Hysterics as Woman Finally Gets 'Confirmation' Cat Is Living a Double Life

A woman has shared the moment she finally found proof her cat is living a double life.The owner, who goes by Ais online, is the owner of a fluffy orange cat who “hates collars,” and, as is common in Ireland, where she’s believed to be based, is allowed free rein outside.But while allowing a cat outdoors is normal, it sometimes comes with unexpected consequences—in Ais’s case, her pet having a second home.She shared a video to her TikTok account @aiscatt on June 1, which has been viewed over 200,000 times, along with the caption: “I finally have proof our cat has been living somewhere else.”In it, she walks out to the backyard patio, where the cat is curled up on a chair relaxing. And as he gets up to greet her with a headbutt, a bright blue-and-orange collar, along with a bell, becomes visible on his neck.”Someone’s put a collar on our cat. Confirmation he’s got at least two houses,” she wrote, adding that he “hates collars” and “we can’t get him to wear one.”The clip ends with Ais taking the other home’s collar off her cat, as he jumps from the chair, stretches, and heads off for another adventure.TikTok users had a big response, one commenter writing: “A cat chooses its owner— sometimes they choose more than one. Feel honoured he still wants you (as well as the others).””Who would look at that cat and think he’s a stray, he’s cleaarly so well looked after by you,” another wrote, while one shared that the same thing had happened to them, and “my cat chose them.”One revealed a similar situation happened with her cat, and they “got in touch with my cat’s ‘other’ family and we co-parented. It was very amicable.”Ais explained in the comments that her cat is microchipped, so if anyone does believe he’s a stray the veterinarian will be able to track her down. She added that any time they’ve tried a collar on him, “he usually removed the collars himself within a few hours.”In the United States, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) urges cat owners to keep cats indoors, as outdoor cats are at higher risk of trauma from cats, predators and fights with other cats.In parts of Europe, including Ireland and the UK, indoor cats with free access to the outdoors are more common: the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) acknowledges the risks of the outdoors, but states indoor-only cats can experience stress, inactivity and obesity.Owners of indoor-only cats should take time and effort to ensure their cat is kept mentally and physically stimulated.Newsweek has contacted @aiscatt via TikTok for comment on this story.Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?
