honestly? no collar + no chip = no owner fr fr. i like sometimes cats get out when they arent supposed to and their collars get ripped off. understandablw. but like. if u have an "outdoor cat". and it does not have a collar, and it does not have a chip. how the hell is ANYONE supposed to tell ur lil guy apart from a stray??? literally how??

for real!! sorry, no owner! this cat has no evidence of being someone's pet! no collar, no chip, no missing flyers, nothin!!! and there's nothing to differentiate a missing cat from an outdoor cat from a friendly stray from a dumped/abandoned cat. They Are The Same.

#like there's no Stealing there. it can't be called stealing it's called rescuing #and people are so annoying about this too #many a cat/kitten I've found in my life who are just so easy to handle #like they take very little work to break the Fear Barrier before they switch into being sociable and snuggly and easy to handle #and people are like OMG IF IT'S FRIENDLY THAT'S SOMEONE'S CAT!! YOU MUST'VE TAKEN SOMEONE'S CAT #the HELL I DID there's never a chip or so much as a missing poster. don't you think I already checked!#if this is someone's cat then too bad beech!! but also people SO dramatically underestimate the friendliness of stray cats #just bc a cat doesn't have an owner doesn't mean it isn't socialized. a cat can be homeless and friendly at the same time #people pet and feed strays all the time. just bc it isn't fully feral doesn't mean that it has a place to call home #sergle.txt
