40 ‘My House, Not My Cat’ Pics That You Will Love If You’ve Ever Wanted To Find A Strange Cat Show Up In Your Home

The founder of My House, Not My Cat told us that there are 3 admins who monitor the posts and she also went into detail about the rules that members of the group have to follow. 

“We do have rules that they [the posts] have to be group-specific, and we decline some that aren't. Other animals, for example, maybe funny but we want to be specific. Our rules are: it has to be your house (or yard, or deck, or work) and it has to be not your cat (we call them NMCs, for Not My Cat). We do accept ‘My Cat, Not My House’ because we have found that sometimes neighbors text pictures of people's cats in their house. It's kind of turned around, but the same concept.”

She continued: “Also, the cats have to be a surprise. At least the first post—people give updates on NMCs all the time. We have some favorites: Matthew, The Squatter Kitty, and Felix.”

Stephanie said that Felix lives in her hometown and visits a good friend of her’s. “She had no idea I ran this group but just started posting pictures of him on her personal page.”

According to the founder, random cats popping up and meowndering into your home is far more common than most people would think.

“We get people all the time who join and say, ‘I probably won't post anything because I won't get that lucky’ and then, poof! There's a strange cat in their house.”

The Facebook group is open to anyone who agrees to follow the rules. That includes common sense things like being nice and not sharing viral photos.

“If people are nasty or complain or jump all over someone for something, they are yeeted. But most people behave themselves and it's a fun group.”
