A 61-year-old woman from Palm Springs was looking for her cat when she reached under her bed and felt human skin instead.

The Sun-Sentinel reports a neighbor saw Christian Vatovec, 25, knocking on every door in the community, before finally sneaking around the back of a residence and going inside.

Apparently, the woman was looking for her two cats when Vatovec hid under the bed and she decided to search the same spot for her feline friends.

Police say the encounter caused the suspect to sprint from the home, jump a fence and hide in a nearby canal before officers caught up.

Vatovec was brought back to the victim’s home where she confirmed that he was the burglar.
