A woman was left baffled after hearing a weird noise coming from inside the walls of her house. She decided to investigate and was shocked by what she found hiding inside
What would you do if you were home alone and suddenly heard a weird and unusual noise emanating from your walls and ceiling? This was the reality for one woman who began documenting her quest to uncover the source of the strange sounds within her home’s walls on 16 August.
TikTok user @_martymcflyjr shared her intriguing experience of discovering something concealed within her house’s walls on the social media platform. The first image in her post showed a vent in the ceiling, with her cat sitting below looking up at the vent, also intrigued by the mysterious meowing sounds.
“Hearing random meowing coming from the ceiling,” the caption read on the first photo, before she shared the snap had been followed by a sudden crash which caused the meowing to move to inside the nearby wall.
The meows grew louder behind her walls. Unable to resist her curiosity, she began to dismantle the wall to identify the source of the noise, even using a French fry as bait to coax out whatever was hidden.
Upon opening the wall, she quickly discovered the origin of the noise when a furry head peeked out from the newly created hole. Not one, but two kittens emerged as the “culprits”, having somehow found their way not only into the house, but also into its walls.
With no mother cat in sight, the woman promptly scooped up the kittens and began caring for them, providing food and water. A subsequent video shows the kittens playfully interacting, oblivious to the chaos they had caused.
The woman began a search for the kittens’ mother, suspecting she might have been out hunting when her babies fell into the wall. In a comment on a follow-up video, she revealed they did find the mother cat, but she “does not want to be caught”.
TikTok users flooded the comments section of the post, with many suggesting the woman had been chosen by the ‘cat distribution system’, a term used when people stumble upon stray cats that soon become their pets.
“Cat distribution system must be malfunctioning. It’s supposed to deposit cats outside your front door, not inside the walls. Probably just a simple glitch. I’ll contact IT and it should be patched within 2-3 business days,” one viewer jokingly said.
“I didn’t realise the cat distribution system has in house methods omg,” another person wrote.
Others went on to share their similar experiences, with one viewer writing: “I heard meowing coming from my attic… tore it open and found two… minutes later heard some in the wall, two others had fallen in between the wall of my outside brick and drywall… I had to gut it to get them out.”
When questioned if she planned to keep the kittens, she sadly responded: “I don’t think I can.”
However, she continued to share adorable updates of the kittens on her account as she contemplated what to do next.
