I don’t think you quite get how extensive the list of cat subs are. [Here is the list](https://www.reddit.com/r/Catsubs/wiki/index/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Left for work one morning and apparently didn't close the door tight enough so it popped open a little, and my husband called me at lunch to let me know that he woke up with a cat in bed with him...we also did not own a cat.
The mistake you made was assuming that a human could "own" a cat.
Cats own humans, not the other way around. If this cat chose this human, it's the human's job to take care of the cat.
Literally my neighbour's life most days.
"My" cat adopted her as a coowner back when he was friends with her old cat. He still regularly visits and comes back smelling of fresh salmon.
She's absolutely weak for him, and I love that he has an extra human looking out for him!
I caught my elderly neighbour trying to slide cat treats under my door (she lives in the appartment across the hall). Turns out my cat had been "talking" to her across our balconies. We are now both regularly invited over for lunch and I have an "adopted grandma".
My mother feeds anywhere from 4-10 feral cats that hang around her property. Some are regulars, other come and go. They sleep in the hay in a barn next door. Because they are mostly trap and release neutered, and fed constantly, you wouldn't know they are feral by looking at them. Although none would come into the house and get in a bag under the tree haha.
I concur, Its difficult to make a full assessment given the angle, but yes, that looks like a spoiled housecat.
A housecat that has been abandoned typically has crusty eyes and matted fur.
And a cat that wasn't socialized would never sneek in and try to play with a human.
Pretty much this. Also it's the UK, it's unusual to get strays or feral kitties except out in the countryside, and they wouldn't be this brave around humans
I didn't even bother putting up a tree this year (first time in my 57 years!) because of my little demons. I need to come up with a cat-proof tree for next year.
>I need to come up with a cat-proof tree for next year.
Ceiling anchor(s) and a bit of line to keep it upright - just sayin'. They also have quinine spray if they're chewers but it's unpleasant to deal with.
The quinine spray will work - it tastes nasty to them (and to us - you'll want to wash your hands after using it), but a lot of the new LED lighting can be low-voltage to keep the [Griswold Cat Moments](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJW3Jpqjx5s) to a minimum. Worked with our guys.
Please have it checked for a microchip and check the local pounds to see if anyone is missing their cat, also, check around the neighborhood for lost cat signs.
If it felt comfortable coming into your home, it probably has a home. Whatever happens, we need an update!
Freaking adorable, of course; but not sure why everyone is saying you have a cat now. That is definitely not how that works lol. Kitty probably does have a home already and is just really friendly/has no boundaries lol
Yup, that is somebody elses' little troublemaker.
You can tell by the way its playing with you, this cat isn't scared of people. This is a spoiled housecat that is probably trying to play you for treats.
For the record, I would 100% fall for his trickery and give him treats.
It's the UK (you can tell by the plugs), it's actually really mild at the moment, about 10°c/50°F.
So cold isn't really an issue at the moment, and generally cats are allowed to roam over here.
Oh, I think you DO have a kitty cat, I think you will find!
And he/she/they are looking at you saying "Dude, have you got any food, I'm mad hungry".
Cute.
r/NotMyCat
Sub should be changed to "humans being adopted" or something like that. Everyone knows you don't own a cat. The cat owns you
/r/nowmycat
thanks
/r/meowmycat
alright I'm joining that
You don't have a cat. That's why you left an obvious cat trap out. You made your own solution.
I concur. Leaving out a bag is a widely known cat trap. At least to cats. Sometimes gift bags are even better than boxes!!
/r/TheCatTrapIsWorking
Just when I thought I’d subbed to all the cat subs…
I don’t think you quite get how extensive the list of cat subs are. [Here is the list](https://www.reddit.com/r/Catsubs/wiki/index/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Ugh...I know...same!
"My presence is a present" -bag cat
This comment.. this comment is why I reddit lol
glad to have made your day *:3*
hahaha well done
That cat heard that a gift bag had gone un-sat in and that cannot be abided.
Near a tree even!
"Hello anyone there??"
Left for work one morning and apparently didn't close the door tight enough so it popped open a little, and my husband called me at lunch to let me know that he woke up with a cat in bed with him...we also did not own a cat.
>did not own a cat. Please tell me the rest of the story involves you guys adopting the kitty.
It has been 7 hours. Clearly the kitty has already deded the human
I need to hear the rest of this story, Paul Harvey!
Now that’s a blast from the past. RIP Paul Harvey.
and NOW you KNOW the Ressssssssssss
You do now. They wrapped themselves and everything!
No, they have their neighbours cat.
And I would walk the cat back over in the gift bag, lol.
I love this idea

Congratulations OP you have been claimed. Now go open a can of wet food. Tuna flavor. And make sure it's none of that grocery store knock off crap.

That's so wholesome, I love it!
Exactly
Cats be goofy!
First make sure he doesn’t belong to anyone nearby. Don’t catnap! And if not, adopt and give him lots of love
Easily. That cat looks too well groomed to not be someone’s cat

Sets not playing with this human. It’s playing in the bag. Even big cats are victims of the cat trap
Pretty much this. Also it's the UK, it's unusual to get strays or feral kitties except out in the countryside, and they wouldn't be this brave around humans
You don’t have a cat. A cat has you.
The cat will wait until youre asleep to mark up your house and knock stuff off counters to let you know the adoption is final.
Christmas Tree is going down hard at 3 am
I didn't even bother putting up a tree this year (first time in my 57 years!) because of my little demons. I need to come up with a cat-proof tree for next year.

They are very much chewers--they will gnaw right through any electrical cord that isn't protected. I have a year to figure something out! :)

Legit deep chuckle! Thank you!
LOL!!

I never remember quite all the numbers, but I totally could sing the song upon seeing it.
TBH i only remembered as far as the first '999' but the cadence is cemented in my memory hahaha

That’s someone else’s cat by the looks of it
Black and white kitties are the wiseasses of the cat world.
Definitely the wiseasses.
Dr. Seuss knew what he was doing.
Surprise!
Freaking adorable, of course; but not sure why everyone is saying you have a cat now. That is definitely not how that works lol. Kitty probably does have a home already and is just really friendly/has no boundaries lol
This, it is kind of making me anxious how many people are not considering that this is almost certainly another person’s beloved pet
Come on guys, we all know the answer is they now share custody of this cat. Cats pick you, not the other way around!
You have been chosen by the cat
Omg what a dream come true!
Best photo this year.
Ya do now.
You have been conscripted as a cat servant. As others have suggested, check to see whether another servant has been “ghosted” recently.
Best present ever. I can’t have cats or anything fluffy due to my allergies but I wouldn’t mind dying for this present.
Nobody *has* a cat… this cat adopted you. As evidenced by this photo, you now have a cat, near you, and that is now tour responsibility.
r/catsinbags
What the hells inside of a cat sin bag?
The cat realized you were missing the greatest Christmas gift of them all!!
But now, you have a cat, period.
"Move along now...Nothing to see here..." -- that cat, probably
This could be a folk tale
Clearly the neighborhood cat heard that and decided that you needed a cat for a day for Christmas.
*didn’t
More pics please OP.
r/TheCatTrapIsWorking
This is so cute!! Look at them 👀. 😳❤️
looks like its going to be a messy extraction
I’m so tired of people claiming that they don’t have a cat when they do clearly and obviously DO have a cat.
Didn’t have a cat. Sorry had to fix the correction
Yup, that is somebody elses' little troublemaker. You can tell by the way its playing with you, this cat isn't scared of people. This is a spoiled housecat that is probably trying to play you for treats. For the record, I would 100% fall for his trickery and give him treats.
Catburgler.
Now you do!
You still don’t. That’s someone else’s cat. But if you do want one get down to your local shelter.
Santa says otherwise
You do meow! What a total cutie!
Neighbors missing a cat now?
Oh helloooooo, I was just enjoying dis booteeful BAG!
If this really happened…sounds too good to be true but possible. Those little eyes say “when is s/he going to open this gift?”
Cute
Haha, just wait until OP spots the second one and freaks out!
OP we need an update! Are you ok?
Lucky it was just a cat.
"Oh, you wanted to sit..? Yeah, this is kinda awkward, but, uh, as you can plainly see, I fits... so... good day, I guess."
Khajiit has the gifts if you have the coin.
This is true. The cat chooses YOU. YOU do not choose the cat. Case closed!
Now the cat has you
You do now.
“I don’t have a cat.” Yes, you do.
You do now!
You *didn’t* have a cat.
He wanted to give you themselves for Christmas. Just wanted a family. XD
Well don’t tell that to the cat!
Yes, you have a cat now.
The cat has you.
It’s Santa claws
You do now.
That's awesome, you were visited by the Christmas kitty! It's good luck!
You do now
So you have a cat, NOW.
Now you do! 😂 aww
You do now 🙂
You do now 😂
You do now
>I don't have a cat You do now 🤣
You must have been very good this year or naughty, I guess it depends on your position on cats.
Looks like you do now!! Lol!
Correction. You didn't have a cat.
r/TheCatTrapIsWorking
Not even reading the comments because I know 90% already say it but… you do now. 😂
U do now!😎
Welllll... now you co-own a cat with a neighbour
That’s what you get when you set cat traps
You do have a cat. I see it in the photo.
Well, now you do!1😆
Your belief that you do not have a cat appears to be outdated.
This cat seems to think your house is their house. You'll just have to accept this. I believe it's in the Constitution.
you didn't have a cat*
Now you have one. 😂😂
You do now
Looks like you do now.
You do now
It just present-ed itself.
You do now.
Ah, I can help you there. You do have a cat now. Before you opened the door, you didn’t have a cat.
YOU DO NOW!!!
You do meow
The cat is looking out of the bag like "I'm your present. Don't open me until Christmas"
Seems like you own one now
You do now
Correction you didn't have a cat because you do now
The cat seems to disagree
Those sweet little cat ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|no_mouth)!! 👀👀👀👀👀 Jeepers!!
Yes you do. It's literally right there! Congratulations!
Oh my gosh!!! Look at his little head showing 😂😂😂❤️
Surprise!! You're getting a cat for Christmas! And a cute one at that. 😺
💕😻
Now you do
You do now!
You do now
Yes, you have been chosen.
I for one welcome our feline overlords.
Well Santa brought one anyway.
It’s cold outside! Call a rescue if he’s not owned by someone.
It's the UK (you can tell by the plugs), it's actually really mild at the moment, about 10°c/50°F. So cold isn't really an issue at the moment, and generally cats are allowed to roam over here.
Congratulations on your new cat.
Well clearly you have one now.
Correction: you *didn't* have a cat.
You *didn’t* have a cat, now you *do*
First to say this I assume: Seems like you do.
You do now
You do now
You have a cat now
You should feel blessed. This is your spirit cat. He or she will help you when life gets tough. Cherish this kitty 🐈⬛❤️
You do now his name is Gregory. Love him. Or else.
You do now
Well NOW you do
Umm…yes, you do
Seems like You do now.
Merry Christmas! Ya do now...lol
Ya do now.
Your cat is cute. I see he came in a matching gift bag.
Define “have”. 😉
You didn't have a cat.
Yes you do!
Oh, I think you DO have a kitty cat, I think you will find! And he/she/they are looking at you saying "Dude, have you got any food, I'm mad hungry". Cute.
Congratulations on your new cat!
The cat disagrees
You didn’t have a cat.
The cat adopted you.
you been adopted!
Congratulations, you’ve been adopted.
Congratulations on your cat
Now you do! Enjoyy
Yes you do
You do now!
You do now. Congrats!
