Some animals live in packs, some wander alone but all of them need a little love. So much so, that sometimes they decide to visit humans to say 'hi'. Bored Panda has collected pictures of some of the most unexpected animal visits that humans had which prove friendships are universal and not bound by the number of legs.
From a raccoon chilling on a porch, to an owl at a Super Bowl party - these animals seek human companionship just as much as we seek theirs. It's nice to know that despite our industrial attempts to screw up nature some creatures still believe that deep down we're all of the same kind.

A Deer Visits This Cat Every Morning In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
My Parents Started Feeding A Stray Kitten A Couple Weeks Ago. This Was Their Front Porch Today
*-Hey guys I found a good hooman who is gonna feed us all! ~Really? -Yeah! Come on gang! Let's go at their house!* ΧD
I did the same thing, after realizing how many ferals were in our neighborhood, I trapped, vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, and returned nine cats.

Yep, my mom once got kicked out of assisted living cause she wouldn't quit feeding the cats. At 82 cats she got the boot. I think mom was 82 also.
I totally understand... My mom n I feed local strays n we get harassed too. We had to lodge a complaint!

Perfect time to TNR the neighborhood kitties. Trap them in humane traps. Have them neutered. Local animal welfare organizations can help you with this. Release them back into the neighborhood. Your cat colony will now exhibit much less of the annoying behaviors and there will be a marked decrease in the population of starving kittens, road-killed cats etc. Here is an example of an appropriate animal welfare organization. I've been doing this in my neighborhood. https://www.alleycat.org/latest-news/?gclid=CNz3xPKO5tMCFcVlfgodFYkBog
Looks like a family, the one on the far left and the one in the middle are the parents, the rest are the kids. So cute!!! :)
Since we started letting our cat go outside we have had strange cats appearing in our enclosed yard, waiting for him to hang out with them
omg how cute! all those curious little eyes expecting food :) "no one will realise that we're a few more guys this morning. just behave inconspicuously."
They must have some kind of language to share this information, right?
They're just waiting for this restaurant to open the doors. Sounds like these folks did well in the Miche-cat ratings ... probably 4 stars judging from the number of guests. ;)
And this is why I feed more cats than the one Mamma cat that took years to catch. Her off spring were carried by her to our back yard and they all got fixed. Finally caught her and now from 15 to five isn't so bad now. Some did get adopted but I'm noticing that some are returning. I recognize the unmistakable markings and they come when I call out the names I gave them. We are climbing back up again. Cat food is delivered and the city is taking care of the spaying and neutering. No one is taking care of shots, they are all ferrial . Cannot catch them twice, too smart but also way too cute to let them starve.
we did it mum you were right I go alone for a day or two then you guys come Once I am in
A stray cat started showing up at our door when I was a child. After a little while started to come inside and eventually ended up moving in with us until he died many years later.
Can't reply to you, LauraG, but it's called TNR, for Trap, Neuter, Return. Check out the website for Alley Cat Allies!
:ook's a bit like our house when I get up in the morning only the cats are inside and it's foxes looking in !!
Yup, they serve good good at this place. And no one goes away hungry! Start spreading the news...
A few Christmases a friend and his family were sitting down to the annual feast. He saw a raccoon out in his backyard and threw the animal some skin off the turkey. Within 15 minutes they had five raccoons at their French doors lined up in order of size!
So do Humans as they build and build and build.... At least the cats are killing for food.

I use to live out in the woods. I miss the deer so much. We had one mama who came back every year to chill in our yard while she was pregnant. I came out one day and she was skinny and I asked her "where is your baby" she stepped forward and a pair of babies were staring back at me! That was the first time she had 2. We gave the new mama lots of veggies and apples

Love this article - some of the captions are almost as cute as the animals!
AMAZING how cats just don't ask for permission. They come in and BAM they own the place!
Sneaky little bastards! But you gotta love them!! :)

literally finished looking at this thinking how weird all these cats invite themselves in when my husband comes home and a cat walks in!
How come I only get visited by big scary spiders? Oh that's right I live in Australia ;-)

Sure are a lot of people who "don't own a cat" that find a cat randomly in their home... not saying their lying or anything, just never realized how often it (seems to) happen lol
We had a cat move herself in. She lived with us for 7 years then moved out again. We found out that she'd moved in with a lady down the road.

where do these people live? i want to move there. right now! cause when we hear a knock on the door, it's usually some weird guy trying to sell vacuums during siesta!
Those pictures are very cute and worth seeing :) However a request to all who read/watch/take pics of animals - please be aware that some of them are actually really wild animals, that 1. can attack you, 2. can carry rabies (foxes especially), 3. might be scared and needing help (like the owls at home), 4. can easily get used to you and your acceptance and become pests (like racoons). I'm not saying all will, but just perserve reasoning and at least some distance ;)
Technologically we are now able to discover, and pass along, so many examples of animals acting like little people. Its totally changing how we look at the animal kingdom. And once the synthetic meats industry ramps up, there will be more pressure to look at them as something other than a food source. And that's a real Positive thing.
If a cat finds you, and is well fed, friendly and healthy there is every chance someone, somewhere is looking for their missing pet. Take it to a vet and get it scanned for a chip, then you will know for sure. If a cat has a shock it can forget where it lives, you might find your stray comes from just a few streets away.
I can not believe how folks are so comfortable handling raccoons ans opossums.
Really cute <3 but 110% # 90 is not homeless.. he is a Persian and clearly accidentally got outside. If you took him in and you read this you have to give him back to his owners. He would have been expensive and by the looks of his coat very very well loved xxx
Where do these people live? They're so close with nature, I want to move there!
Secondly, if you've ever had the opportunity to feed a hungry animal, you have been rewarded n blessed by nature.
