Gotcha! 

From Reddit's r/CatDistributionSystem, this person tells the story of how they got Walter, a stripped little kitten. He received a notification from his camera system that there was movement in the garage. He lives in California, so it could really be anything. Then he sees in the camera this little fluffy guy walking towards the dog's food bowl. He snuck outside, blocked off the open side of the garage and tried to find the kitten. He left a door open into the house in case the kitten wanted to run in there. Two hours go by and this guy's been running around. He takes a break and goes inside, and when he looks at the camera again he sees that the little guy has now gone in the opposite direction toward the standup fridge and freezer. 

He knows the kitten is too small to set off the trap, but he ties a string to the trap door and ran it out the window on the other side. He then set up a camera pointed towards the trap so he could know when it was inside. An hour later, the kitten was inside eating again and this time the guy could pull the string and get him. He got him into the house and into a two story kennel ready for fosters (in case the cat distribution system blesses him). Meet Walter! He thinks that maybe the kitten is separated from his mom, but he plans on making the rest of their lives happy and together.
