Ghost Cat!

I swear this is not a "woo woo" post! I've actually had this little visitor on my porch several times, and in my backyard. He has a collar and tag so when he first showed up, I called the number on the tag to see if someone has lost this cat... turned out to "belong" to a neighbor across the street, however, they had only just adopted it, as it followed them home one night.....

At the same time, someone on our Neighborhood website posted they were looking for a lost tuxedo cat, and I thought, well, it might be this cat. So I messaged the person and told them we had a similar cat found in our neighborhood and I would try to get a photo of him the next time he showed up.

Which was the other night. So I went into the house to get my camera and darn it, if that cat didn't waltz right in after me. I picked him up and put him back on the porch, retrieved my camera, took the above photo, and as I'm taking my camera back into the house, this cat tried to follow me in. I caught him, at the doorway and nudged him back, gently, with my foot onto the porch and shut the door.

Coming out of my office, I see this cat sitting in the middle of the living room! I have no clue how he got in, I'm positive I shut the door. I'm positive he didn't sneak past me. I saw his head as I shut the door. I say (to the cat) "How the hell did you get in here?" and he quickly dashes under my sofa.

I look under the sofa, so I can grab him, but he's disappeared. Not there. In fact, I don't see him anywhere -- didn't see him run out from the under the sofa --- am I losing my mind??  I walk around house and finally find him in my office, with Ripley (our cat) and the two cats are just sitting quietly staring at each other.  Which is also very weird.  Not like Ripley at all, to act this way....

Well, I scooped up the black cat and took him back outside.  I tell you, a few nights ago, he was in my back yard which is totally fenced in with 6 foot privacy fence and I couldn't figure out how he got back there, but I picked him up (he's very friendly) and took him into the front yard, set him down, and before I turned around, I saw him go into the neighbor's yard and he simply vanished between the fence and their house.... at the time, I looked for him, I mean where did he go so fast? Did he jump the neighbor's 6 foot fence into their backyard? It was the only conclusion I could come up with, and I thought man, that cat can jump and he's fast.  Now I wonder...

This cat is either a ghost cat who can walk through walls and fences and doors or he has magical powers. He certainly had Ripley hypnotized.

Also, he doesn't seem to have a care in the world, Kona barks her head off at him when he comes into our yard, and the cat just walks right by her. Fearless, this cat. And very strange....  though, I must admit, he is a handsome devil....

PS: He wasn't the "lost" cat in the ad.
