Survival instructors advise that you stay in one place if you are lost in the wild. It makes the search and rescue operation easier, and the chances you are going to be found increase. We believe that this cat somehow managed to overhear this information and perfectly applied it to its real life situation.
According to Breean, during their first meeting, the cat looked overly-friendly (let’s not mention the fact that he tried to attack the dog the whole way home) and well-fed. That’s why she decided that he could be lost. She didn’t want to take him to a shelter or a vet because he didn’t need any help and she hoped that this would allow his owner to find him faster. So she took several photos of him, posted them on Facebook, and left him outside hoping he’d leave.
