Neighborhood grumpy grandpa cat causes a chaotic midnight chase through a house's basement after breaking in and confusing the resident cats: 'As far as I know, he's still in my basement.'

When the local grandpa with the "get off my lawn!" attitude is a of the feline kind, things can get funny fast.

Imagine your local grumpy gramps, the one sitting on his porch at the end of the street, living in the house where all the kids are afraid to ride their bikes by. And if someone just dares to breathe in the general direction of his crumbly garden, you get the threatening cane waving and "get off my lawn!" yells directed right at you. And these are scary. These grandpa types are the ones who truly control the neighborhoods they live in. Now, imagine this old man is a cat.

When the old man controlling your neighborhood is a cat, you've got a claw waving instead of a cane waving, and a lot of hissing instead of the lawn yelling situation. Kids might still be afraid to ride their bikes next to him, that thing doesn't change. But when this is the reality of the stray population in your neighborhood, you already know how to deal with a grumpy cat like that. Even if he breaks into your basement and causes mayhem in the household… which is exactly what happened in this one neighborhood, to this one person.

Just off the bat, all stories involving a Not My Cat - which is a very special type of cat that might actually belong to you after the story ends - are always hilarious. Whether they are on the funny side or wholesome side, it's still a hissterical situation that occurs worldwide, with many Noy My Cats. A cat just appears, seemingly out of nowhere, and will sort of… stay? Sometimes to find their forever home, and sometimes just to assert dominance over a certain area. Just because.

This is absolutely chaotic. Imagine what you have to do to move not one, not two, but five cats back to the house, while they're entranced by a “I must have a look! This old man won't leave my sight for one second!” intrusive thought. And if you're a cat pawrent, you know it's almost impossible to get a cat out of it. We just imagine the Benny Hill music playing in the background as this person tries to move their cats from place to place, only for the cats to run around and do whatever they want. All while this old cat watches from above, not bothered.
