A young woman from London ended up having an impromptu girls’ night with a sneaky intruder who made her way into her home as she opened the door to collect a food delivery, and internet users can’t cope with it.
In a viral TikTok video shared in March under the username @indipine, 26-year-old Indy explains that a random cat wandered into her home as she opened the door to the delivery driver, and immediately made herself at home.
“I don’t have a cat… who is this? I ordered food and she just came in with the food. I don’t remember ordering her,” she writes in the clip.
Indy told Newsweek that as she stepped outside to collect her order, the tabby cat followed her back through her garden gate, sniffing around the area before deciding to venture inside.
“She explored all round the kitchen and living room and then she made herself comfortable on the sofa. I was so excited to have a cat friend for the evening, so I just kind of let her make herself at home,” she said.
“After a bit, I sensed she was probably comfortable with me coming to sit with her so we watched Step Up 2 together—I enjoyed it but she slept through most of it.”
After the movie, Indy tried to teach the kitty how to play Infinity Nikki, though she was mostly focused on having a snooze, but then, when she woke up, she decided to cuddle on her lap.
“I was in shock because I’ve never had any cat be so affectionate towards me, especially one that had just randomly showed up in my house an hour earlier,” she said.
As she slept, the poster searched the internet for missing cat ads in case she was lost, since she was a very clean cat with a collar, but she couldn’t find anything concerning her, so she concluded that “she was probably just on a side quest.”
Then around 11 p.m. she left, with the help of Indy to climb the tall wall she came from.
For Indy this experience wasn’t only a heartwarming encounter, it gave her the confidence to step outside by herself in the darkness again after a man had broken into her home the previous week, leaving her in fear.
“On the night the cat showed up, it was actually my first evening I was alone after the break in and I was a bit on edge. But when the cat showed up, I ended up leaving the back door open most of the evening, so she could leave whenever she wanted, even though the whole week prior I’d been scared of it even being unlocked,” she said.
“I was so distracted by the cat that I didn’t even think about being scared or being worried the door wasn’t locked. And when I had to go help her get over the wall outside, I didn’t feel any unease going into the garden when it was dark because the whole situation was just so funny, it really helped me get over the fear!
“So I was thankful that the cat distribution system distributed me a cat on a short term loan because I think I really needed it! I’ve moved now so I didn’t get to see her again but those few hours with a random cat helped me a surprising amount!”
While for Indy the feline healed her on an emotional level, cats are also known to heal people on a physical level too. According to Virginia Beach Veterinary Hospital, the human body may benefit from the frequency of a cat’s purr.
The hospital says that these vibrations can lower blood pressure, lessen stress, and even promote healing.

The video quickly went viral on social media and it has so far received over 668,900 views and 163,300 likes on the platform.
One user, Hades, commented: “She has a collar, you are now part of the approved ‘2nd home’ group. Soon she will have her own toys and snacks.”
Teddy said: “I heard about this. It’s the super rare second home distribution system. You’re so lucky.”
Donttruststeve added: “You are now co-parenting a cat. I used to have neighbors cats that would randomly show up in my house.”
