His Royal Majesty. Mittens the King. The King Of Wellington. Wellington Morale Officer. That’s just a few of the names that Mittens—the local superstar of New Zealand’s capital—is being called. Mittens is a 10-year-old handsome boy of the Turkish Angora breed. The lovely, slightly orange chap is loved by pretty much everyone in Wellington, so it should come as no surprise that this adorable cat has his very own Facebook group with over 30k members from all over the world.
Every day, the people of Wellington, as well as the capital’s tourists, take pictures of Mittens the cat and share them in the group. He is allowed to come and go nearly everywhere—from churches to strip clubs, nothing is off-limits for this cat. He’ll also follow people home, nap on their beds, or come to their offices and just chill. But no need to worry—this famous cat does have an owner and goes home to his family (including a brother Latte) every night. So scroll down below to see some of the photos of Mittens that people have shared on this Facebook group called The Wondrous Adventures of Mittens and vote for the random encounters you liked the most!

“Was feeling a bit off this morning and nearly called in sick. Glad I didn’t because today was the day His Royal Highness decided to grace my humble desk with a long nap… and then he helped himself to my water.
Best. Day. Ever.
As he was sleeping he left a puddle of drool on my paperwork. Framing that, obvs.”

“Blessed to have my daughter’s bike seat approved of by His Majesty!
Mittens got comfy and didn’t want to be removed but fortunately, his owner came along to take him home. (I wasn’t game to move the bike with him sitting there.) In the meantime, he got lots of pats and attention from friendly passersby.”
