Couple Buy Couch From Facebook Marketplace, Get a Big Surprise at 3 A.M.
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. About a year ago, a couple who purchased a couch on Facebook Marketplace quickly realized that the item came with more than they had bargained for. Derian, known on TikTok as @ recently shared a clip about the surprise he received after placing his newly purchased couch in his home. He set it up in the living room, noticing the perfect fit, but at 3 a.m., things took a turn. He looked between the back of the couch and the wall and saw an object moving. A furry animal began shimmying her way out. As it turned out, this Facebook Marketplace purchase came with a surprise that wasn't part of the buying agreement: a cat. He posted the throwback video to TikTok on July 27, showing the moment the feline crawled out from the couch. She hesitantly climbed from behind to the top, cautiously taking in her new surroundings. Derian wrote in the video that she was "so confused." She entered an entirely new home, with new smells, new people and new surroundings. Whatever home she had previously was no longer. Plus, she made it through the transport and travel while the couch was on a truck. He told Newsweek via TikTok that he had contacted the sellers, but they said they did not own a cat. This left him with a new cat. Screenshots from a July 27 TikTok video of a cat coming out of a couch someone bought off Facebook Marketplace.

They couldn't turn down an extra furry companion, even if they didn't plan on it. "Maddie is in excellent condition," Derian said. "She's a beautiful, loving blue Russian cat. She just loves to love. She also has a sister named Mia." Viewer Reactions The TikTok video amassed over 1.2 million views and 144,600 likes within two days of posting. Stunned at the unusualness of this video, people flooded the comment section, calling it a "win" for this family. "Listen, the cat's name is now Couch, and you bought him fair and square," joked a viewer. Another pointed out: "That cat's probably like, ' long was I sleeping? Where am I? WHO am I?!'" Looking on the bright side, someone else wrote: "Better a cat than bugs or mice. Cats are sweet creatures." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

Maddie, a Coonhound Who Awed Instagram by Balancing on Things, Dies at 14
Around 2011, burned out from his corporate photography job, Theron Humphrey hatched an idea to travel the country, interview people and take their portraits in all 50 states. He quit his job, crowdfunded $16,000 and prepared to hit the road for a year in his 1994 Toyota pickup truck. But there was one thing missing from his travel plans: a dog. Mr. Humphrey, who was 28 at the time, had never owned a dog, but growing up in the South, hounds were always around. He typed 'coonhound' into an online registry of adoptable pets, and an image of a caramel and white spotted dog with squinty eyes was the first result. 'I was like, 'Oh my gosh. She looks like a little deer.' I loved her speckles,' said Mr. Humphrey, who is now 42. 'That same day, I drove to the animal shelter, and I went to see her, and I left with a dog. I had no idea what I was doing.' In the years that followed, Mr. Humphrey crisscrossed the country and snapped tens of thousands of photos of Maddie, the coonhound he adopted that day. The pair traveled to 48 states, published two photography books and amassed more than 1.2 million Instagram followers along the way. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
