Losing a cat can be a stressful experience for any pet owner. The worry over whether they’re safe, eating, or even planning to come back can take a toll. But for one cat owner, the return of their feline friend brought an unexpected surprise—along with a whole group of new companions.
A black cat that had gone missing for two days made her way back home, but not alone. She returned with a small group of baby possums in tow. The cat’s owner shared the unusual reunion on social media with the caption, “My cat showing up after 2 days lost,” leaving many to wonder how the possums ended up tagging along. It’s possible that the young possums had lost their mother and sought comfort from the cat, climbing onto her back as she made her way home.
While the situation may seem strange, it’s sparked a lot of humorous reactions online. One commenter joked, “She only came home because she got herself into a jam and needed help lol.” Another added, “Cat running an adoption agency wasn’t on my bingo card for 2025 yet here we are!” Though details on the cat’s current status remain scarce, the person who shared the video, @bvpaola25, confirmed that the baby possums were taken to safety and are now being cared for.
For the cat, the responsibility of caring for the possums may be over. One can imagine the feline breathing a sigh of relief without the extra responsibility on her back—literally. The story has since gone viral, amusing many animal lovers with its unexpected twist. The cat’s story serves as a reminder to be cautious if your pet decides to go on an adventure—who knows what “adoptive children” they may come back with!
