Texas - TikTok user Jay'Myra couldn't believe her eyes when she saw an unexpected new cat roommate waiting for her in her new apartment.

Jay'Myra pays $2,000 a month for her apartment – not exactly cheap, but the place seemed perfect.

After a short time, however, she noticed a strange noise that seemed to be coming from the ceiling.

Although she doubted that she would find anything there, Jay'Myra looked into the ventilation shaft and almost went into shock.

Cats Cat demands owners to keep rescued kitten in the cutest way possible

The shadowy figure staring at her actually turned out to be a kitten!

"2,000 a month & comes with a new pet," the young woman jokingly wrote on her TikTok account @myraj2019.

When she tried to get the shy cat out, however, it resisted with all its might.

Jay'Myra had to come up with something to win the kitty's trust.

Jay'Myra, who had named the black cat Ventavion in the meantime, was later relieved to discover that the four-legged friend was not actually stuck in the ventilation shaft... just stubborn!

The kitten was later seen on the roof of the house, from where it had apparently entered the shaft through a small hole. The TikToker is seen feeding the cat in and out of the vent in subsequent videos.

While the renter posted that she was moving out of the apartment for presumably non-cat-related reasons, Ventavion could be seen lurking for a final goodbye.

Commenters think Jay'Myra should take the kitten with her and formally adopt it – what do you think?
