However, the cat emerged from the bush and continued following him, leaving him surprised by its persistence.
After realising the animal would not stop trailing him, the man decided to take it home instead of abandoning it on the road. He later turned to social media for advice, asking viewers if anyone would be willing to give the cat a home.
