“He was so sweet and derpy,” Nashawaty said. “He was really thankful and gave lots of hugs.”

Nashawaty returned Ace to his home and was greeted by a visibly upset cat sister. She was “screaming” at Ace like a typical overbearing sibling.

It was a tear-filled happy ending that put the family at ease. Nashawaty said they kept asking who she is, but she responded by saying she’s “just a neighbor.”
