Last night I got back home and surprise surprise: there is a lost cat (brown with black stripes) outside my apartment door. How it got there past the secured door downstairs is beyond me. Anyway, as I approach it, it runs past me down to a neighbour’s door and tries to get in. I thought, probably it's the neighbours cat and knock on the door. The lady comes out and says that it's not hers and even she noticed it when she got home.

Ummm... a lost cat out in the cold. I decided to let it go anyway but now it won't leave me! Following me around everywhere and sticking very close. No matter how much I push it away, it just won't go! Got me scratching my head for a while, as I wondered – what to do? In the end decided to keep it for the night, so I let it in. First time got an animal inside the house (my dogs back in Bangladesh are not allowed to get inside the house – they are guard dogs).

First things first: food and water. Cats love fish. Don’t they? Tuna in veggie oil should do just about fine. Opened up a can of tuna in a small dish and left it on the kitchen floor. It was pretty hungry, finished off half before I could even fetch some water. Now I got another problem: What goes in must comes out – cat poo. No clue if this cat is toilet trained and even if it is, I don’t have any cat litter. I have got myself in trouble, haven’t I?
