family as their firstborn furbaby. 

It's funny how a loving duo turns quickly into a trio when you're both cat lovers, because this adorable and mysteriously acrobatic black cat burrowed immediately into the hearts of a couple already bursting with love.

  • Some people wanted an update It seems we're now in a cat sharing agreement with someone in our area. We've named him Phantom due to his ability to move through walls.

  • He's very timid, and freezes when scared. He hid when we first found him but still came back in the next day. He's not very good at hide and seek, but does believe 'if I can't see you, you can't see me'
