Life throws hilarious curve balls.

One minute you have just adopted a rescue cat, and the next minute, you have agreed to A Current Affair leaving a motion sensor triggered camera outside your bedroom and bathroom for 48 hours.

How it all began

Let me take you back to where this started. I am a member of a local community Facebook page: To be precise, the Ferny Hills, Arana Hills, Everton Hills Ridgy-Didge Community Page.

Unlike many community pages, this one is very strictly moderated, and slanging matches and complaints about cold coffee and slow service disappear faster than they can be uploaded.

Last September, an intriguing post appeared in amongst the requests for cardboard moving boxes and if anyone had spotted toilet paper at any of the shops.

A lovely lady named Kay posted a photo of a mound of kids’ toys, dog toys, and clothing brought to her by a tiny ginger cat.

She didn’t own the cat, and every day this little ginger tom would jump over her 6-foot-high fences and bring her gifts that he had stolen from surrounding houses.

Some days he would bring none. Other days he would bring four things. But each day he came back to visit Kay and spend time snoozing on her lounge.

Kay didn’t know what to do with all these gifts, so she decided to post a photo of the haul to try and match gifts with the original owners.
