Cats and social media go hand in hand, paw in paw, and paw in hand. It's also true that Facebook is one heck of a social media platform with no shortage of fun ways for all of us to pass our time.

These truths intersect for any of us who are obsessed with cats. A lot of us are obsessed with cats.

One group on Facebook you might find pawsitively irresistible once you think about it is the Facebook group called My House, Not My Cat. Cats can be surprisingly independent even to those of us who have a firm grasp on their purrsonality type!

Still, a cat that doesn't live exclusively indoors or even a cat that sneaks out is not remotely ashamed to make his or herself right at home... in someone else's home! Plus, with cats, the more outrageous the circumstances, the funnier the incident tends to be.

1. "This Is My House And This Is What Greets Me When I Open My Front Door. We Have 2 Cats And This Is Not One Of Them"

Hello precious.

2. "I Was Directed Here From Another Group. This Is Not My House, Its My Parents New Neighbors House. And This Is Definitely Not My Cat."

Oh... Oh my.

3. "My House. Not My Cat. It Only Took 10 Years, But One Of Our Long Term Ferals We Have Cared For Just Crawled Into My Lap. I've Never Felt More Honored"

Patience is a virtue.

4. "3 Years Ago On Bonfire Night This Void Yelled Out From The Void Of My Damn Walls/Roof. My Wall Vent, Not My Cat"

Images you can hear.

The best guardian of the packages.

This face though, it's purr-fect

11. "My Kitchen, Not My Cat. My Older Cat Escorted Him In Through The Kitty Door And Walked Him Over To The Food Bowl!"

A face no one could say no to.

12. "My House, My Bed, Not My Cat! This Is Max, A Ginger Cat That Belongs To My Neighbor, And He Came By To Watch Some TV With Me"

He has his priorities.

13. "My House’s Cat Bed, Not My Possum..."

Possum, the other cat.

14. "These Two Guys Are My Cat, Bubba’s, Friends. Including Brown Cat! (The Other One I Call Pip). But This Is His Crew. They’re Two Outside Stray Cats, Formed An Alliance W Mine And Have Been Patrolling The Hood Ever Since. Probably Longer Than I Realize"

The S Q U A D

Searching, searching, investigating.

16. "My Husband. Not My Cat. She Wandered In And Became Miss Steal Yo Man. This Was Last Night. She's Still Here Today.... I Don't Think She Has Plans To Leave"

She's beautiful, she can definitely stay.

17. "Stanley Update!"

She's a smart one.

25. "So Sorry For Breaking The Rules (And This Will Be My Only Update I Promise)—i Posted A Few Weeks Ago About The Feral Family Of Six That Are Taking Over My House (But Not My Cats). Today I Caught The Ferals Knotted Up On My Car Sleeping. Two Jumped Down Immediately, But The Rest Took Enough Time Out Of Their Busy Day To Give Me The Stink Eye. When They Feel Brave Enough To Do That, I Think That’s When They Officially Become Your Cats"

Sometimes "not my cat" becomes "forever my cat." It's even better when there's more than one.
