This Man Randomly Bumped Into His Own Cat, And His Pet’s Reaction Became An Internet Sensation

Cats are well-known for coming and going as they please and on occasion that means that felines are often seen exploring their own neighborhoods Darren Sherlock's cat Lewis certainly likes to go strolling away from home. In fact, it's part of his everyday routine Then Lewis and his owner unexpectedly crossed paths one Wednesday and the cat's reaction was legendary On the morning of April 4th 2018 Sherlock who works as an airline's commercial manager was driving to work in the British city of Brighton Then however, he spotted a familiar furry face It was Lewis, of course and Sherlock may have been very pleased to see the cat After all Lewis had gone missing that morning or at least he deviated from his usual routine Sherlock would later explain to media that since Lewis is a cat whose life revolves around food He'll typically annoy us until we wake him up and feed him after the animals appetite has been sated However, he'll go out for the day on that particular occasion though Sherlock said that instead of being forced to wake by Lewis he and his partner discovered that their pet had seemingly vanished He said when we woke up he wasn't there and he was nowhere to be found The cat owner added so we both went to work thinking he'd come back soon Sherlock also explained however that on his way to work that morning. He'd kept an eye out for Lewis He continued I even went past this place where I know Lewis hangs out sometimes And as it happens Sherlock's gamble paid off Lewis was right at the spot where his owner had expected him to be Lewis's human parents subsequently wound down the window and called to him Then on hearing his name Lewis turned around and perhaps to his surprise saw Sherlock in the car After Sherlock had opened up his car door to welcome his feline However, he took a snap of the cat and the resulting image was hilarious in the image Lewis is seen with his front paws resting on the bottom of the doorframe What really makes the photo however is the cat's expression which can only be described as an elated grin Still after getting that shot Sherlock was left with quite the conundrum Why well as Sherlock would later tell media Lewis jumped in the car And then I didn't know whether to push him out of the car because I needed to go to work The cat owner eventually made a sacrifice on behalf of his beloved pet though Yes, Sherlock decided to chauffeur the feline home after all then once at home. He fed Lewis's breakfast and headed back to work Sherlock also sent the photo of Lewis to his partner Sam to confirm that their pet was safe and well in time though He decided that Lewis's momentary expression also had to be shared with the wider world So Sherlock posted the photo of Lewis on Twitter and sure enough the cat and his grin went viral In fact, the snap would be retweeted over 90,000 times It's also received three hundred fifteen thousand likes from users of the social media site However Sherlock certainly didn't predict that the image would go as far and as wide as it did What's more Sherlock initially had no idea of his pets online popularity when I woke up the next morning He later recalled my partner nudged me and said the post was on 50,000 retweets He also told the site I couldn't really get my head around the reaction of Twitter It appeared however that Lewis's hilarious expression prompted many people into making observations of their own One Twitter user commented for instance that cat's goofy eyes combined with his cool eating grin make the picture perfectly hilarious meanwhile another wrote just because he has four legs doesn't mean he doesn't have his own thing going on and Judging by what his owner has revealed. That's certainly true of Lewis Indeed Sherlock has revealed to media that his cat's adventures have practically made the feline a household name in the area Furthermore the Brighton man invariably receives numerous calls from other neighbors regarding Lewis's whereabouts Once for example the intrepid animal made it onto somebody else's balcony and Sherlock said to the media I once got a call from the local thrift store on the high street to say that Lewis was in the shop saying hello to All the customers I had to go and collect him and bring him home when the cat's owner arrived at the store However, Lewis came trolling over between the closed rails and proceeded to trail Sherlock all the way home But despite Lewis definitely being feline his owner has said that his beloved pet behaves more like a dog in a lot of ways In keeping with his canine tendencies Lewis welcomed Sherlock into the house. The cat also likes to play games of fetch Another of Lewis's quirks is his obsession with food In fact, his owners have to keep anything edible squirreled way out of sight of the pesky cat He eats almost anything so we can't leave anything out on the side Sherlock explained to unilad and Apparently even bread isn't off the menu as the intrepid feline will have a loaf on the floor and start munching it In fact Lewis is such a foodie that Sherlock has had personalized collar made for him emblazoned with the message Please don't feed me. I'm very greedy, but nice The animals appetite has also become part and parcel of his local reputation one time according to Sherlock a passerby recognized him and said this is the greediest cat in the world and Since Lewis has risen to internet stardom Another individual is tweeted at Sherlock to relate their own real-life encounter with the animal in question. Oh my god It's the Lewis on Twitter. He got in my car with me last week. They posted alongside a snap of Lewis in said vehicle Furthermore and much to the delight of Lewis's fanbase Sherlock has posted regular updates on the animals adventures Including photos and videos on Instagram and Twitter one Instagram user was even prompted to say in response That's one of the most adorable cats I've ever seen. He's awesome. I'm a bit jealous now It seems then that Lewis is becoming something of a social media celebrity Time will only tell though whether this newfound fame will go to the cat's head or whether he'll still be the same greedy Adventurous kitty that Sherlock knows and loves.
