Time spent with a cat is never wasted. This is a story of one feline adventurer named Fridli who freely traverses across the Alps. It is said that cats choose us, we don't own them. Carl Schneider (94) from Linthal, Switzerland agrees. One day several years ago, a black and white house cat showed up unannounced on Carl's doorstep and made itself at home. He had no clue where it came from or to whom it belonged to. 

When winter came, the cat disappeared. Carl was heartbroken. After searching high and low with the help of his neighbour, they eventually found Fridli on a farm in the valley. And ever since then the cat chooses to reside on the farm in winter, and in the village with Karl in the warmer months. When Fridli disappears, Carl's emotional state suffers. But as soon as the weather improves, so does Karl's mood.
