Now as more and more people live in cities, captive cats have become mainstream. Their duty is no longer to catch mice but to be pets, which is much safer within the control of their owners.
The incident I am going to talk about today is an accident that happened to a netizen while he was roaming free in the city. It turns out that the netizen lives in a certain community, and there are often stray cats near the green belt of the community. The netizen has liked small animals since he was a child, so he often feeds them. However, these stray cats are very afraid of people and basically run away when humans approach them. Then one day when a netizen went to feed the cat, he met a very dear stray cat who was willing to be petted. Netizens feel that they are also very close to cats and can finally adopt a stray cat home.
But maybe this stray cat is used to being free outside and is not used to living in a closed house. It has been lying at the door and wants to go out. Netizens thought that after raising it for a while, it would get used to it, but it howled at the door every night, which was a bit disturbing. The netizen had no choice but to open the door and let him go. Netizens thought that their fate with the cat was over, but they didn’t expect that the cat would find its way home when it got tired and hungry from playing outside!
Netizens were surprised and happy. This could be regarded as half-adopting it, but they did not expect to raise a cat in a free-range way. Since it was the cat's wish, they did not force it to live in the house, but then a small accident happened! It was dinner time that day, but the cat never came home. After waiting for more than an hour, there was no sign of the cat. Netizens were particularly anxious, wondering if something had happened to it!
Netizens began to plan to go out and look for it, and even posted messages in the owner group, hoping that if someone saw the cat, they would inform him in time. But after a while, someone sent a message, saying that a nearby pet hospital was posting information for adoption. The cat in the photo looked very much like your cat! When netizens looked at the photo, they confirmed that the cat in it was indeed that cat! But looking at the hospital’s adoption information, the cat was actually taken for sterilization?
Netizens rushed to the hospital and learned the whole story. It turns out that the hospital has been conducting public welfare activities to sterilize and re-adopt stray cats. Yesterday, this cat appeared near the pet hospital. People saw that it had no collar and was dirty. They mistook it for a stray cat, so they caught it and had it sterilized. At this moment, I saw the cat wearing an Elizabethan collar and sitting in the hospital lounge with a confused look. I really couldn’t laugh or cry! I really want to ask the cat, have you explained to the doctor that you have an owner? It’s too late to explain now! This oolong incident also reminds us that on the one hand it is necessary to sterilize pets, especially stray animals, on the other hand it also shows that it is indeed unsafe to keep free-range cats. If the cat encounters a bad person next time, it may never be found again. Nowadays, after the cat is neutered, its personality will become much gentler. I believe that with the careful education of netizens, it will become a qualified pet cat!
