Who doesn’t love a surprise visit from a furry friend? Especially when it’s a cat who’s decided to grace your home with its presence.
It’s like they know that we need some extra love and affection. Even if you’re not a cat person, it’s hard to deny the charm of these uninvited guests who seem to make themselves right at home. And with social media, we can share the joy with people all over the world.
So next time a cat drops in unexpectedly, embrace the moment and snap a pic to share with the folks over at My House, Not My Cat on Facebook.

3. “This Is AC The Tunnel Cat”
“The not my cat turned my cat after being found in my air conditioning vent. He quickly became obsessed with my pregnant belly, and is now obsessed with the small human that I clearly created just for him.”
4. “Woke Up To This Today”

“Fb pages took her to see if she’s chipped. Etc (she did have an old collar, but no tags). She is obviously pregnant, and today she started bleeding heavily, I took her to the vet and they told me her 1 kitten has passed away. So Tomo. She will have surgery to have the baby removed and to be spayed. I cannot afford this but have such a heavy heart about this kitty. So we do what we must.”
7. “After Almost Three Months Of Taking Over My House And Tiptoeing Around Each Other, My Little Feral Kitty Has Finally Warmed Up To Me!”
“It was like something snapped and now she has discovered attention and affection and can’t get enough. She still comes in and out as she pleases and definitely still has shy moments but I used to not even be able to look at her without her running back outside. She’s a sweet little thing! I can tell she’s still fighting her instincts to freak out, but she’s coming around.”
8. “This Is Robert, He Showed Up Tuesday Night At My Partner’s House”

“I dropped everything (literally. Rip eggs) and went to investigate, assuming one of my fluffy dorks escaped and was terrified of the big outdoors. Nope. I was greeted by a very handsome void, except for a white patch on his chest. The rest, as they say, is history. Vader is now permanently indoors as a very spoiled, much-loved, sink-hogging kitty.”
