In this housing market, you'll take whatever you can get, right? In the case of this couple, they got an extra perk… Two new cats. When these brand new homeowners moved in they were excited to finally own a home! Their excitement quickly turned into heartbreak after seeing what the previous owners left them. They abandoned their two cats there. How could anyone do such a thing? If you are taking on the responsibility of becoming a pet parent, then you have to know you are in it for life! So to see these cats just left behind by the home's seller made the hearts of this couple sink.

Luckily, they know the deal, and they are seeing this as an added bonus. They, of course, reached out to previous homeowners to see if this was some sort of mistake, but that was a while ago now and they have not heard anything back. So they have named them Billy and Bobby and they are keeping them. "It's their home more than ours," one of them say in a comment on their now-viral video. The cats needed some time to warm up, Billy more than Bobby, but now the two are warming up and seem to be happy to show them around the house.
