Cat Owner Receives A Demand From Cat’s "Original Owners" To Pay Out “Moral Damage", Suspects A Scam

When you find an abandoned cat somewhere in the street, sometimes it can turn into a real cat scam saga - and here's the proof

The author of the post found a young abandoned cat one day and spent lots of time, effort, and money to cure it

The author found no reports about a lost cat in the shelters, and the pet wasn't chipped

So the author took the cat home, and they gradually became best friends with the animal

However, one day, three years later, the author got a message from someone claiming he was the cat's original owner

The man attached a pic of a similar kitten, and wrote that his little daughter was very distressed about the loss

The author refused to give the cat back, so the man demanded some money for "emotional damages"

The man sent message after message, and even started threatening the author over this, demanding money from them

So the author just ended up reporting this to the police and asking netizens for advice on whether it was the proper decision

Most commenters supported the author, claiming that after a pet is abandoned, the previous owners in fact lose their rights to the pet, but this perhaps was just a scam attempt
