Hey all,

We live in Linden Tawa and this is not our cat. This cat comes through our cat door regularly at night to get food from our cats food bowl. This evening I was in my room and came across this guy under my bed. After a bit of coaxing with food I got him out and he loves cuddles and pats but had to put him in the cage to get a picture😥

We are unsure if this is a stray or someone's cat as he is very well feed.

We've currently got someone coming around to check if he has a microchip so hopefully that will yield some results.

If this is your cat or know who's cat this might be please PM me.

Thanks
