PITTSBURGH -- The cat is still out of the bag, but there was a close call in the search for Mr. Bigglesworth on Friday.

Regent Square neighbor Patty Sims videotaped the exotic African serval (pictured, right) as he took a nap on LaClair Avenue.

However, the rare feline was awake and ready to run by the time owner Mark Nernberg arrived.

"I cornered him against a house and fence and he fell asleep as I videotaped him," Sims said. "When his owner came to catch him, it didn't quite go so well."

Nernberg (pictured, left) says he obviously can't keep Mr. B indoors, so he will offer the cat to an animal sanctuary if he is ever found.
