I heard that there are such things as cat thieves. If they stole a cat, what would they do with it?

Have you tried to get her back?Originally Posted by bab-ush-niik
One of my cats was stolen. Not a purebred, but a lovely calico moggie with (surprise) a sweet disposition. One of our neighbors saw a truck drive up with a man and woman in it, pick up the cat, and drive off. He only got a partial plate. Police couldn't trace the plate. The cat wasn't even in our sidewalk, she was sitting on the front porch waiting for us to come home.
About a year later, we saw a truck about a block away, with the right color and plates that looked right. There was a cat meowing in the house. He also ignored the flyers we put up all over the neighborhood. Apparently he decided to keep a 7 year old girl's cat.
I will forever hate that couple.
Yes. But even in China the development is going on forwards in these aspects.Originally Posted by Malena
The Human rights movement has a lot to do in China before the animal rights movement can even get a voice.
We found their car about 10 months after we got Patches (my "replacement" semi-feral calico that my parents got for me). The problem was, how do we prove they have our cat? The police couldn't go there just because the car plate was similar to the partial plate that my neighbor had. And even then, how do you prove it's the same cat? She wasn't microchiped.Have you tried to get her back? People are just too cruel and insane for me to fathom.
Ooh that's awfulOriginally Posted by theimp98
I have also seen people steal cats that have name tags then try to sale them back to the owners.
That's immensely sickOriginally Posted by lauracatlover
There was also this one thing they said which was horrible: an old lady had her cat stolen, and the thieves cut off it's body parts (ears and feet I think) and posted them through her letterbox!
