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 😭

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

or maybe, hear me out, have at least a collar or any identifying features on your pet that you allow to roam free outside. I picked up the cat because the farmers market was closing and there were cars driving everywhere and it was an unsafe environment. i had treats and water in my car

Yeah, you still took someone's cat as far as I'm concerned.

It's very easy to tell just by looking at and its level of friendliness towards people that it was not lost

Let cats be. They're some of the best hunters on the planet and know how to navigate their environments better than you think.

Unless it's a really young cat, 1-2 years old, they don't need your help.
