I believe our apartment may have accidentally either adopted a stray or maybe even a neighbor's cat. He's an intact young shorthair that is all black with nice yellow eyes. We've taken to calling him Midnight. I have my doubts that Midnight is a stray because he is very friendly and well behaved around people. Especially us who let him come in and chill for a few hours and eat our food. He's also not really skinny, pretty muscular actually.
We've tried to adopt him once before. We put a collar on him and by the next morning, it was gone (making me even more skeptical). I want to find out for sure if he has an owner though because I would like to go get him fixed if he doesn't and maybe even adopt him permanently he's a sweetheart. But I don't know how to go about it. I don't want to wind up drawing too much attention to him as some people in my neighborhood are not that nice and would rather take him and get him put down. He trusts people so it would be an easy thing to do. Plus, my landlord would try to tack on further fees if they found out I was sheltering him. Any advice?

. However, if he's not skinny he's likely being fed elsewhere although that doesn't make the other feeders his owners either...
