A stray cat was caught impersonating someone else, refuses to confess even under pressure. What can I do? I have no choice but to keep taking care of it, since it's so well-behaved.

The tabby cat at my sister's house ran away for 5 months and then came back on its own. The family was very happy.

It seemed like everything was the same as before. It responded to its name, used its old belongings, and played with its old toys. After coming back, it became especially well-behaved. Everyone thought the cat had learned the value of home after being toughened by the outside world.

Later, when a friend visited, they said, "Your cat's paws look different from before." My sister then looked at old photos and realized that the cat that came back was not the one from their home.

The previous cat had white "gloves" on all four paws, but this one didn't.

My sister went to confront the kitten. The kitten knew it had been caught, but still tried to resist. It hid its paws under its belly, closed its eyes tightly, and no matter how much my sister called it, it just pretended to sleep.

Later, even though my sister discovered the cat was a fake, she still decided to keep it and take care of it. However, due to a work change, she couldn't take the kitten with her and had to ask her grandmother to look after it for a while.

Could it be that the original cat had dreams of adventure? Maybe it went out and found a cat that looked like it, trained it to be cute and affectionate, and then sent it home while it went off to roam the world with a sword?

To my surprise, there were quite a few netizens with similar experiences:

My little orange cat did the same. It went missing for a month and then came back. It acted naturally when it got home, and the family thought it was just thin from hunger. But a few days later, the real one returned, and it was a bit awkward.

Another netizen shared an even stranger story: On my way home from school, I saw a cat that looked just like mine. Since it had a similar build, I called it a few times, and to my surprise, it ran right up to me and started playing. After playing for a while, I went home, only to find out my cat was missing. It turned out the cat I played with on the road was mine. Luckily, I ran back out and was able to grab it and bring it home.

Some people said: My cat originally had yellow eyes. It went missing for half a month and then came back. It responded when we called its name, and it even acted cute. The whole family loved it. Six months later, when we looked at pictures, we realized it wasn't our cat after all, just one with yellow eyes.

What's even funnier is that some netizens realized they had "two fake cats." One netizen said: "Mine is even worse. Two cats kept coming to eat and drink, taking turns. At first, I didn't notice and thought, 'Why is this cat eating so much?' It would finish a bowl of food in no time. Then one day, both cats showed up together eating, and that's when I realized."

From this incident, it seems that people have also discovered the "clever tricks" of stray cats.

Perhaps in the walnut-sized brain of a kitten, there are many ideas and strategies that we humans cannot understand. In their world, there might be a way of survival and social strategy of their own. And we, as seemingly controlling masters, sometimes fall for the kitten's "schemes," willingly deceived and gladly accepting them.
