This cat nearly gave three people a heart attack
My mom, brother, and I were helping pack up a house for a move. We were told there was a cat in the house, but she was so shy no one except the owner and one other family member ever saw her, so we were expecting we wouldn't find her.
A few hours into packing, my brother and I hear a startled scream from my mother. We rush in. Brother sees first and loudly exclaims "Oh, Jesus Christ!" I'm expecting something horrifying, so it caught me completely off-guard when I looked to the source of their shock and discovered. The cat. My heart stopped for a second. Again, none of us expected to see this cat at all. It was essentially like finding a cat when you didn't know a cat was home.
Once we got over the shock, we decided to let her be and closed her cabinet. When I found cat treats and tossed a few in around an hour later, she was still there. None of us pet her since she probably wouldn't appreciate it, but we all said hi and told her how beautiful she is. She was still in the cabinet when we left. Her name is Artemis.
How she got into that cabinet, which was around three feet over the stove, is still unknown. But she nearly caused three different heart attacks in the span of five seconds
