Cats can be pretty quiet creatures, minding their own business and generally just doing their cat thing. For this reason, I guess that mixing your own cat with another identical-looking kitty can almost be understandable, although you really should know better.
Check out this New Zealand man’s Twitter story about his friend, who did just that and thought that his neighbour’s cat was his own, and was just acting a bit weird lately. It’s a bizarre series of events involving a vet, drugs and a pretty freaked out neighbour, but all’s well that ends well. Scroll down below to follow the story and tell us what you think in the comments!

Our cat has an open window policy - she's indoor but can go out on the one roof so she's not ground level. However, clever cat found out a way to get down, and also back up again, with friends. Every once in awhile we come home to multiple cats hanging out in the house and the poor dog going berserk. She brings home friends. She's fixed, so it's just a catnip party at this point, lol No mistaken identity other than I have no idea where these extra cats belong.

I came here to say this. My car is a bit of an a-hole of cat. I know him mannerisms and how he communicates. I would have noticed within an hour of tops.

I just don't understand how you could not know. I don't think I've ever had a moment where I look at another animal and confuse it for my own. They all have their own very unique appearances to me.

Was wondering the same thing. Appearance, sounds, character, behavior,.... Kinda weird if you don't recognize your own pet.

We had a black lab that was an escape artist. A neighbor walked him back to our house one morning and was joined by an identical black lab also wearing a red collar. He had no idea which dog was ours. All ended well, fortunately. The new neighbors came to claim their twin dog from our yard.

I once had a cat that took off (he was a real jerk, a total laundry pee-er and yes I took him to the vet, tried to re-train him,etc) for about 18 MONTHS! I thought he was surely dead. In the mean time we got another cat who was an orange tiger just like he was. SO....one day I heard scratching at the cellar door, I opened it up and saw an orange tiger and let him in, thinking it was our new, non laundry peeing cat.......then a few hours later our new cat came in and I realized that had happened! It was the cat from over a year before! (Oh, and this was confirmed the first time he peed in the (**&^&%$) laundry basket!
