Most people are familiar with the traditional methods of getting a cat: adopting one from a shelter or rescuing one off of the streets. But there is another way: having one magically turn up at your house. If you're especially lucky, they will teleport inside your house.

The Facebook group My House, Not My Cat celebrates these magical cats who turn up in people's homes seemingly out of nowhere and adopt us as their humans. The group has grown to 43.5k members who come together over the Internet to marvel at the adorable kitties and laugh about their audacious behavior and the humans' surprise at their forceful new guests.

So scroll on down for hilarious photos of bold cats invading human homes (and hearts) with their sneaky but adorable little selves.
