We've had an eventful morning, although it started Wednesday evening.

I heard a cat meowing and looking down in the yard and between all the vines and weeds was a cat. Another cat was sitting on the wall, so I assumed the cat in the yard was chased. After a while the meowing stopped, so I figured the cat had climbed out.

Once or twice a year a cat ends up in our yard, since it's so overgrown (those vines have thorns) we can't just go in there and get the cat. But they always manage to climb out (three sides of the yard are building and one is a 3 meter high wall).

Last night I heard meowing again, didn't see a cat, but I went down and rattled with a bowl of dry food, no cat. I left the yard door open and the food in the door opening. This morning the food was gone and I heard a meowing at the back of the house. I closed the door and took the young cat to the store with me. It was a sweetheart, very cuddly and very hungry.

Since we can't really access our yard we aren't able to get a ladder and put the cat on the wall again. So we asked the offices next door if we could let the cat out in their yard; their flat roof is partially build against the wall and there's a fire escape stairs. The gave us permission, but when we let the cat out she immediately wanted to go down the wall again in our yard. One employee remembered seeing a note of a missing cat somewhere nearby, so she went out to take a picture.

Meanwhile my mother had found the cat, Vodka, on a site of an organization for missing pets, they don't list phone numbers so you have to contact them. They would call the owner. Shortly after the lady came back and it was Vodka on the note, and game me the name and number of the owner. When I called upstairs to let my mother know the phone number Vodkas owner came in. Vodka lives around the corner, I suspect in one of the two student homes above a restaurant (with that name she was either from a café or restaurant or students). So luckily we didn't have to go to the vet to see if she had a chip.

I've put the owners phone number in my phone, it wouldn't surprise me if Vodka pays us another visit. Though he should give her a collar with a name tag or airtag. She had been missing for 8 days, though she must have been fed, since she wasn't very thin.
