Cats are known for their uncanny ability to slink into places other animals would find it impossible to get into. Paired with their agility and curiosity, these skills enable them to sneak inside random houses all the time, leaving people with a lot of ‘I don’t own a cat’ moments.
Good thing, these victims of feline intrusion are good sports. Proof of this is this series of absolutely hilarious photographs of cats caught in the act.
#1 Their stew brings all the cats to the yard
While most cat visits seem to unexplained, this one’s pretty easy to understand. According to the photo’s owner, they were just cooking dinner when this random black and white kitty appeared by their window. That must be some good cooking.
#2 “I’m always watching you”
Yeah, remember that gut feeling you have when you think someone’s watching you? Your paranoia might not be completely unfounded.
#3 Smoke break friend
Smoking cigarettes is an awful habit. But it does result in some positive things. Case in point is this poster who befriended a cat while smoking on his porch.
#4 He’ll keep your home safe
This cat saw a literal open door and took the opportunity. He was a stray yesterday. Today he’s your guard cat.
#5 Giving the neighbors a visit
Cats can get pretty clingy with their humans. But sometimes their company isn’t enough to keep them entertained. No wonder this kitty opts to check in on the neighbors from time to time.
#6 Flying cat
No matter how much you try to ignore cats, they’ll only find more ways to get your attention. Just look at this cute little guy saying hello to his neighbor the best way he can.
#7 Cementing himself on the throne
When this guy left the house in the morning, he was living in a democracy. But upon his return, his roommate informed him that they have a new king, who has cemented himself on this chair throne.
#8 “Oh, don’t mind me just letting myself in…”
This fellow was probably trying to be extra sneaky as he let himself in this stranger’s house. Too bad he got caught midway. We have a feeling that he continued to jump right in anyway.
#9 The look of betrayal
According to the person who posted this, they just put a microchip in their home’s cat flap to keep this unwelcome visitor out. Clearly, he wasn’t happy about the new obstacle.
#10 He needed a drink real bad
Poor stray cat was probably so thirsty he would’ve drunk anything. Luckily, he wasn’t desperate enough to drink toilet water yet.
#11 Knock, knock
If a cat knocks before sneaking into your home, would you let him in? Who could say no to such a cutie?
#12 Craving some bacon grease
Apparently, this hungry cat took the opportunity to break into a man’s house while he was carrying in some groceries. But a meal of savory bacon wasn’t enough for him, and so he proceeded to eat the grease, too.
#13 Crashing in the spare room
So, this little home invader was found crashing in someone’s spare room. Should he ask his new roommate for a share of the rent?
#14 Not a care in the world
It looks like the domestic feline species has gotten a bit too comfortable walking into strangers’ homes. Hopefully, the photographer was still kind enough to lead him back out without too much incident.
#15 Biding his time
It looks like someone smelled some brownies cooking. He’s probably just biding his time and finding the many ways he can get into her house to have a bite of that delicious treat. It’s too bad cats can’t have brownies.
#16 He just wants to watch Netflix, too
This poster was just at her boyfriend’s house to eat some dinner and watch Netflix when she noticed something off. He didn’t own a cat.
#17 “Have fun at work!”
This cat won’t let the neighbors go off to work without seeing them off first. And this neighbor has got the photographic proof.
#18 A matter of minutes
The window was open for a mere 10 minutes, but that was just enough time for this guy to sneak in and nap on this comfy rug. Can you blame him, though? That rug looks super comfy.
#19 Bad kitty
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to see a cat that’s not yours walking around. Now, imagine realizing that he’s also given you a nasty gift right on your blanket.
#20 Left without a choice
Here’s the problem. This guy doesn’t own a cat. In fact, he doesn’t even really like cats. And now, he has one thanks to this persistent fellow.
#21 He just needed a place to crash
Oh, give him a break! He was probably too wasted staying up until 1 AM with the neighborhood cats. He couldn’t find his way home and just crashed wherever he could.
#22 Making a new friend
We have to give it to this smart fellow, endearing himself to this toddler to charm his way into the house is genius. Hustle on little kitty, hustle on.
#23 Not-so-perfect camouflage
If this homeowner wasn’t so observant, this sneaky feline would’ve gone undetected as he blended in pretty well with those cargo shorts. Too bad his cover has been blown.
#24 It’s too hot outside, man
Summer’s tough for everybody, not just people. Case in point is this poor cat, who apparently entered a person’s home after he opened his back door because it was too hot inside.
#25 One of these things doesn’t belong…
Just looking at how at home this orange tabby cat is, one could never guess that he’s not really meant to be there at all. Here’s to hoping they didn’t disturb his peaceful slumber.
#26 Shelter from the storm…
Most cats may be self-sufficient, but they still need shelter from time to time. This little guy followed a new friend home in the rain and stayed with him.
#27 A homecoming surprise
Here’s more reason to double-check everything before leaving your home for long periods of time. After a two-week vacation, this homeowner was welcomed by a new tenant in their abode.
#28 Part-time cat
Now, look at that majestic stance! This cat knows he’s good-looking and will even let neighbors pet him from time to time.
#29 The book cat
It looks like someone finally found a companion who shares their love for reading. Why do we have the feeling that this feline is looking to borrow a copy of Dr. Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat?
#30 Kittens of the Corn
In a scene straight out of a horror novel, this trio of kittens was spotted emerging from a nearby cornfield. Let’s hope the person keeps their doors locked at night.
#31 New place, new pet?
Just two days after this person moved into their new place in Oregon, this cute fellow showed up on his doorstep. Nobody told him his new place also came with a new pet.
#32 He came into the wrong house
And that’s when the realization hit him, too. He walked into the wrong apartment, and it looks like he’s already regretting his mistake.
#33 Universal catcall
When they began calling out for their cat to get back inside by shaking a container of treats, someone else came back. That’s what they get for using the universal catcall.
#34 Let me in, hooman
This little guy climbed up to a second story and began meowing until they came looking for him. Now, this may all seem normal, but the catch is that this isn’t their cat.
#35 Caught in the act
This guy thinks he’s sneaky. But he was finally caught in the act prancing around the kitchen.
#36 Unknowingly feeding two
This guy with a camera was just about to feed his cat but found a cute thief inside the food container instead. And it looks like he had already helped himself to some of the treats inside.
#37 Equally surprised
After a long day of doing cat activities, this tired feline just wanted to crash on the sofa and relax. Unfortunately, he entered the wrong home.
#38 Cat invasion
It’s 2:30 in the morning, and you see this strange cat inside your home, what do you do? A. Come with him to his home planet or B. Go back to bed?
#39 New housemate
They were just about to take out the garbage when this strange fellow rushed inside their home. And now, the little guy won’t leave.
#40 This is my car now
If it fits, it sits. No exceptions. We guess she will just have to drive around with her new buddy from now on.
#41 The ‘monster’ under your bed
So, there really is a monster under the bed. Luckily, it’s not as terrifying as you were led to believe when you were a kid.
#42 Sleeping stalker
After following them home last night, this kitty decided to take a rest from his stalking activities. But he didn’t anticipate that the person he was following was an early riser and would catch him in a nap.
#43 The (almost) perfect hiding spot
He thought he could get away with hiding at the bottom of the closet where the unwanted stuff sits unnoticed. Well, he underestimated the perfect eyesight of some humans.
#44 Neighborhood gangster cats
This person would put out some food for the neighborhood stray cats every now and then. He slipped up once, and this boss kitty surely isn’t happy about it.
#45 Study buddy
The great thing about cats is that they aren’t as clingy as dogs…except when they are. Case in point is this stray cat who just wanted to cuddle with this student as she studied for her exams outside.
#46 The new baby
This kitty almost blended in nicely with the stuffed toys. Fortunately, the human occupant of the house looked closely and realized that he was just a poser.
#47 Technology addicts
These cats have attached themselves to a human not because he feeds them. Apparently, they’ve become addicted to playing games on his iPad.
#48 An impostor!
This person’s two cats must be living the good life for this cute kitty to come in and pose as one of them. Hopefully, both of his real cats are just fine.
#49 Cuddle buddies
Awww. Doesn’t this picture look like a great capture of a cute cat and his human? The reality, though, is that this feline isn’t actually theirs and just snuck in to cuddle with the sleeping man.
#50 Cyborg cat
If you still have any doubts that cats have a secret plan to take over the world, those reservations will disappear once you experience waking up to this scene. This cyborg cat’s probably doing undercover ops to know more about the people and their weaknesses.
#51 His cover was just blown
We wonder how long this little fella got away with hiding among the bath towels. It was probably just until someone actually needed a towel.
#52 “So, what’s for dinner?”
It looks like the key to being welcomed in strangers’ home is just a bit of charm and lots of confidence. That surely worked for this little guy.
#53 A goofy guest
Staying in the same living room surrounded by the same knick-knacks every day can get boring. No wonder this cat occasionally drops in to pretend like he’s a flower.
#54 Never let your guard down
After taking a nap after work, this person woke up to a surprising guest cozying up to him. There is nothing like a good cuddle after a tiring day.
#55 Just came by to say hello
Befriending your neighbor’s cat is way easier than befriending their human companions in some circumstances. Case in point is this beautiful long-haired cat, who has made a habit of coming by to say hi.
#56 The hitchhiker
When he drove off from his house in the morning, he didn’t own a cat. But it looks like that will soon change as he drives home with this hitchhiker, who refuses to leave.
#57 Sneaking master
Hard work pays off. This adorable stray cat spent hours meowing until someone woke up at 4:45 AM to see what was up. Seeing the opportunity, he came running inside the house.
#58 Phantom footprints
After painting their kitchen, they sat down to rest and found these strange markings on the sofa. They don’t own a cat.
#59 A double-take worthy situation
This large black cat probably thought it was sneaky sitting still in a white bathroom. He was eventually caught when someone happened to spot him.
#60 New bros
After randomly showing up at their house, this stray cat has been christened OJ. He and the homeowner are now bros.
#61 And now he has five!
It isn’t unusual to be visited by one or two stray cats every now and then. But imagine this person’s surprise when he suddenly had five cats showing up at his door.
#62 “This is how I die..”
If a cat climbed all of seven floors to get to you, you better be nervous. Here’s to hoping the apartment renter survived the night after meeting this persistent visitor.
#63 Like he owns the place
Meet Turbo. He was making a ruckus in a car shop and acting like he owns the place. Luckily, he’s a charmer and likes snuggling up to random people…and boxes.
#64 Found a new buddy
Wouldn’t it be extra funny if the person who took the picture didn’t own the alligator in the bathtub, too? But alas, the intruder here is this brave cat, who seems to have struck a friendship with the reptile.
#65 Perfect work break companion
Wouldn’t it be fun if random cute cats just came up to your work truck to hang out? That was one great day for these two.
#66 A cat with a special nose
This stray cat was sniffing out people who may need some cuddles. That’s how he ended up in this person’s parent’s back garden.
#67 Cat delivery
Cat deliveries are done at random. This unsuspecting man got his at 2:45 am. He doesn’t seem too bothered, though.
#68 Feeling right at home
It only took a few hours for this stray to get comfortable in his new home. It’s not surprising since he’s been waiting to be let in all summer.
#69 Orphan kitten
Oh, look at that sad face. The little guy probably got separated from his momma and siblings. Here’s hoping they took him in even just until he found his family again.
#70 Mystery break in
This grumpy cat doesn’t seem too impressed about the state of the kitchen. Likewise, we bet the person the kitchen belongs to isn’t too happy about finding a strange cat inside his home at 5:30 in the morning.
#71 Morning surprise
What would you do if you woke up and saw this in front of your door? We guess you’ll have no choice but become a cat lady now.
#72 A furry intruder
We bet this kitten was just waiting for the perfect window of opportunity to introduce himself. So, when the person who was home opened a window to have a smoke, the little guy jumped right in.
#73 Daily visitors
Neither of these adorable buddies belongs to the person who lives here. They just like coming by his house to hang out like this every day.
#74 A gift arrives
Don’t you wish buying Christmas presents was as easy as this? This good kitten just came by a farm and charmed the farm owner’s 10-year-old daughter, who wanted nothing for Christmas, aside from keeping her new friend.
#75 News gets around quick in the feline world
When you feed one stray kitten, prepare to be feeding many more in the coming days. This Reddit poster’s parents began doing so some weeks ago, and now their front door looks like this.
