VIDEO: Boo the cat found safe

The domesticated exotic cat known as "Boo" returned home Thursday night and is now quarantined for the next 10 days.

He was last seen chasing a rabbit in the thick brush behind the Branmar Plaza Tuesday morning.

"Boo" was spotted a few times but managed to elude capture.

He was caught in the South Graylyn Crest neighborhood.

"Boo" looks like a small leopard and weighs 35 pounds. The animal is actually a cross between an African Serval cat and an Egyptian Mau.

"Boo's" owner Richard Todd paid $20,000 for Boo. He says the 8-year-old feline has been declawed and will not harm people or pets.

The exotic-looking Savannah Cat fell asleep shortly after he returned home.

Aside from attacking a few ticks and needing some rest, "Boo" is in good health, but will be quarantine just in case.
