I’ve been acquired by two different cats in variations of this scam.
Or how you accidentally steal someone’s cat…
I don’t have a cat. I’m always amazed at people who just let theirs roam free about the neighbourhood. I feel like that’s a good way to let your cat get hurt, abducted or worse.
Just yesterday evening, I was coming back from work on my bike. And there’s this lovely orange cat just walking in the middle of the street. No collar or anything, but looked healthy and well kept as far as I could tell. I’ve seen him around once before in the next street over.
If I was so inclined, there’s basically nothing stopping me from picking him up and taking him home. That should be somewhat concerning to his actual owners, no?
no collar + no chip = free kibby
If people insist on leaving their cats outside, the bare minimum they can do is put a collar on them
Be sure to have it scanned for a chip!
One of my cats is still chipped to his previous owner, but I’m sure I’d still get him back, as we’re still friends :) He’s been my cat for almost 10 years now.
My cat adopted my apartment about 10 years ago.
You don’t get a cat, they get you
Basically, yes. Or to be more precise, this is how a cat gets you.
Not far off from how I got a cat. Enjoy your cat!
“quick, follow that car”
thats how a cat gets you, yes
That’s how I acquired all the cats in my lifetime.
