Man Bumps Into His Cat Walking Around Town A Quarter Mile From Home

Any animal we have in our home is going to live a life that is somewhat public and somewhat private. We tend to think of what they are doing when they are right in front of us but, honestly, we have no idea what they are doing when they are out of our sight. Some of them might even have a secret life that would surprise us but sometimes, we get a glimpse of that life and it amazes us.

If you happen to be a ‘cat person’, you already realize just how much they bring to the table. Cats tend to be private animals and when we don’t see them in front of us, we might wonder what they are doing. One Twitter user, @SherlockyTweet may have felt that way but one day, he had the chance to see his cat’s private life up close and personal. After all, he bumped into his cat, Lewis, as he was out on a stroll. It seems that Lewis was just as surprised to see him.

It seems that Lewis likes to wander but not always that far.

Yeah but normally when I’m on foot!

Just because he has four legs doesn’t mean he doesn’t have his own thing going on. 😏

@leif5000 Our old cat used to meet me on the way back from the tube station to our flat & we’d stroll home together. I miss him.

That's how we got our first cat. Followed my mum and aunt home from the pub.

We used to have a cat that would follow us when we walked down to bar, but would hide in bushes. So my neighbors would see me telling the bushes to go home.

I often give our cat a lift home in the car. His favourite place is over half a mile away. He really enjoys the drive home.

I saw my cat in a neigbors window 2 blocks from my house! The cat used to follow me all over the neighborhood on walks and one of the neighbors let her in. She had been going over to their house when I wasn’t home for a year.

Always check to make sure it is your cat

Reminds me of the time I mistook a neighbour's cat for my own and tried to take it home. It luckily made its escape before I got there and I found my cat happily waiting indoors for me on the stairs.

Lewis does have a cat door but it seems difficult to operate.
