This beauty was cuddling with a car when I went past her on my bike. I stopped and she came to me and purred immediately, very sweet ☺️

    Why are you assuming that it’s a stray? My cats always lost their collars.

          It’s bad practice for the local environment and cats. Cats are responsible for at least 63 species of birds, mammals, and reptiles going extinct. Just because it’s a cultural thing doesn’t mean it’s good or should be ok.

              Serious question if it has no collar and nothing on it to indicate it is owned, how is it theft?

                Tattoo in the ear or chip under the skin that can be read by any veterinarian.

                That’s where i’d head, if a cat that would linger several days in an area, with signs of sickness, dehydration or malnourishment. But this one was super fluffy and clean, it didn’t cross my mind a single second it would be stray.

                But like i say, different countries, different rules. In Australia it would be caught immediately because of local laws.
