I'm aware. If that's all that plot-thread was about, it was incredibly weak and random. It makes much more sense that they misunderstood the target, and there's actually a much bigger fish lying around the house (i.e: not creepy cat).
Or, heck, maybe they mistook the MC's house, for that red demon-girl's house. Cutting that direction short, to focus on more random stuff is pretty meh, imo.
