Guy Sets up a Stray Cat Hotel in His Garage and Finds an Unexpected Guest

That's definitely not a cat!

It's no secret that animal lovers have big hearts, and @Lily the Skunk's dad is definitely one of those people. He shared a video of his stray cat hotel in his garage on Wednesday, November 8th, and it'll make your heart happy.

The video starts with dad showing us the setup of the hotel. There are food and water bowls, and plenty of sleeping spaces. There are three cats enjoying their new digs, and one visitor who is definitely not a cat!

That's not a cat! At first I thought it might be @Lily the Skunk, but as he got closer, I could tell it was an opossum! He just wondered in and made himself at home. The cats weren't bothered by him at all. I thought it was funny that Lily's dad said that they don't check IDs...that would explain how the opossum got a room there!

Commenters got a kick out of the video, too. @7car0lina4 said, "That opossum is getting the best night's sleep of his life!" @Dezzy shared, "My cats love their opossum friend! They even share their food!" @Brittney Markert added, "That possum is not only alive but well!" @Kathryn advised, "That opossum is gonna eat all the buggies around your house! He's almost better than a cat, honestly". @Amanda laughed, "Also the orange cat above the opossum is feral AF and probably chilled with that opossum for months before they found paradise LOL!"

I love the idea of a stray cat hotel! I've been trying to make the neighborhood feral cat like me now for more than a year, but he still won't get anywhere close to me. Maybe if I set up a bed, he'll be more comfortable and relaxed so I can finally pet him!
