When you live in a small town where everyone knows each other, it's very common to see outdoor cats. There are cats that have a home and a family, but are allowed to roam around like the own the place. And own the place they do indeed! If anyone has a key to the town, it's these kinds of cat.

Take Mischief, for instance—these sweet tuxedo kitty gets to roam around his small town and has become a local celebrity. The little cat does whatever he wants and goes wherever he wants, and everyone lets him! They not only allow him to do and go wherever he wants, but they also keep tabs on him. There is an entire Facebook group dedicated to Mischief where locals post their stories with him and photos of where he has been spotted throughout the day. Plus, a map showing everyone he has visited—and this guy is covering miles of town in one day !

You're probably wondering how in tarnation is he wandering around so far? Well, you see photos of him in trucks and cars constantly because he would just show up and hop in, so that has to be part of his transportation tactic. He's spotted in schools, churches, shops, many people's homes, and he even has broken into a naval base multiple times! Pretty amazing what a friendly feline can get away with it. We could all learn a thing or two from Mischief!
