A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Sneakin' around
Today, my neighbor knocked on my door and asked if I'd seen her cat. I helped her search the hallway, basement, and garden for 30 minutes. We finally found it sitting inside my apartment, where I had apparently been living with it for three days without noticing. FML

Today, my sister came over for a visit. I was going to surprise her with the news that I had spontaneously gotten a cat. The first thing she told me when she came in was that she ran over my neighbor's cat. None of my neighbors have cats. FML

Today, my neighbor let me know that they've been taking care of my cats while I was away, including letting them in and out of my house. I don't own a cat. FML

Today, I discovered my cat prefers my neighbour. I know this because she posted pictures of him on Instagram, captioned "My new baby." FML

Today, I found out that my upstairs neighbor has a cat. I was blessed with this knowledge when she threw several piles of used kitty litter and cat poop over her balcony and onto my patio. FML

Spay and neuter, people!
Today, I took in an old friend’s fat cat for a month until she finds a place to live. Turns out the cat isn’t fat, just pregnant. I found out when I found two of her dead kittens in my living room. FML

Today, I adopted a stray cat that kept showing up at my door. Turns out, it belongs to my neighbours. It wasn’t lost; it just doesn’t like living with them. Now, they want it back. FML

Cat Burglar!
Today, I found my lost cat. As I was hooking it up to a leash to get it in my car, a man approached and asked what I was doing. His kids alerted him that there was a woman stealing their cat from their front lawn. It was not my cat. FML

Today, after being convinced that my cat had worms due to eating so much food and still looking really skinny, I found out that my neighbor secretly lets his dog in through my pet door while I'm at work. FML

Rule #1 when finding a stray cat in your neighborhood: go and see if it belongs to anyone. Hope you guys can work something out. Good luck.

I hope the owner does the right thing and lets you keep the cat, since after 3 years you and kitty probably are pretty attached.

I see custody battle on the harizan. Hire a good divorce lawyer.

I can honestly say I've had this happen. And she is still ours.

I'd say its your cat now. you've been taking care of him/her for three years. its yours

How is that even possible!?!

You should keep it, it doesn't deserve to go back to an owner who treats it poorly enough to be lost and not try to find it for 3 years

After 3 years its hard to belive your animal is still alive by itself...They probally thought it was dead or found by a shelter/pound

Maybe OP doesn't allow the cat to be outside. Anyway, a lot of cats happen to look alike. I found out my kitten that went missing when I was 10 (I'm now 17) has been at my neighbor's the whole time. The neighbor probably assumed that after three years the cat definitely wouldn't be back, and gave up search.

The cat must like you more if it stayed with you for three years.

At least they didn't call her name. Also an awkward conversation
