That cat could wreck each and every one of them, and it knows it. And it's satisfied to simply know it, and to know that is *chooses* to not turn them all into red kibble.
 
My neighbor is a very attractive woman who does gymnastics on her terrace and has an orange cat called Eureka, one day that guy decided to enter my house, he refused a chicken leg, he did not let himself be petted and after thoroughly checking all the facilities, he decided to return to her.

"This is a routine inspection. Please stay where you are."

On a more serious note, perhaps leave a tiny bowl of water, outside, in case he decides to come back, but let him come to you & don't rush things.

Whenever we brought anything home from the library, our girl would always personally "inspect" & "mark" everything, & she loved those corners, lol. We used to joke that she was our furry little Port Authority, among other things :).

Sigh.

Forgot to ask - how did this "happen", LOL? Open door/window?
