If you’re a cat lover, you’ll definitely want to check out the Facebook group “My house, not my cat.” This group is full of hilarious and heartwarming photos of random cats who have decided to visit people’s houses and make themselves right at home. It’s a delightful space where cat fans come together to share their surprise encounters and bond over the amusing antics of these unexpected feline guests.
Speaking of cats showing up at your doorstep, isn’t it funny how they always seem to know exactly which homes will welcome them with open arms? These furry explorers have a knack for finding the perfect spot to nap, whether it’s on your favorite chair or in the sunniest part of your living room. Their sense of entitlement is endearing, and their ability to charm their way into our hearts (and homes) is nothing short of impressive, if you ask us.
With that being said, if you’d like to see more of “feline intruders” make sure to take a look at Bored Panda’s previous posts about the group (click here for part 1, part 2, part 3, and part 4).
#1 This Is AC The Tunnel Cat

#3 I’ve Been Working On Finding This Girls True Home
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.

#6 Late Last September, I Was Busy Bringing Groceries Into The House When I Heard A Cat Near My House Absolutely Screaming Its Little Head Off
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

#7 We Acquired Felix After He Kept Standing At Our Back Door Screaming At Us
He lived 4 doors up so I took him home. But he was relentless and eventually they said we should keep him so he became ours.
Sadly he was pts last week at 18 years old.
We had him for 6 wonderful years. And he was very much my daughters cat

#10 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.

I was cooking dinner last night, with the kitchen window open, and I heard meowing. Assuming it was our resident void, I meowed back. Then she came walking around the corner from the bedroom. Wait… Who am I meowing to? Enter this SUPER friendly sweetheart

If I whistle, she will come back like a dog, so this morning was no different. I whistled and heard feet pattering through the leaves in my backyard… but this is the guy who showed up instead. Definitely not my cat, but isn’t he beautiful?! My cat is also back home safe, too

#18 At Our Previous Home, Our Cat Gathered Friends And We Referred To Him As A Cat Magnet
We suspected his friends had their own homes but we never knew for certain. They hung out together on the porch, especially waiting for treats. Their friendships developed over a long time – they were not instant friends. Once they learned to trust each other, they remained close and always brought smiles to our faces.

#28 MHNMC Now Sneaks Under The Covers Of Everyone’s Beds Uninvited
He does this so stealthily that he’s almost been sat on by my unsuspecting children. We’ve now altered our routine to include checking the covers before sitting on any beds. I slept beautifully and woke up without cold feet thanks to this guy. He showed up out of nowhere and has made himself at home. His favourite spot (aside from at my feet) is stretched out on a rug by the heater.

#34 This Is Cheeto. Not My Cat But Working Hard To Get Him To Trust Me
He’s super interested in our cats and this past summer he’d come up the steps and just watch them through the glass porch door. He appears to be an intact male so will get him trapped and neutered. He’s been around a year or two but just the last 8 months or so has he learned that he gets fed at my house. He’s fed well but no interest in pets. We love him and this can be his family if he wants. For now he remains NMC.

She came home from work and their dog did his security rounds, he found kitty under their guest bed.

Not my house, but also definitely not our cat

#41 MHNMC Came Home To Find This Little Guy In My Backyard
I was scared my own orange had gotten out. After checking on my own orange who was safely inside, I went back outside and this sweetheart came right up to me for loving. I gave him some food which he gobbled up. Took him to the vet and he has a chip but we couldn’t find the owner right away. We live in the city and are supposed to have bad weather tomorrow. So I couldn’t just let him go. He is staying in our nice warm basement until we find his home
