15 People Who Don’t Know Whose Cat This Is

Cats are independent creatures that come and go as they please. To them, nothing is off-limits – including strangers’ houses.

As it turns out, some felines love letting themselves into random people’s homes (and hearts). It’s such a common phenomenon that there’s even a Facebook group for people to share their “My House, Not My Cat” experiences!
