This is not my cat: Feline friends who picked their humans

A collection of cats who have adopted a human.

It's happened to all of us: you fall asleep alone and wake up an hour later cuddling a cat.

But that isn't your cat. You don't own a cat. Of course, that hasn't stopped him from breaking in and finding the most comfortable bit of the linen closet to claim as his own.

Whether it's our next-door neighbor's tabby that always appears in our yard or a ragdoll that has somehow slipped through the open window on the second floor, cats have a way of ending up in our lives (and cupboards) when we least expect it.

This Is Not My Cat is a collection of stories and photos of the cats who have charmed their ways into our lives-or occasionally scared us in our bathroom.
