They say a man's home is his castle. That may be true. But only until a cat invites itself over and claims the place. And that's not as rare as you might think. Just head over to the Facebook group "My house, not my cat" and you'll see.

Its 40.8K members constantly share pictures of the unexpected visitors they receive. From sleepy tabbies to playful gingers, it looks like exploring random strangers' cribs is universal across all felines, too.

#1 This Is My Garden. These Were Not My Cats. But They Are Now

1.6k Mamala, the tortie, hung around for years bringing various kittens into the yard to show them off and have a quick meal, then scurry away. We could admire them from afar, but could never touch her. Finally she brought these 4 beauties to us and decided to stay in the yard. One cold snowy winter day, she and the kids walked through our slider into our bedroom and two years later she's still with us with two of the babies. All are now spayed and neutered. Two found homes elsewhere. After living rough and being almost continuously pregnant for years she's decided she never wants to go outside again. Never once has she asked to.

#22 Picture It: Early Morning In Nw Georgia. My Husband Wakes Up To Go To The Bathroom And As He Walks Down The Hallway He Hears A Little "Mew" And He Thinks, "What The Heck?"

Picture it: early morning in NW Georgia. My husband wakes up to go to the bathroom and as he walks down the hallway he hears a little "mew" and he thinks, "what the heck?" And walks into the kitchen only to see a Smudge of something on the floor. Upon closer inspection he finds a kitten and now everyone is awake. We took him to the vet the very next day and learned he is a boy and between 6-8 weeks old. We named him Smudge. He was scared and shook a lot because we aren't a quiet group but now he is living his best life and is as happy as any kitten can be. Before we decided to keep him this was definitely my house not my cat. ETA: This is what we think happened! We think he came in through the attic. The long story is a couple days before he showed up my husband came inside after smoking a cigarette and told me he saw this cat carrying a tiny gray kitten in its mouth and that it jumped onto our roof. Then one morning shortly after this gray kitten shows up in our kitchen so pretty sure it's the same one. We think it came in through the attic, but we are only guessing. We have checked and there is no mama cat to be found and there are no other kittens either. So we decided to keep him. 1.9k

Momma came in with something in her mouth and I thought it was a mouse (this happened once before, long story!) and I went to run her back out. But then I realized it was one of her babies! She and I fought for a few minutes about wether or not she could stay, but she ended up winning. Now there is one stray momma and 3 baby kitties living under my recliner.

#28 My Catnip, Not My Cat

1.4k This is Squiggles, named for her congenitally kinked-over tail. She belongs to our neighbors but likes to hang out in our yard, taunting our indoor cats and rolling & huffing our catnip patch. Last summer, we were in our house when we heard a big cat commotion coming from the bedroom. Squiggles was inside, our cats were freaking out, but all windows & doors were closed—how’d she get in? Turned out she’d climbed on the roof, wiggled under the half-open skylight, stepped on the screen, and dropped, along with the screen, onto the bed below. She was as surprised as we were!

My husband heard this crash against our cat flap (it was locked since our old cat passed away 6 months prior) and found this poor cat crying to get in, obviously my reaction was to let her in immediately.. Then she wouldn’t leave! Made herself quite at home, loved my daughter, didn’t mind my old English sheepdog either! We had her chip scanned which showed she came from Spain, we are in the northwest of England.. We posted to a local rescue group and eventually, someone knew this was her cousins cat. She’d moved from Spain 2 days before to our street a few houses down. The owner had the door open when the cat came out of quarantine and she ran. Poor thing was terrified until we let her in. We were sad when the owner collected her, she fitted right in!

#38 My House, Not My Cat

1.4k I recently moved to a new house. About a week or so of living here I was coming home from the grocery store so I propped the door open so I could carry in my groceries. As I was heading back outside I noticed a kitty run into my house so I got my last bags and took them to the kitchen quick and went to see where the cat went. I found him like this (the first pic) in my living room. So I gave him some pets and then ended up like this (2nd pic) for the next hour. He’s so sweet. He kept coming over every day to watch tv on my lap and then going to the door to leave when he was ready. He was wearing a collar but it had no tags so I decided to write a little note and attach it to the collar. I asked if he had a home and what his name was. The very next day he returned with a note back saying his name was Finn and his address which was 4 houses down & also a phone number saying to text if I wanted to so I did. We were texting about the cat on and off all day and then we came to realize that we actually knew each other from high school. Which I thought was hilarious. Anyways, I now share custody of Finn and he is just the sweetest boy and I look forward to seeing him every day!

#50 Allow Me To Introduce All Of You Fine People To My Mhnmc, 'Girlie'

1.7k Girlie knows the sound of my car, and will come running from out of nowhere when she hears it! When I come home, I roll down the windows of my car and call for her. Girlie is usually waiting for me, but on those odd days when she isn't, I hear the sound of her tiny paws shortly after, scrambling across the stone landscape toward my car. I can then see this healthy chonk full-tilt running behind my car to beat me to my parking space so that she can greet me properly. She sniffs the plants and waits up the hill on the sidewalk for me to grab my stuff and start the walk home, and then(and only then) she darts up my stairs and stands impatiently with her nose pressed to my security door. At this point, she lets out the tiniest little 'mew!!!' to let me know that she is ready to sit with me for 5 minutes at the top of the stairs while I dole out her favorite snacks. I treasure this time. I tell her about my day, scritch under her chin (everywhere else seems to be politely rebuffed so far) and when the snacks are gone, she trots down the stairs into the night. My little love, Girlie.

With their okay he sometimes comes over and hangs out for hours at a time or sleeps over here if he’s at the back door late. I had an intense semester and Covid’s been getting to me with how much isolation it’s caused, he showed up like a blessing, even if he already has a home. Extra grateful for the owners okay with his regular visits. Super affectionate kitty that’s added some joy and wanted to share.

#66 My Neighbors And I Thought She Was A Stray Hanging Around

The first three pictures are my house, not my cat. The last three pictures are the my house, same cat, now my cat six months later. My neighbors and I thought she was a stray hanging around. My neighbors were feeding her and trying to get her to a vet because of her lip and looking skinny. Im a vet tech so I said I would take her to work and see what we could do. I ook her in and she got bloodwork, a steroid injection and an antibiotic injection. Her bloodwork came back she had kidney failure. Much to my husband's dismay, I knew I couldn't let her go back on the street. My neighbor offered to help with her vet care if I would keep her, so she has stayed. About two months later, I was outside with her on a leash and a lady stopped her car and asked how long I have had her and if she had a messed up lip. I said about two months and yes she does. Apparently it was her cat! Her name was Lucy (I had named her Ducky because of her lip) and she was 18 years old! I was shocked. The lady said she lived down the street and had thought she escaped when she let the dogs out and died. Ducky/Lucy did not like her dogs much. I explained what had happened and how I was taking care of her. I asked if she wanted her cat back. I didn't want to steal her cat. The lady said no, she seemed happy and healthy with me and I was taking better care of her lip than she could do. She we agreed she would stay with me. Now, six months later and a lot of injections and meds later, her lip is completely healed except for some scaring. She is happy and as healthy as and 18 year old cat can be! And she is now my cat. (My other 6 are still not thrilled by it) **Edit: First, thank you everyone for all the kind words. I really appreciate it! Ducky appreciates it too. I am a vet tech and love what I do so I was grateful I could help her feel better. Second, about her lip. Her (amazing!) Doctor and I think it was most likely a rodent ulcer. A rodent ulcer is when the body freaks out to some allergen. There is not really a definitive cause as to what causes them. Sometimes its plastic bowls they eat and drink out of or could be from fleas or insects. Sometimes they go away on their own and other times they need help. Hers needed help and a longer course of treatment to help. I am super thrilled at how it has healed! Thanks again everyone! 1.4k

#68 Hi! I’m New To The Group, And Here’s Lando Catrissian’s Mhnmc Story

On November 25, 2019, my ex and I were doing some cleaning in the house and moving junk into the basement. So we had the front door propped open. I happen to turn around, and this guy is swaggering into the house. He was dirty, hungry (obviously hadn’t eaten in several days), and walked with a bit of a limp. He climbed up in the recliner, plopped his ass down, and looked at us like he was saying “hey guys, I live here now”. We gave him attention, and a piece of salami. We left the door open to see if he’d leave, but he instead familiarized himself with the house. He found our bed and took a nap. We looked at each other, shrugged, said “guess we have a cat now”, and dropped everything to go to PetSmart and get everything he needed. About a year and a half later, he’s my chonky best friend. 1.4k

#75 Not My Cat

1.1k To recap, we live in the country & this orange floof showed up in the yard last winter. We get a lot of animals dumped out here so it wasn’t unusual. We’d see him, then he’d be gone for days (if not weeks), then he’d be back. We built a storage tote shelter, which he would lay on top of but refuse to go in. The water we put out became a heated water bowl so it didn’t ice up. Dry food morphed into wet food, at least twice a day. During all of this, I kept calling him “OC”, for Orange Cat, or Outside Cat, or Other Cat (we have 6 inside). He started answering me! Late this past summer, he actually let me pet him. One quick touch at a time but it was progress. He quickly showed us that he knew all about traps & would have nothing to do with them. Then, drumroll please, he set all four paws inside! Our indoor cats were not impressed but we’re slowly introducing them. They’ve been “talking” to him through the door for months, so hopefully it will go well. Finally, he has decided he wants all those pets he could have been getting for the past year. And he crawled into my lap & fell asleep to prove his point. We’re going to the vet after the first of the year but I’m pretty confident that we’ve been adopted. Welcome to the family, OC.

#77 Raven Is Still Not My Cat. She Very Much Has A Owner And *feels Guilty* A Little Brother. I Stopped Leaving Food Out And Gave Only Pets And Some Catnip And The Occasional Treat

903 She goes home for dinner and comes straight back. I have spoken to her owner at length about my attempts to send her home. She sighed, rolled her eyes and said, "If it's not you, she's next door or number 54 stealing food." I'm not complaining, I love her. Even my notoriously animal averse mother loves her. My dad is not keen, he doesn't like the bitey aspect. Raven pays no attention to his aversion and immediately sits on him everytime he comes over. He has begrudgingly allowed her a single pet each time now. She sleeps on my feet. She locks herself in my bathroom cupboard every morning when I get a shower and becomes angry when she can't get out. She sits on every pile of marking or lesson planning. She runs to meet me every evening when I get home. I have been chosen. I am most honoured.

#81 How Many Not My Cats Do You Have?

753 I have "Sort of my cat" who lives next door but usually jumps in through my bedroom window and stays all day. His humans are ok with it. I also have "Not my cat" who cries to come in through the front door. She does not get on with Sort of My Cat and her humans don't like her going in other houses but sometimes she gets in. Then there is "Definitely not my cat" who likes to be petted through the upstairs window but rarely comes into the house, though sometimes sleeps in our shed. Finally there is "Who even is this cat" who has been in the house a few times and also the shed.

#92 Look What My Dog Found In The Backyard Today

2.7k I heard him crying for the last couple of days in another neighbors yard, but when my dog heard him in my yard today, my dog claimed him as his own (We live in a town FULL of stray cats). I'm guessing he's about 5-7 weeks old, if that (he only has 4 canine teeth). I gave him a good bath and spent almost 2 hours picking fleas off of him with tweezers, and we gave him some kitten replacement milk. As you can see, he is happy as can be asleep in a blanket now. I'm not sure how to explain this little guy to my boyfriend when he gets back to town tomorrow, but it was his dogs fault

#96 Once Upon A Time, A Year Or So Ago, A Stray Cat Would Sneak In The Cat Door In The Middle Of The Night To Eat My Kitties' Food

762 After I surprised said cat one night and offered treats, he soon learned that I meant him no harm and he adopted me. I neutered him, vaccinated him.... But my neighbour fell in love with him, and she, with my stamp of approval, took over as cat mom and basically adopted him. Fast forward to today, not my cat anymore, my house, he came in for a visit.

There are many feral cats in my daughter's Dallas neighborhood. Sunday evening, in the freezing cold, one of them stood by her door begging to come in. She let him in and he slept soundly for hours. He has made himself quite at home, letting her know when he needs to go out. She already has two cats. I guess now she has three! 1.2k

#113 Moved Mid March And My 2 Cats Moved With Me Of Course

Moved mid March and my 2 cats moved with me of course. The previous owner had a white cat he has moved back to his home country of Latvia and said he was taking the cat with him. About 3/4 days ago this beauty turned up in the back garden. Sits outside the french doors and cries to be let in. It has staring matches through the glass with my 2. It looks like it’s being fed. But no collar. And if I open the door it runs. Though if I’m not there it will approach my 2 who are none to happy about having another cat in what is now their garden. Am unsure what to do. Wait and see if it keeps coming back? There are lots of cats in the neighbourhood so it might just be exploring but it is desperate to get inside and the crying is tearing at me heartstrings 1.2k
