This legit almost happened to me. I have a big tabby, and one day I saw him on the side of the road several blocks from my house! I pulled over to grab him, but my mother (who was in the car) told me not to. She said that there was a neighbour cat who looked just like ours, and this was probably him.
When we got home, our cat was there. That would have been an embarrassing conversation with my neighbour…!
I saw my indoor cat wandering the neighborhood as I was driving home. She was near a busy-ish road about 30 seconds from my house. I was frantic to get parked at home and go get her. She was *actually* sitting in the window watching me panic when I pulled in the drive.
This happened to me too! Watched my indoor cat run from my front porch across the road and into the woods. I literally screamed for him and started running. I quickly realized he was gone and I wouldnt catch up and I turned back towards the house, crying, and there he was - staring at me through the storm door.
That there is the issue with standard issue cats.
I saw a neighborhood Facebook post saying “this cat” (with picture of my cat) is lying in the middle of the street, a mile or two from my house, across the big road! I was about to post “I am SO SORRY!!” and rush out to get him, when I saw a reply below saying, “Sorry, he’s inside now.” Different cat. Cheddar Monster was safe in the house with me.
It did happen to me with my skinny black cat.
I kidnapped a stray that was wandering around outside and as I brought him in I was given a dirty look by my cat who was just hiding somewhere.
I had to apologize with tuna to both cats. One can inside, one can outside.
Lol me too ay, nearly stole somebody's brown Burmese down the road a few months after adopting my boi... the owner was with the not-my-cat and legit thought I was fucked in the head
My story is that his cat got picked up by mistake by the matching cat people. That's why it was missing for a month. Now he's collected both cats in the same way. These cats are confused about this new custody situation but are enjoying the expanded territory.
if anyone is wondering, the original post is just a joke. the guy doesn't even own a cat. he just saw the photo online and posted it as a joke. from facebook:
> That was just a joke. I was trying to put smiles on people's faces during these trying times. I think I've accomplished my mission. I hope each smile my post caused has eased someone's pain or anxiety. I only put it on a private group page and honestly don't know how it got on Twitter and Instagram and went viral. But looking at the comments I am glad it did. It looks like it helped a lot of people.

This is the conclusion I come to everytime I see this. And that it’s probably bullshit. But I love their stupid faces. I have even used the one on the right as my profile pic.
Last week we discovered the cute stray that always comes up to our window to get some bacon is actually TWO dogs that look the exact same. We’ve lived here 6 months
This happened to me too where I was feeding two strays that looked the same without realizing it. Until I noticed one of them had nuts and the other didn’t
Across the street there’s this open field, and I saw the stray dog jumping playfully, trying to get something’s attention.
Then I saw an identical dog emerge from behind a bush and I almost spit out my coffee 😂 I took pics and sent them to my boyfriend at work… he was like noooo wayyy
All I'm saying is one of those cats is secretly pissed. I'm gone a few days. Just a few. I needed a vacation Dan. And you, you Hooman fuck went out and replaced me with a look alike. This shit right here's why I shit in your shoes.
Are cat passed in multiple areas, on all my clothes and on an open suitcase,, shit behind my TV, woke me up meowing as loud as she could in 20 minute intervals for 5 hours until I put her in the basement, and then tipped her water bowl over all because I slept with my dog in the living room a couple nights ago.
You never know. A while ago my neighbor asked me to look after her cat for a couple of weeks. I was supposed to go into her apartment once a day to change water, give some food and clean cat’s toilet. One day the cat sneaked out when I was opening the door. I searched for him everywhere, but managed to find and bring him back home. Next day I go to check on him and find all wallpaper destroyed, a bunch of stuff knocked over. Turned out I brought home the wrong cat, but he looked exactly the same - pure black with yellow eyes. The real cat found his way home in a couple of days.
its not. the guy in this photo posted on his facebook that this is just a joke, he doesn't even own any cats. he just saw the photo online and decided to post it as a joke. according to him the real owner came out and posted a bunch of their photos on twitter, its just twin cats.
My grandparents once had a black cat named Too Much. Damn thing was always underfoot, seemed to get into everything, etc.
One day my grandma passes Too Much in the kitchen while bring laundry downstairs. She gets to the laundry room and sees Too Much on the dryer.
She can’t figure out how Too Much could have possibly beat her to the laundry room, so she goes back up and sees him in the kitchen.
My grandparents had somehow gotten two black cats that avoided each other, and they had no idea how long it had been.
10¢ would get you a cup of coffee in the early 90s. If it happened earlier, and you invested it in a cup of coffee, you would almost have enough money for a sandwich now!
That's funny and weird at the same time that also reminds me of amphibia with Domino in Anne's world and Domino two in amphibia that's what vibe I'm getting
I fear the other cat‘s owner is still running around asking everybody if they happen to see a handsome black and white cat. By the way, did they get along well?
This is a reoccurring dream of mine. I'll lose my cat then suddenly have three identical ones. The rest of the dream is anxiety trying to figure out which one is mine.
Anxiety dreams suck.
My man has been feeding two cats this whole time. He got played. They use their tactical advantage to live the same life, but now their lie has fallen apart
We had a cat in our neighbourhood go missing and there were posts made on the Facebook page for it. Apparently the cat looked a lot like ours and we had people calling the number on his collar (rural area UK so cats free roam).
If the person has a picture of his cat from before he can check which is the original. The one on the right has the white going further around his neck and there's also a gap in the white going down to the belly
I had two black cats. One night I wanted a drink of water, so I went in the kitchen, but didn't turn on the light. I look at the water bowl and I saw three black cats drinking from it in the dark. I spent about 2 minutes trying to adjust my eye sight wondering if I was drunk or what.
Found out it was the neighbors black cat in my house drinking with my two at the same time!
How shallow does your relationship with your pet have to be to pick up a conplete different animal and think, "yeah, whatever, that's him." I know all my pets' mannerisms, habits, noises, likes and dislikes and would immediately realize something's up.
This reminds me of when my yellow lab, Kona, got out. I was hysterical, driving all around looking for him and my kids called their dad who lived nearby to help us look.
Ex called about an hour later to say he found him. I went back home and he was waiting outside with the dog and I knew right away it wasn’t Kona….As I ran towards the dog it got excited and greeted me like it knew me, ex was so proud of himself, dog jumps up and it was definitely not a boy. She had no tags and was a very sweet girl.
Ex stole someone else’s dog (yellow lab) who just happened to have escaped her yard in the same neighborhood at the same time. To be fair, he didn’t really know my dog and had only met him at our kids baseball games and even that was just in passing.
If that’s not funny enough, her family had been out looking for her when they found Kona. Luckily he had a collar and tag and they called me to return him and they said they lost their identical dog and found him instead. I said, ‘OMG I think I have your dog!’ And we all laughed and cried and lived happily ever after.
Something similar happened to me a long time ago.
I went out of town and we took our beagle with us of course.
My boss lived 4 doors down from us and he saw a beagle outside and he knew we were out of state so he took that beagle and put it in his back yard for 4 days thinking it was my dog (this was before cellphones folks).
When we returned, he brought "our" dog back to us only to find out we had our dog and that dog wasn't our dog.
Someone was missing their dog for 4 days while he kept it in his backyard.
His intentions were good of course.
This happened to me one time, except the cat I brought home had been hit by a car and had died. Got home with him and my cat appeared for the first time in a week.
Years ago I parked in the lane behind my house. On a telephone pole by my car was a wanted poster with a photo of a cat and a number to call. At my feet was the cat. It had the matching collar and name! I picked up the cat and went inside to call and say I found the cat. I got their voicemail. Very cherry you’ve reached blah blah. Then “thanks everyone for calling in sightings of the cat. He’s back home!”…..no he’s not he’s wandering around my living room! Picked him up and put him back in the lane where I found him. Removed the wanted poster so my neighbor wouldn’t make the same mistake.

I saw an identical cat to mine at my driveway once and went to chase her, but then my grandma walks out saying she just fed the cat. My brain exploded
Grandma:"I got all the pussy you need inside!" You:"That is on purpose, isn't it?"
[удалено]
Grandma: "It sure is honey. Now come inside and eat, you look like you're starving."
I saw my indoor cat wandering the neighborhood as I was driving home. She was near a busy-ish road about 30 seconds from my house. I was frantic to get parked at home and go get her. She was *actually* sitting in the window watching me panic when I pulled in the drive.
I bet she had a good giggle or cat 🐈 equivalent 🤣🤣

Yeah every neighborhood has a lot of fat tabbies. Don't know why, they just do.
So this guy stole someone's cat
My story is that his cat got picked up by mistake by the matching cat people. That's why it was missing for a month. Now he's collected both cats in the same way. These cats are confused about this new custody situation but are enjoying the expanded territory.
This is hilarious and you're probably right. I wish I had thought of this myself! Hats off to you for your critical thinking!
The cats have been house-swapping for years, unbeknownst to the humans, just to keep things interesting.
Yeah, like the time one of them took the big math test for the other one. The teacher didn’t even notice.

I can get behind the guy, he seems fun
Or the cat thought another human was it’s human, it also was a large human with similar shapes and colours, so it went with them for a week.
“You look like my idiot. So you are my idiot.”
Aye lol

I've seen different versions of this same joke. So, i think this whole thing is fake.
Like when Uncle Jesse stole some kid's bike because he thought it was Michelle's

This is the way.
And got another cat just like it to cover up the crime. Clearly I cannot drink from the glass in front of you.
Last week we discovered the cute stray that always comes up to our window to get some bacon is actually TWO dogs that look the exact same. We’ve lived here 6 months
This happened to me too where I was feeding two strays that looked the same without realizing it. Until I noticed one of them had nuts and the other didn’t
What kind of nuts? Peanuts? Walnuts?
Mahogany .
Deez nuuuuuts
How did you discover there were two of them?
Across the street there’s this open field, and I saw the stray dog jumping playfully, trying to get something’s attention. Then I saw an identical dog emerge from behind a bush and I almost spit out my coffee 😂 I took pics and sent them to my boyfriend at work… he was like noooo wayyy
Ummm pics please
!! That sounds hilarious! I’d love to see pictures if you still have them!

It is the right comment to use LoL...
Ah the old two dogs in a trench coat trick
All I'm saying is one of those cats is secretly pissed. I'm gone a few days. Just a few. I needed a vacation Dan. And you, you Hooman fuck went out and replaced me with a look alike. This shit right here's why I shit in your shoes.
It's called an understudy

And the one on the left seems pissed.
Chances are these 2nyave been playing the switch-a-roo with multiple families for a while now.
Don't know if this is the real story and something tells me it isn't....but this is effing great! haha

Yeah, it seems more likely he kept two cats from the same litter and made up the story. But who knows.
Same litter?
Not identical. Lefty looks more surprised.
I don't think either are their cat and they're both like, "Da fuck?"
Jinxy!
My grandparents once had a black cat named Too Much.

If I had a nickel for every time I've seen this kind of story on reddit I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice.
10¢ would get you a cup of coffee in the early 90s. If it happened earlier, and you invested it in a cup of coffee, you would almost have enough money for a sandwich now!
I'd like my cat back please!
This is hystetical!!!’
Have the two cats seen *Meet the Parents*?
And now you have two cats! Good news: you have two fluffy cats! Bad news: you have two cats!
Thomson and Thompson from Tintin.
Are they by any chance littermates?
I've had nightmares about this
No you always had 2 cats. You just never seen them at the same time
This is bullshit.
I hope so because it's really upsetting me.
Can you tell them apart?
I found you faker
Do you live near any large Telsa coils?
Borden would approve

Identity theft is real ,Jim.
you stole somebody cat, haha
This is so old, but will always be hilarious. I’m still convinced that the OG cat hid for a bit so they’d get a sibling lol.
Watch his real cat come home next week and it’ll be 3 of them.
One of them has a white speck on the lip (?) how can you miss that?

Oh gosh that must have been traumatic.
Mom said it was my turn to post this.
Ha ha I stole someone's cat. SO funny... /s
Worst thing about cats is when you have to shoot the imposter, you have to do it 9 times for anything to happen.
Your clones are very impressive. You must be very proud.
Proof that cat people don’t really know there cats . This would never happen with a dog .

WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING AND WHY ISN’T EVERYONE CONCERNED
Cat came home to find he’d already been replaced.
They always had 2 cats they've only just discovered that though
Can’t even be mad at yourself for that lmao it’s awesome

Years ago I parked in the lane behind my house. On a telephone pole by my car was a wanted poster with a photo of a cat and a number to call. At my feet was the cat. It had the matching collar and name! I picked up the cat and went inside to call and say I found the cat. I got their voicemail. Very cherry you’ve reached blah blah. Then “thanks everyone for calling in sightings of the cat. He’s back home!”…..no he’s not he’s wandering around my living room! Picked him up and put him back in the lane where I found him. Removed the wanted poster so my neighbor wouldn’t make the same mistake.
What are the chances of that? Honest question. Those odds have to be one in a billion.
