Imagine walking into your bedroom and finding more cats than you own cuddled up on your bed. Recently, this delightful scenario occurred to a pet owner in Kent, England.
In a Reddit post by Kelly (u/trixy_treat), she shared the amusing discovery of four sleepy felines on her bed when she only had three cats of her own.
One of the unexpected guests, Bluey, turned out to be her neighbor’s cat, who became fast friends with her own fur babies. Despite their initial standoffishness, her cats soon welcomed Bluey into their circle.
Bluey, it seems, enjoys a daytime respite in Kelly’s home, seeking water and afternoon naps before heading back in the evening. Kelly believes Bluey appreciates the tranquility of her place compared to the hustle and bustle next door.
Not all cats are open to making new feline friends, according to Catster, a pet advice portal. Cats can be quite independent, but they have the potential to form lasting bonds, whether with humans or other animals, given time.
The Reddit post has gained viral attention, with over 14,000 upvotes and 307 comments. Users have shared humorous observations and anecdotes about cat behavior and relationships.
For instance, Redditor u/BlackJeepW1 jokingly remarked, “Well, fair enough. I suppose you need one in every corner.” Another user, BruceHoratioWayne, quipped about a cat’s craftiness in blending in with the crew.
Reddit user u/Rnilbog shared their desire for their cats to be as welcoming to new feline acquaintances as Kelly’s. Introducing a new cat to an existing feline household can be tricky, but with patience, it’s possible to foster harmonious relationships eventually.
