Look what I found

Today I went Upstairs to my rooftop terrace and I found a little visitor. I am pretty sure it is my neighbors new cat. He must have climbed from her upstairs window, but didn't have the guts to jump back down. I watched him try a few times, the big fraidy cat.

It took me about 20 minutes to catch him (the playing with string and a can of tuna alway works in the end). I have never seen him outside before so I wasn't sure if he is an indoor cat only, so he is currently in my downstairs bedroom.

I was waiting and waiting for the neighbors to come home, its now 11pm so I think this cat is spending the night. Its really strange though, he is SO timid, almost like he has never been handled. I don't want to spook him too much, so I am leaving him alone for the time being, but when I go to bed i think he has to go back into the carrier. Or else it will be a sleepless night with the dogs!

That's so nice of you to catch him and to keep him safe till his parents get back!

He sure is a cutie!!! Hope they come home soon...he'd look good with your others.

Wow! And they are not at home YET? Hunker down, you have a overnight guest! Yawn..... (Isn't he pretty!)

I hope,that he belongs,to those people,and has not been dumped there by Bad Guardians.
That would make your guest a New Cat ,I hope!

They finally came home around midnight, and it took me about twenty minutes to catch him. LOL

I am glad I didn't just chuck him outside which was my first impulse, because he is an indoor only kitty, and I would feel so guilty if he ran off.
