Cats have us as butlers.

We might say that cats have human owners but we all know that statement is not at all correct. I mean we are all well aware that we act more like butlers than someone who ‘owns’ a living being. And while cats might not understand our language, they understand enough to manipulate us into doing their bidding. Now, don’t get me wrong I love cats and have a kitty myself as well but that doesn’t mean I don’t know the truth.

I can say that I chose which cat I wanted but at the end of the day, it depended on the kitten. And that is why we are here. This is sort of a spin on ‘my house, not my cat’ and nobody is surprised to see cats acting this way. Cats do whatever they want and that includes forcing you to take care of them even if you never wanted a cat. Just look at the following adorable kitties and try to say no to their face. I bet you that it is impossible. just scroll below to see for yourself.

#1 Nugget somehow knew that they wanted a cat.

My son and I have been wanting a cat for years and this one just showed up on our doorstep. It took us about a week of feeding him outside to finally get him inside this morning and I think he’s liking it here. We’re calling him Nugget.

#2 Goose will be a great co-pilot.

I was at a Maverick gas station at 3 a.m. on a road trip back from Arizona. He was waiting there for a home. I said, ’Talk to me, Goose.’ As I offered him food, warmth, and my heart, he accepted. Meet my new co-pilot, Goose.

#3 Just a cat that came from the woods.

#4 He wanted pets and he got it.

I lost my white deaf cat after 6 months of living with him (1.5 years old), he found me and adopted me. Today, exactly 1 year after we first met, another white deaf cat ran to me, climbed on my bike, and would not let me go without some love. I do believe in something greater than me now.

#5 This is certainly one way to convince your partner.

I tried to talk my husband into getting a second cat. He wasn’t keen on the idea. Then we went camping and this handsome fellow found us and camped with us our entire stay. When the campsite owner said he was a stray and had been hanging around for months, I knew he was coming home with us! Meet Rufus.

#6 Okay, this is just adorable.

This kitten showed up in my yard last night when it was cold out. I gave it food, water, and a blanket. It seems quite happy to be here today.

#7 He had chosen this family and he wasn’t going to let go.

This cutie came from outside and asked for food. We fed him and he left. The next day, I was going up in the elevator. When the doors opened, I saw him waiting for me. The rest was kind of a blur.

#8 She found a family that took her to a different country.

I found her in France 4 years ago. She was starving so we gave her some food. But she kept coming back every morning so we decided to take her to my home country (the Netherlands).

#9 This is exactly how one gets a cat.

I work at Starbucks and was taking my lunch. I walked out to my car and this little guy ran up to me, meowing and wanting to be picked up, just a few feet from the door. Eventually, my wife had to come and get him. Guess I have a cat now!

#10 When a cat chooses your lap.

Cats are actually quite intelligent in some matters. For example, they choose to go into homes when they feel like they need help or are pregnant. So if a cat shows up at your doorstep, don’t turn them away. Even if you can’t keep them, simply give them to one of your friends or to a shelter so they aren’t on the street anymore.

#11 Just give them some food and they will stay at your home forever.

This random cat came in when I was just getting inside the house, following me up to my apartment. I gave her some milk and now she won’t leave. I guess she’s my cat now.

#12 He looks so healthy now.

This little guy just showed up, skinny and covered in fleas and ear mites! But he’s all better now and gaining weight.

#13 This is one of the best feelings ever.

A throwback to that time a random cat climbed up my leg and onto my shoulder at the bus stop!

#14 When a strange cat claims your home as her own.

#15 They might not have wanted a cat but they certainly needed one.

My parents didn’t want a cat but this stray and her baby decided otherwise. Obviously, my parents now have 2 cats.

#16 Tofu is a gorgeous kitty.

This little stray cat wandered inside our house last week and made himself at home. We named him Tofu.

#17 ‘Put me down or I’ll hurt you.’

A stray kitten was keeping me up at night meowing in my crawl space. Today I finally got to meet him.

#18 This looks better than the houses most of us live in.

#19 This is one angry kitty right here.

This is Pusspuss. I do security at stables and live on-site in a trailer, and Pusspuss was a stray who lived here. Today, after 18 months, he sat on my lap for the first time. He adopted us because he’s always hungry.

#20 How do I get a present like this one?

It was Christmas Eve in 2017 when baby Yeti showed up crying in our backyard. 2 years later, she is still the best ‘present’ Santa has ever brought us.
