Founder Stevie was over the moon with joy that the "My House, Not My Cat" group reached over 30k members. According to her, the last time Bored Panda published an article about the page, there were around 20k members. A 50 percent increase is nothing to laugh at—it's wonderful news.
Stevie said that every time that she logs into Facebook (that's around once an hour), there are always one or two posts waiting for her to moderate. "With 7 admins and mods that’s quite a lot," she said. Since Bored Panda’s last article about the Facebook group in July, the number of moderators and administrators has increased from 3 to 7 as the community has grown.
The founder also revealed to Bored Panda that the community has become more close-knit during the lockdown. "People love the group. There’s no way we could get rid of it. It’s amazing how many people get cat visitors."

Stevie shared some of the group's plans for 2021, too. She said that they'll keep "moving along" like they have been. But before we ring in the New Year, she says there's something pleasant waiting for all the members of the group: "We have a surprise for Christmas—a 'gift' from the admins and a special thread just for the members. We just hope more people get mystery cats!"
Finally, the founder said that all posts either meet the criteria set out on the group page or they don't. There's rarely a gray area. "If they don’t, it’s usually because of rule 5 (has to be your experience, your house and not your cat) or rule 2 (no viral content, fundraising, etc.)."

#9 This Is My Patio And My Budgie, But Not My Cat
Stevie previously told Bored Panda that she founded the group after seeing meme after meme about cats in other people’s homes popping up all over the net. She thought they were brilliant. After a bit of research, she saw that nobody had created a group for cats that let themselves in through open windows and doggie doors, so she took charge and made one.
What’s more, Stevie recently posted that the number of submissions has increased to the point that they’ll have to be much more selective on what gets featured. So we can expect even higher-quality posts in the future.
Earlier, Stevie said that a lot of people have the misconception that strange cats won’t ever wander into their homes. But then life surprises them and there you go—they’ve got a feline to take a photo of and post to the ‘My House, Not My Cat’ Facebook page.
