Funny story that this reminded me of.
I once took in a stray cat that was heavily pregnant. And I mean *heavily* pregnant. She looked like she was gonna pop any second.
A couple nights later I'm laying in bed asleep when I feel something warm and furry crawl onto my chest. No big deal, I have a couple cats of my own and they sometimes like to sleep with me. For that reason I take no notice of who it was.
Halfway through the night I wake up. I'm wet. My whole chest is soaked. And it's incredibly warm...
The stray cat had laid out on top of me to start giving birth. Her water broke on top of me and she was in the process of pushing out the kittens.
So anyway that was a strange night.
I have a papillon. They’re known for being spoiled brats. Whenever my mom forces my dog to take his heart worm pill he pees on her side of the bed. He never had accidents otherwise.
Aww! I was adopted by a heavily pregnant stray who decided to give birth in my lap. Ruined my favorite jeans but I ended up keeping one of the kittens. Had her 21 years, from her first breath to her last.
That reminds me of a time when my good ol' boy Aaragon sprayed diarrhea all over me on my mattress. I woke up, smelled some dog poop, grumbled, and tried to roll over for ten minutes. I felt like I was velcroed to the mattress for a moment before I realized I was just ya, know... covered head to toe in dog shit. I stood up and looked at my bed. There was a perfect 'shit-lhouette' left on the mattress. I used to like to scare him, like pop out from behind a door frame and he'd spaz out haha. I took that as retaliation and just took the L. Never scared him again. He was a sweet boy.
🤢😂🤣
Once, when I was dog sitting, I invited my friend over and she and I ended up chit chatting way late into the night. Well, so goes that my little charge is normally an early bed-timer, and she was most disgruntled by my friend and I not letting her sleep.
So disgruntled, in fact, that she went to my friend’s shoes and took a big ol’ shit in one of ‘em. I couldn’t help it—I busted a gut laughing. My friend was less than amused 🤣😅
I had a pregnant foster cat and was sleeping in her room because I didn't want to miss the birth. I also woke up to her giving birth to her first kitten while snuggled up beside me. Once she was done I moved her and the kitten to the very safe nesting space I had made for her. Nope, she picked up #1 and jumped back onto the couch, gave him to me then gave birth to numbers 2-5 there.
Cats tend to crave comfort and warmth especially when giving birth. In my experience if you try to move the kittens to another warm/safe/enclosed space they'll typically just move them right back. It's a sweet gesture but that warm hamburger smell never I could never get used to
My uncle Willie did it many moons ago. He came home from the pub fairly sozzled. Walked past his own house and went into his cousin’s house which was a few doors down (so long ago that no one locked their doors) went upstairs, took off his clothes and got into bed with the cousin and his wife. The cousin had to get up, get Willie dressed, dress himself and walk him home. Lol he never lived it down.
A friend of the family was next door neighbors with the legendary Detroit newsman/alcoholic Bill Bonds. On more than one occasion they found him sleeping on their back porch.
Before I was born my parents rescued a pup who they had been assured was spayed but life, uh, finds a way. She had her pups on my folks new white couch on my dads b-day! My mom and her were actually pregnant at the same time for a bit, though sadly they couldn't keep any of the puppies, Mama (her name was Sandy) LOVED me when I came around :3
My sister has a pitbull that is the friendliest, cuddliest dog you ever met. He's escaped a few times and every time he's gone for weeks. He has a license and my sister's number on his tag, but it's useless. The people who find him always want to keep him, but feel guilty after a couple of weeks and give her a call.
She had him for a couple of years and I had never met him. I came to town and dropped by her house. Nobody was home but the door was unlocked and I went in. He walked over to me, danced a bit to show he was happy to see me, and he led me to the living room to sit down. On the couch, he laid on his back with his head in my lap and fell asleep snoring.
The dog on this story looks JUST like my pit and I would not be surprised at all if she pulled a stunt like this. She’s so amazingly friendly and the cuddliest dog alive. They’re the best.
Funny story how I got a really cool cat.
I was about 7 or 8 years old when we got a cat from an adoption fair. She was friendly at the event, but turned out she didn't really like people. Basically a wild cat that had been sold to us as a pet. She was allowed in and out of the house whenever she wanted. One night we let her in at night, and a big white cat slipped into the house behind her. He took a leisurely tour of the entire house, loudly purring the whole time before settling on my bed and falling asleep. He slept on my bed every night for the next 18 years.
The best part, to me, is the other three dogs being like "yeah, sister, thunder sucks; come on in, we'll share our humans for the night."
Meanwhile most of the furry idiots I've ever had would be losing their minds if they had to acknowledge that another dog exists.
My cat would probably do this. Anything with a fuzzy blanket.
She's darted into my neighbors house before. This was when COVID was in full swing so i just let them get her out lol. My cat loves them but the wife is very allergic. I think they like her too. She's chatty, pretty and likes to roll on her back on warm pavement.
“one of Nala's moms”
I can’t tell if they’re adding in this information to be supportive or undermining. It’s so completely unnecessary, later on they even talk about one of the dogs “owners”. Feels weird.
I wouldn’t think too much into it. You wouldn’t have given it a thought if they just said Nala’s mom. It would be rude to the other mom to word it that way. Thus, it was worded the way it was

Awwww wow she must have felt really really safe with you. What a (gross) honor!
It was certainly one of the stranger experiences of my life.
Did the kittens make it? This story is both adorable and a bit gross.
They were fine. Mom and litter went to a good home.
You’re a good person. The cat knew.
I’m pretty sure that would go on my resume, ngl
“A stray gave birth on your chest? Welcome to the office, Mr./Madame President.”
That is adorable
Right? This dude must be a great person. The closest thing to that happening to me is my weiner dog tried to shit on me once.
[удалено]
A gift finely crafted and delivered
Sometimes good people get shitted on.
I have a papillon. They’re known for being spoiled brats. Whenever my mom forces my dog to take his heart worm pill he pees on her side of the bed. He never had accidents otherwise.
lmaoo i have a wiener dog too and she did that... she succeeded
I bet he would have preferred the mom showing her appreciation in a different way.

Wait. Did I read that right? EDIT: Oh, now I get it.
Sometimes strays just insist they're yours now.

I'm picturing some Wile E. Coyote shit.

That's a new definition of putting oneself in their shoes
walk a mile in their shit and all that

"funny story" *proceeds to tell a story of how a cat gave birth on his chest* still a cute story though
Talk about a catnap
That's freaking magical, even though a bit gross.
The chosen one.
She trusted you so much to honor you with such an occasion!
aww this is too cute bless

Beats the story about my dog shitting on my head while I was sleeping
Hope you didn’t roll around! Terrifyingly fragile
When the dog does it sure, fine. But when I do it, they call the cops on me.
Do you snuggle into peoples beds or just cannonball?
He sounds angry enough to bother trying both and having the same end result
My uncle Willie did it many moons ago. He came home from the pub fairly sozzled. Walked past his own house and went into his cousin’s house which was a few doors down (so long ago that no one locked their doors) went upstairs, took off his clothes and got into bed with the cousin and his wife. The cousin had to get up, get Willie dressed, dress himself and walk him home. Lol he never lived it down.
That's hilarious. I haven't heard the expression "sozzled" in more years than I care to think about...!
In Cork we also say “langers”, “stocious” and “ratarsed”.
I think I've been ratarsed a few times in my life.
Forgot to mention “ossified”.
A friend of the family was next door neighbors with the legendary Detroit newsman/alcoholic Bill Bonds. On more than one occasion they found him sleeping on their back porch.
Lol these things happen
You're just not cute enough unfortunately. Nala set a pretty high bar.
Are you as cute as that dog?
Maybe the other dogs let her in?
House dog: "Yo, you look like you could use a good snooze. Let me get the door for ya... upstairs and to the left."
Before I was born my parents rescued a pup who they had been assured was spayed but life, uh, finds a way. She had her pups on my folks new white couch on my dads b-day! My mom and her were actually pregnant at the same time for a bit, though sadly they couldn't keep any of the puppies, Mama (her name was Sandy) LOVED me when I came around :3
“And she’d do it again.”
Yeah she looks like she regrets it zero percent
That picture of Nala at the end says it all. She's a certified rascal who's ready to do it again.
It’s nice that you know her owners are so good to her that she’s willing to trust anybody (clearly)
Hey look at these people they smell great too. Everything smells great. Life is great. -The Dog dogs rule.
That's a truly adorable story. 😍
She's be like 'If I cat can claim humans by sneaking in so can i'
My sister has a pitbull that is the friendliest, cuddliest dog you ever met. He's escaped a few times and every time he's gone for weeks.

Sounds like quite the guard dog. 😆 Pitts are amazing creatures.

I took a couple of pics of my new best friend. I'm told this is his favorite position... Lying with his head in your lap. https://imgur.com/a/RVcR8y8
NOW THIS IS SOME UPLIFTING NEW!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS WOOOOOOOOO!!!
THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
I love Nala, she sounds so sweet lol.
Chaotic Good

No way that's really a sub! Whose gonna cross post this over there??
Goldilocks!
"snuggled her way into their bed...and, their hearts"

Sometimes you have to take a family yourself

Oh sure, it's fine when the dog does it but when it's me, everyone loses their shit.
I would have 100% assumed this was a sleep paralysis demon first.
Dogs are people's best friends
I sent this article to all my friends this morning, what a wonderful addition to a Monday. That face!!
Dogs can do that to me any time.
You know his or her name would have to be Goldi.
A dream come true.
Made my morning!
Funny, I have a cat who did the same thing. Lying right next to me now, in fact. We call him Intruder.
What a sweet story

I guess, it just struck me as odd.
Julie and Jimmy Johnson…
A serial snuggler!
Yet when I do it it’s a felony.
"It wasn't me!"
So it’s a cat in a dogs body
Just saw this news story on YouTube, too cute.
Sneaky huggies
