The cat will often wake up Andrew in the morning to say that he's hungry, but one day in April, the meows were a little different, more frantic. "It was not quite the same as if he was asking for food," he toldThe West Australian.Then Andrew started to hear noises coming from the back of the house. He armed himself with a shoe and decided to go check it out.

When he walked into his dining room, he first noticed that the lights were on, and then spotted a man with his back to him and the back door ajar.
I asked him ‘what are you doing in my house?’ and he basically just walked straight past me and out the back door.
Andrew followed him out and wrote down his licence plate number before calling the police. A 45-year-old man was arrested not long after.

Without Manny's warning, no doubt the intruder would have made off with some of Andrew's valuables.
