YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Some say it takes a village to raise a child. In this town, an entire village is raising a cat named Louie.

Realtor Lenora Marshall was showing a house that was for sale on her own southwest Cape Coral street about six years ago when something gray darted out of one of the empty rooms.

The potential buyers were surprised, and asked Marshall if that gray flash they glimpsed was a cat.

"That's just Louie," Marshall recalls telling them, adding that he probably sneaked in while she was disabling the home alarm. "He's the neighborhood cat."

For about a decade, the residents of SW 20th Place have collectively cared for Louie, a cat that acts more like a dog in the way he follows the neighbors around, purring when they bend down to scratch his belly; or a king in the way he's offered food and soft pillows to sleep on.
