19 Times Pets Invaded Their Owners’ Homes And Said “From Now On I’m Living Here”
July 5, 2022
Normally, we select our pets on our own. We learn everything we can about the breed we’re interested in, including its personality and how to care for it. Following that, we either visit a breeder to meet animals looking for a new home or visit adoption centers to meet animals that have lost their homes and are hoping to find a new loving family. However, things don’t always go as planned, and the decision to adopt a pet isn’t always ours to make.
We at defused believe that fighting an animal’s choice of you as their human is futile. All that’s left for you to do now is love your new pet and spoil them, we just never have to stay alone.
1. I’m allergic, but she chose me. I guess I’m a dad now.”

- “So I was on my way to work and suddenly a mouse-sized kitten appeared out of nowhere and got into my hood.”
“All of my attempts to get him out on my own failed. I had to return home, where the ‘hitchhiker’ gratefully exited my hood and sat on the floor. I was also late for work.”
- “She came to our car one fine day. We felt pity and decided to find a home for her, but it turned out that no one wanted her. Now we have 3 dogs.”
5. “11 years ago a black cat, together with its babies, crossed my and my friends’ path. I called them but they jumped into the bushes and only one kitten came up to me.”

“At that moment I told my friends that if he lets me take him in my arms and if he is completely black, I’ll take him home. He instantly agreed to come into my arms and turned out to be totally black. So I took this little sweetie home. It’s already been 11 years since the smart and gorgeous Richard became a part of my family.”
6. “2 years ago today I found my best friend in a gym parking lot. ”

7. “He was sitting near our fence and even though our dog had been barking at him the entire morning, he didn’t leave. My husband doesn’t like cats very much, but agreed to adopt this one without persuasion.”

8. “I have been chasing the neighbors’ cat out of our garden for the entire summer. Still, when the weather got colder, she started to sneak into our house through a small window and sleep with us.”

“I started to keep all the windows shut. But once, my husband and I left the house for a weekend and when we came back, we saw her sleeping in an armchair. It was all because I had left one small window in the greenhouse half-open. How did she manage to jump so high and open it? She won this fight and now she’s our pet.”
9. “I was throwing out the garbage before going to work, when I suddenly heard a squeak in the street. It was 14°F outside. I went up to the garbage cans and saw these 2 muzzles.”

“I looked around to check and see where their mother was, but there was no one around. I stretched my arms to grab them, but seeing this the puppies started to cry, so I looked around once again but there was no one there. I don’t know where my fear went, but I got brave, took them, and put them into my car — that’s how our life together started. Now they are grown-up: the girl-doggy lives with us, the boy-doggy lives with our parents at their country house.”
10. “Found this girl in November 2019. She walked right up to the door of my job.”

“I posted on social media, to try to see if anyone would claim her, but someone said she looked like a stray that hung around the dumpster outside his job. I named her Hops after the restaurant. She’s now chunky and happy.”
11. “He came to us from our neighbors.”

15. “This stray Momma decided to bring me her litter and was quite insistent on coming in.”
“I took this pic when I first woke up. I had not even had coffee yet and had a family of refugee kittens pressed against the door. I put them a box out there at first, with some blankets, but they kept falling off the porch, so I ended up bringing them in the house.”
16.“3 years ago we found a dog at a gas station in February, the time of the most severe frosts. So we adopted her. One month later, she found a kitten in the bushes. It seems she’s proud that she’s also saved someone.”

17.“I already had 2 cats and never thought about getting a third one. Then one day I was visiting my friend, a breeder of Kurilian bobtails.”
“Once I sat down, he came up to my knees and I was preoccupied by him for the entire evening. No one else was allowed to approach me. At night, he lied down on my shoulder and I was sleeping while listening to his loud purring. Eventually, in the morning I called home with a question, “Can I come home with him, please?”
18. “My family and I went for a walk and a little squeaky kitten started to follow us.”
