Orange Cat Stumbles Upon ‘Three Baldies' After Hopping a Fence, and His Face Is Priceless

Outdoor cats love to go places. It's part of the problem with outdoor cats: you never really have any idea where they're going or what they're getting into. They might look entirely safe on a little GPS, even, but it's still risky.

Case in point: this orange cat. He hopped a fence into a neighbor's yard and was transported to an alternate dimension where none of the cats have any hair! He's seen a lot of stuff while wandering through people's yards, but he's never seen three baldies at the same time:

He definitely saw Three Strange Things that day, and their names are Boon, Star, and Hank. They're 3 Sphynx cat brothers who get to have supervised outside time with their mom, although it's unclear whether she makes them wear sunscreen or not.

They have a beautiful yard. It's green, full of plants. I bet a lot of birds find their way in, which is awesome for the cats! However, that garden wall apparently makes a perfect perch for nosy neighbor cats, too. He isn't sure why none of the cats over the magical wall have any clothes on, but that's not really his business.

The boys probably wish the nosy neighbor cat would mind his business, but they don't let anything get them down. They love to run around their house and outside, and they love car rides, even though the sun passes right through their ears:

I think their mom is right: these are aliens in transport. The orange cat is going to go and warn all of his friends, but no one will ever believe him!

Should You Let Your Cat Interact With Outdoor Cats?

A lot of times, outdoor cats will wander to places where cats live. You probably have things they find intriguing, and if you let them outside occasionally, they can smell them. Just because they're there, though, doesn't mean they should be allowed to interact.

Generally, it's best not to let your indoor cat interact with an outdoor cat, especially one you don't know. While the cat might be friendly or even look like they want to play, they could be carrying:

  • Diseases.
  • Illnesses.
  • Toxins on their fur that could be bad for your cat to lick off.
  • Fleas or ticks.

Of course, you'll have to use your best judgment: if you know the cat and have spoken to their caretaker, know they have their shots, etc., you might feel comfortable with allowing them to interact. It's up to you! As for these three baldies, though, they're not super into it...
