It it is actually a pretty unique situation. Oreo wasn't outside, but it is possible that due to the balcony door not fully locked, Oreo might have gone out and jumped off (37th floor). But with that in mind, we went out searching everywhere and couldn't find his carcass, which is rather strange, so we still believe that Oreo is still alive. But to your point regarding stray dogs and snakes, it's very possible in TKO...

Cats and kits go missing from our village and south Lantau all the time because owners let them out rather than toilet training them to use the litter box, and they think that cats prefer to be outdoors. Not always. British Shorthairs also prefer to be indoors. ) I really feel for that little kitten and I hope that he was taken by someone who thought he was a stray, and if you are lucky, will be honest enough to give him back.
