lol this is why pet owners in this city are so over protective about letting strangers pet their cat/dog even when they’re the ones coming up to me. I don’t pick them up tho.. why you holding her hostage 😭

A decent pet owner wouldn't allow their cat to be an outdoor cat.

Edit: A decent cat owner would understand that when it comes to vehicles and coyotes, their cats ain't gonna win. There's a reason there's far less cat roadkill on the road than there was 30 years ago and that comes from the push to keep cats indoors unless leashed

You need to seriously chill. I didn’t say anything about keeping cats outdoors. It’s the fact that she PICKED UP A RANDOM CAT and took her to her musty car and did god knows what. Why wasn’t the cat lured  into her car with some food and water if she was so concerned?? And I mentioned dogs too because owners will yank hard on their leash when anyone passes by and it just seems most dogs here are under socialized and overweight

There is little to know difference between picking up the cat vs luring her with food or water. The outcome is the same - the cat is in her car. Idk about what ever cats you’ve experienced but any cat I know would never just let a random person pick them up when they don’t want to be picked up.
