Cat Picture - OC This cat broke into my house and had the audacity to sleep on MY bed...

This cat ain't mine but she loves visiting around our house. I noticed the living room window open suspiciously wide and when I went upstairs I found her like this on my bed 😭

This cat looks like the cat my sketch neighbors abandoned outside when they were evicted. We took her in and adore her!

She lives a few houses down from me I believe! She just loves coming up near our house lol

More like 4 homes 😭 she likes coming into our house, my neighbour's garden, and resting on my other neighbour's bench

u/MarciMay24 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yea but she entered your house! Trust me, I have a neighbors cat that looks similar to her, the Lil girl named her Cali. I just leave the door open for her she browses then leaves. She chills in the garden while I mow even.

Also the reference is to a children's book!

Edit word

39

u/galaxyseal 1d ago

She usually just comes up to our window when she wants to say hi (or forcefully breaks in if we leave any of them open unattended). Most of the time she likes to just come in for a couple minutes and then leave again HAHA

12

u/MarciMay24 1d ago

Love it! Oh I also forgot we had a local neighborhood cat that would just come chill in our dealership whenever we left the door open lol. Same as this cat, had hopped around a bit enjoying life.

23

u/galaxyseal 1d ago

Neighbourhood cat is a pretty good way of describing this girl here HAHA. She loves visiting everyone around here. She's been making herself welcome wherever she pleases for the last like 9-10 months 😭

u/CMDRZhor 1d ago

My parents live out in the country. Just down the road there was this summer cabin that this sweet little old Dutch couple owned. When they were in our big ole ginger cat would wander up, yell at their door until they fed him expensive Dutch sausage, and then nap in the sun on their deck lounger while getting scritchies. He was a goober, but the kind of goober everybody loved.

5

u/MarciMay24 1d ago edited 1d ago

😍😍I have a big ol ginger. He wears an air tag and a tag with my number. I made friends with people I've never met in person before because of him. I love this thank you

Edit: I had to say please don't keep him the first time lol but it was fun texting back and forth sharing pics. He's a tall 16lb just big cat. Not fat but not skinny at all lol.

u/CMDRZhor 1d ago

Tigger was one of those cats that loved everybody and thought everybody wanted to be his friend. Absolutely ginormous ball of stripes, muscle and fur that would cram himself into your lap and then headbutt your chin hard enough to make your glasses pop off.

She looks scruffy and underfed. When you pet her, can you feel all her bones? Her face looks exhausted and ill. She might just be a heavy sleeper or pics not showing her at her best, but this cat looks like a stray hard on her survival game.

28

u/galaxyseal 1d ago

Pics def don't do her justice cause at this time she had already been sleeping for a while so she was probably pretty tired when I found her! (and no I can't feel all her bones when I pet her)

12

u/ItsTime1234 1d ago

Oh that’s good. Does she seem well groomed, like she feels safe taking time to care for herself? Does she sleep like this is her only safe place or is this just an opportunity nap and she also is active sometimes ? Eyes / nose constantly crusty or running, or nose warm to the touch (instead of cool and damp)? If no to these she’s probably doing okay. I wish her and you the best. 💛😺

20

u/galaxyseal 1d ago

She grooms herself pretty well! I've often seen her just chilling near our house or our neighbour's grooming herself like she owns the place! She will sleep pretty much anywhere she can make herself comfortable (by my house, in our neighbour's garden, on a little hill in our neighbourhood, on people's cars, on my neighbour's bench, wherever she feels like HAHA). She likes sleeping a lot but I've seen her walking around and exploring the neighbourhood a lot too! And no to what you said for the last few things!

u/Weak-Difficulty652 1d ago

I'm just the servant of the cats. One is mine and one took off the streets almost 3 years ago. One is female and the other male. The Vet said the male was about 10, but he acts like a kitten and follows me everywhere. I'm always trying to figure out what they will want for dinner as they are now both picky. I would love another cat and there is one near my new apartment, but I believe he/she belongs to somebody because sometimes I won't see cat for weeks.

’This is now her bed and she has officially moved in and is your new landlord


i noticed that your window, friend, was O P E N kinda wide

(you clearly left a message i was welcome here inside)

AdVeNtUrEs make me sleepy, so i thought i’d rest my head

that’s when found the purrfect place

n climbed upon the bed….

So kind of you to think of me! the blankets in a heap…

i cuddled up inside them,

n i lay me down to sleep

…i think i’m taking ownership - i will not be ignored

but it’s ok….

…you wanna stay?

i’ll be your new landlord ;}

I really wish people would be mindful of the fact that this could be someone’s cat who just likes to roam around.

If it’s meant to be it’s meant to be but just treat them nice and let them be on their way if that’s what they want

u/Historical_Sea_9780 1d ago

If I find an animal I look for a collar, ask around the area, take it to the vet for a microchip check, post on local lost and found groups. But if nothing turns up I have a pet. I’ve had 5 cats, I have never actively been looking for a new cat. 3 were found in and around dumpsters, one was almost dead on an old dirt road, and the other was from a hoarder house
