This Man Bumped Into His Cat Out For A Stroll Far From Their Home
By Aimee LutkinUpdated Nov. 1 2018, 1:29 p.m. ET
The cat vs. dog debate has been raging for decades, because sure cats will never be as good and kind as these dogs or be elected mayor of a small town. However, that does not mean that cats don't bring their own type of joy to their owners with their nonchalant attitude and independent nature. (Yes, we know some cats like to cuddle, but c'mon, most felines just don't care for people).
And just like there is die-hard dog people, there are die-hard cat people, who will do anything for their four-legged pets, no matter how ungrateful they may appear. Twitter user @SherlockyTweet shared a little run in he had with his own cat far from the house where they supposedly both live. He was in his car, driving around, when he bumped into the feline known as Lewis, out for a stroll. Lewis seems just as surprised to see him:

Did he jump in for a ride
— Fr@$er (@originalfrazzel) April 4, 2018Yep! Drove him back home for his breakfast! :) pic.twitter.com/obKWGtKQG9
— SнеRlock 🕵🏻 (@SherlockyTweet) April 4, 2018Apparently, Lewis has a habit of wandering off, but not usually this far:
Doesn’t he have previous form for this? Such a cutie though 😻
— Simon (@backtothewater) April 4, 2018Yeah but normally when I’m on foot!
— SнеRlock 🕵🏻 (@SherlockyTweet) April 4, 2018Just because he has four legs doesn’t mean he doesn’t have his own thing going on. 😏

— Hello! (@Helen191960) April 5, 2018Other people shared their wandering cat stories in solidarity. Sometimes a kitty must roam:
This is Tommy Pickles. He followed me to the pub, sat outside for 4 hours, then walked me home. What a guy pic.twitter.com/y47JcPZMYW
— Danielle (@Danibrooks87) April 5, 2018Mine does this all the time except he jumps on the outside of the car! Makes me drive all slow cuz I think he’s going to fall off 😆 pic.twitter.com/Ey0vKYbUGk
— 🤨Dorelita🧐 (@doreli12) April 4, 2018@leif5000 Our old cat used to meet me on the way back from the tube station to our flat & we’d stroll home together. I miss him.
— Zandy (@iskandarv) April 4, 2018That's how we got our first cat. Followed my mum and aunt home from the pub.
— Mark Hyde (@markhyde74) April 5, 2018We used to have a cat that would follow us when we walked down to bar, but would hide in bushes. So my neighbors would see me telling the bushes to go home.
— Allison Britt (@iMakeArtifacts) April 5, 2018my cat does this shit omg. i’ll literally yell out the window at him to get him in my car. usually he tried to race me instead tho
— Molly ♈️ (@MollyWHOAFTW) April 4, 2018I often give our cat a lift home in the car. His favourite place is over half a mile away. He really enjoys the drive home.
— Colin (@ekctafc) April 4, 2018Bengal. They roam. Beautiful though. Here's mine pic.twitter.com/sX6KDUC2ua
— Andrew Foreshew-Cain (@churchnw6) April 4, 2018I saw my cat in a neigbors window 2 blocks from my house! The cat used to follow me all over the neighborhood on walks and one of the neighbors let her in. She had been going over to their house when I wasn’t home for a year.
— K Walters 🌊🌎 (@miagl11) April 5, 2018Just make sure the cat is yours before you take it home.
Reminds me of the time I mistook a neighbour's cat for my own and tried to take it home. It luckily made its escape before I got there and I found my cat happily waiting indoors for me on the stairs.
— Baron von Nilesy ★ (@Millhaven_Curse) April 5, 2018Lewis is quite a character, and because of his viral fame, his person is sharing all the classic Lewis tweets of yore. He's the cutest:
Shuddup all of you. pic.twitter.com/xjiqh7yBP3

— SнеRlock 🕵🏻 (@SherlockyTweet) October 1, 2017Lewis has a cat door, but it seems hard to use. Maybe that's why he's always outside?
Perhaps not... pic.twitter.com/90pwpWB6As

— SнеRlock 🕵🏻 (@SherlockyTweet) September 18, 2017But there's always a cozy place to come back to, when he's ready to bite some feet:

— SнеRlock 🕵🏻 (@SherlockyTweet) July 13, 2017Don't wander too far, Lewis. They need you at home.
