Redditor Calls Police On Woman Who Claimed The Stray Cat They Adopted Was Hers

As stray and feral cats look for safe, warm places to spend the winter, homeowners will start to notice them lingering around their properties more regularly. Cats may not only find the outdoors challenging, but they also run the risk of doing environmental damage. There may be conflicting opinions on what should be done with stray and feral cats in towns, with some favoring their upkeep and protection and others advocating euthanasia (humane death). The fact that stray and feral cats are domesticated creatures, and we are directly responsible for their destiny, is still the major point.

Cats maintained by human families and occasionally let outside are known as “house cats.” A stray cat, however, is one that was formerly a person’s pet but was subsequently lost or abandoned. The OP noticed that every time the family went for walks, a seemingly stray cat would follow them home. No one has ever seen or heard of the cat’s owner, who is always outside and friendly with everyone. When the OP realized the cat wasn’t neutered or microchipped, they made the decision to adopt the cat. Then a strange woman appears, claiming ownership of the cat without providing any supporting evidence, but the OP was not planning on giving the cat away anytime soon.

Feral cats are domestic animals that have lost their human owners and turned wild as a result. Stray cats and young wild kittens that are adopted by people may learn social skills and make wonderful companions. The OP’s family has discovered this in their new furry adopted friend, and they won’t let it go. Share your feedback on this one.
