Most cats dislike being left alone for too long, and mine are no exception. They always let me know how they feel about my absence with dramatic meows and a bit of attitude when I get back.
Cats crave attention and stimulation, and when left to their own devices, they often come up with clever – and sometimes mischievous – ways to entertain themselves.
Louis, a Savannah cat, is no different. Whenever his owner, Darren, leaves the house, Louis takes matters into his own paws, venturing out into the great outdoors.
What Darren didn’t realize, though, was just how adventurous Louis was – until one fateful day when their paths crossed in the most unexpected way.
It all happened one morning when Darren woke up and couldn’t find Louis. Assuming that Louis was outside and would return soon, Darren went off to work.
While Darren was driving to work, he spotted a familiar furry face a quarter mile from home, in the area where Louis liked to hang out. Of course, it was Louis! Still, he was surprised to see him there alone.
Darren knew that taking Louis home would make him late for work, but he couldn’t leave him there either. He opened the car door, and his beloved cat’s reaction was absolutely hilarious!
Louis seemed completely surprised to see his owner. I mean, just look at his facial expression in the picture below.
He was overjoyed to see Darren and immediately jumped into the car. Darren had no choice but to take his adventurous cat back home.
After bringing Louis home, Darren gave him breakfast and rushed off to work, so he wouldn’t be late.
That day, Darren couldn’t stop thinking about Louis and his crazy adventures. Therefore, he decided to share the pictures of their encounter on Twitter because he thought the cat’s reaction was hilarious.
To his surprise, the tweet became a sensation overnight, with over 50k retweets. The comments poured in, and some were quite legendary.

“He has a slightly guilty demeanor, bit like me aged 14 when my mum caught me sneaking off to McDonald’s to look at boys.”

“This cat’s like: I can explain…what had happened was…”
J Rochester added:
“Just because he has four legs doesn’t mean he doesn’t have his own thing going on.”
However, the cat’s adventures didn’t end there. Darren said he often receives messages from neighbors who have found Louis in their home. Darren said:
“I once got a call from the local charity shop on the high street to say Louis was in the shop saying hello to all the customers… I had to go and collect him and bring him home.”
In addition to being adventurous, Louis is also very playful and energetic. He loves to play fetch and follow his human everywhere, and he’s also a great food lover.
I hope to see more of Louis’s legendary adventures and that he returns home safely after each one!
