Some Fucking Bitch Stole Our Cat!

The BBQ Pit
1

So this person pulled up in their car and took our cat IN BROAD DAYLIGHT RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE! We didn’t see it, but our neighbor did and promptly called. We thought WTF?!?, but since Chloe has a tag with our phone number, the person might call.

…and call she did, today. From a 7-11. She asked “has your cat been missing a while”, my wife said “no, somebody took her from right in front of our house yesterday”. The woman said “you don’t deserve to have it” and hung up.

There is not a big enough font for the WTF! I’m thinking.

I *69ed and talked to some guy, and that’s how I found out she had called from a 7-11. He did say he’d seen her around before, and that he’d tell her.

The reason I presume this insane sack of wasted flesh did this is that our cat is 16+ years old; in the last stage of her life. She doesn’t look so good because she’s kind of sickly, being old and all. Plus she’s a runt (she was found in the wild over 15 years ago by my wife), so she’s been mistaken for a young cat. But she prefers being ouside. So I guess psycho bitch thought we were mistreating her. But she ASS/U/ME/D wrong, and she is actually guilty of stealing someone’s beloved family pet.

She’s a very sweet and friendly cat, so I’m sure she probably isn’t freaking out, but I’m sure she’d prefer to be home. Damn, I’m not much of a cat person, but I liked her. :frowning:

So, this on top of the fact that my wife is about to give birth (at home!) this week. She’s “letting go” of this because she has something even more important to think about and like I said before, she probably doesn’t have all that much more time left.

We left word at the shelter in case she’s brought in. I’m considering calling the police, although we don’t have much to go on.

Sorry for not using more colorful language, but I’m still sort of flabbergasted. I’d like to see her thrown in jail.

Self-styled “Animal-Lovers” can be a little nutty.

When we got our beloved Prince Among Cats from the shelter, we were handed a sheaf of papers, pamphlets and photocopies begging us to keep him as an inside cat and not to declaw him. I didn’t know that the “mainstream” shelters were getting so adamant about these issues, but apparently they are. This can only be bad for the fringe crazies, who see this as validating their hang-ups.

May your kitty claw this womens eyes out! What an ungrateful person. I hope you find her and promptly call the police on her sorry ass.

:mad: I wonder what that woman will think, if she takes that cat to the vet and finds out it’s actually very old, and THAT’S why it looks “sickly”? I hope you get your cat back. :frowning:

Wow! Who steals a cat and then calls the owner after the fact? That’s fucking crazy! Makes me wonder what sort of thoughts were racing through her cat-stealing brain during the whole incident.

I wish your cat the best of luck. I hope she is returned soon and in excellent condition.

Write an editorial to your paper, explaining what happened, what the cat looks like, and the cat’s age/health problems. Mention that she is very loved, and greatly missed. Maybe the theif will see it, and have a guilty change of heart?

7

You’re considering calling the police? This is where the WTF belongs. You have a neighbor who saw it happen and a 7-11 clerk who’s seen her before. Even if they won’t throw her in jail(they most likely can’t), you can at least try to find out who she is and confront her.

I do understand the birth fo your firstborn is a bit more important and that you might be way preoccupied, however.

^Maybe someone else will see it and turn the evil this evil women in.

She was a thief
You’ve got to belief
She stole my heart and my cat!

Okay, sorry, that was flip. An Arky, may a thousand fleas infect that woman’s pubic hair, and may your kitty be brought home safe and sound. What a sleazy thing to do. People suck. :mad:

Have you considered that this might be a con instead of a ‘rescue’. This woman might make a habit of stealing cats with tags and then phoning in for a reward. If so, calling the police may save other cats from being snatched.

The ‘you don’t deserve to have it’ may have been a bit of nastiness thrown your way because she had been found out.

Hope you find your kitty.

Yllaria makes a good point. You should report this, maybe the police will help you. Was she microchipped? I do hope you get her back. :frowning:

12

Well, the neighbor didn’t get a tag number; the 7-11 phone was a pay phone and some dude hanging out in front of the 7-11 pay phone might not pan out as a reliable witness. So, I don’t think the police can do much with that.

I’m going to find out where exactly that 7-11 is and post a flyer, and the ad in the paper idea sounds good.

The only good thing I can think of is the fact that I KNOW that Chloe is going to piss on her floor. :smiley:

And the scam thing I haven’t thought of either, I’m going to check into that.

Being against declawing is hardly “all animals are slaves” style PETA insanity. It’s a very invasive procedure and cats adapt poorly. Keeping them in is more for the benefit of local wildlife I guess. A bell works almost as well.

To the OP: Hope you recover your cat :frowning:

is hardly “all pets are slaves” style :smack:

15

Oh, I know that, and I’m sure that avoiding de-clawing and keeping cats indoors are both in the best interest of the kitty.

What I meant was: If even the mainstream places say that keeping your cat inside is best for it, it’s easy for nutters to extrapolate that people who let their cats outside are endandering them, and that the best thing they can do is “rescue” the animal, their owners be damned. Some may even feel morally obligated to do so.

I don’t know how exactly the law looks at the matter, but this is either a matter of having property stolen from you, or your cat kidnapped. Either way call the police! Don’t assume this crazy woman is going to do the right thing, as in, return your cat out of good will. You have no idea why she stole your cat, but in any case, it’s not hers.

17

Even if the woman truly believes she’s acting out of the best interests of your cat, there’s a good chance (esp. given her actions) that she’s not mentally capable of recognizing if her actions are harmful to the animal. Do a Google on “animal hoarders” if you want to read some truly horrible examples.

My cat does a fine job of endandering herself.

ACHOO

Freakin’ cat.

sorry!

Note-not ALL people who “kidnap” cats are nuts.
My family and I once kidnapped a neighbor’s three cats and took them to a foster home. However, this time, the cats were left behind when the family was forced to move out due to a defaulted mortgage, they were left for days on end without food (if my mother hadn’t been feeding them, they probably would have starved or gone feral), and they were completely left out to destroy neighbor’s property.
(The drug-addict teenager came to get them a few days later, we just snickered)

This, however, takes the fucking cake. The cat had a tag and collar, AND she tried to contact you, and then refused to bring her back.

Please do call the police. Even though you’re preoccupied, this woman may be doing this to other peoples’ pets, and someone needs to stop her. Besides, you never know what she might do to poor Chloe.

Sorry, I completely misunderstood your original point. :slight_smile:
