The group’s main purpose is to share images and videos taken when you come across a cat unexpectedly. “Cats are elusive and have lots of attitudes, so the scenarios you’ll find them in are always really interesting,” Ruby Black, the Catspotting Facebook group’s creator, said.
She founded the online group in 2014, and she claims they’ve had some “wild and crazy” locations throughout the years, such as cats in unbelievable situations or stunning scenery. “We encourage members to share a bit of the story with their spot, like the circumstances surrounding how, when, and where,” Black explained.

#1 The last thing I expected to spot in the sahara desert was a tuxedo kitty. The berber people in our tent told me he visits sometimes to chase away the scorpions
The more unique or fascinating a spot is, the more likely it is to be popular within the group. "Most of our viral posts have been either extraordinarily silly (cats with wild expressions or in really silly places or positions) or really, really unique (one of our most popular posts was a beautiful photo of a cat standing triumphantly on top of a huge sand dune in the middle of the desert)," Black explained.
#2 My chest, not my cat! Spotted this beautiful big guy in my dad’s garden a few days ago
#3 This stray mama has come around for a few weeks looking for food. She finally brought her baby around and I cannot handle the politeness
However, there is a significant difference between the Dogspotting and Catspotting groups. The first is open to the public, while the second is restricted to those who have been approved by the administrators. "Initially, it was set to public but there were lots of people who would try to spam and troll us with photos of dead cats and porn and other gross stuff," Black explained. "It was easier and [required] less manpower to go private than to keep trying to weed out the trolls all the time."
#4 My boyfriend and I rescued this little guy off the side of the side of the road. He’s so little! Poor little guy kept almost running out into the road crying for help
#5 Spotted in the building in front of my job!
#6 I was watching tv in my living room, only to realize I too, was being watched. Bc, canada.
After the community dealt with these pathetic individuals, it was able to once again enjoy what it likes best – cats. Black said the members of the group are all pretty much crazy cat people who just love everything about these majestic animals. "In our member requests, we ask people to answer the question 'What do you love about cats?' and 99% of answers are 'Everything!' and 'Toe beans!'"
#7 The smoke has cleared up a little bit here in the bay area, so I went out for a walk and spotted these two buddies enjoying the night air together.
#8 My brother spotted this lil baby in the middle of the road so he brought her over to give her a bath. He bought some kmr since she seems to only be around 2 weeks old and took her home
"I never really intended for the group to get this big," she said. "I created it years ago as just a thing for me and my friends because I kept seeing cute cats and didn't have [anywhere to share the encounters]. I was a member of Dogspotting but I didn't really like the way that they did their admin and some of their rules were a bit weird so I figured I would make my own version with cats and it just blew up immediately." Now, the founder is really proud of how many awesome people are in the group and it makes her really happy to see how it makes so many of them smile, too. "We've had heaps of members say that seeing fun spots brightens their day. I love the group a lot."
#9 Took this photo of the most cuddly lil ginger in the middle of a head shake while it wouldn’t stop purring, such a majestic, graceful beauty
#10 Ensuring no bookmarks are stolen on his watch
#11 My friend and I were out to get something and were walking to the station when she points at this adorable cat and gives me the “ugh fine” look and I gave this floof the best pets. She was letting me scratch her belly and under her chin
She was very elegant and very pretty. I think the owners lived nearby since someone was biking by with their daughter and said “look who’s sitting on the stairs, it’s pjuske (fluffy in Danish)”. 10/10 would pet and miss a train for again.
