‘He ran right over to me and laid in my lap’: Cat pawrent of five considers stealing someone else’s cat who keeps conveniently escaping and finding their way to his wholesome house

A local cat-lover is facing a purrplexing moral dilemma after a familiar feline pawed his way back into their life… literally. This same kitty had wandered into their woods last year and was returned home via animal control. But now he’s back, sauntering past trail cams set up for wildlife and making himself comfortable by plopping into a stranger’s lap like he owned the place.

When his hooman was contacted via the number on his collar, the cat bolted the moment the owner showed up. The man claimed the cat is an indoor-outdoor type who often “forgets his way home” and casually mentioned he usually resurfaces during rainstorms. Despite the many pawsible dangers like bears, coyotes, and bobcats, he brushed it off as no big deal. 

Apparently, the cat has an AirTag, which left the good Samaricat puzzled. How could he be “missing” if he’s tracked? After the owner left, the kitty crept back, hungry and skittish, ready to chow down. With five cats already and room for more, this concerned rescuer is left wondering: would giving this whiskered wanderer a safer life make them the meownster?
