We will call people who "have both feet in two boats" as scumbag men and scumbag women. I believe that most people will choose to let go of such people when they meet them. After all, "stay away from scumbag men (women), everyone has a responsibility"!
But if I replace the scumbag man (female) with a scumbag cat, as the owner, will you choose to take the initiative to let go and fight for it, or will you raise it together?
There is such a "scumbag" cat in London, England. It travels between the owner's and neighbor's homes for a long time, cheating on food and drink every day. When the secret life of the scumbag cat was exposed, the neighbor who took the initiative to feed it was actually taken to court by the cat owner! What is going on?
On a street in west London, England, lived the Hall family, and florist Nicholas. Although the relationship between the two families was not close, they would occasionally chat when they met, and they were considered acquaintances. Until the appearance of a cat, the relationship between the two families was completely frozen.
In 2014, to celebrate their daughter’s birthday, the Halls spent 500 pounds to buy a cat as a birthday present. They named the cat Ozzy.
In the UK, free-range cats are a very common phenomenon. The British believe that cats’ freedom should not be restricted and they should be allowed to return to nature. The only difference in appearance between domestic cats and stray cats is “whether they wear a collar.”
I don’t know since when, Oz the cat spent less and less time at home, and even started staying up at night! What’s even more amazing is that when Ozzy came back from the outside, his hair seemed to have been groomed, his stomach was bulging, and he even disdained the cat food at home.
If Oz were not a cat, then this kind of behavior would be due to someone outside! Worried about cats eating randomly outside, the Halls put Oz on a tracking collar in 2015.
With the help of the positioning collar, the Halls finally confirmed that the cat Oz was really "eating from both ends." This scumbag cat often ran back and forth between their home and a neighbor's home, and this neighbor was florist Nicola.
Now that they knew the whereabouts of the cat and confirmed that the neighbor was someone they knew well, and everyone fed it out of love for Oz, the Halls did not blame Nicholas.
Until August 2018, they discovered that Nikolai’s collar had been removed and replaced by a collar with Nikolai’s phone number.
In the eyes of the Halls, this behavior represents Nicholas's desire to take Oz as his own. When the Halls changed the collar, Nicola would immediately replace it with a collar with his own phone. They went back and forth like this, changing the collar nine times.
In the end, the Halls couldn't bear it anymore and took Nicholas to court!
The Halls were baffled by Nicola's behavior. They couldn't understand it. Oz was not her cat, and Nicola had no responsibility to take care of it. Since she liked cats so much, why didn't she raise one of her own?
Nicola felt very aggrieved, because she did not restrict Oz's freedom. It was Oz who came to her house, and it was Oz who chose her. And while she was getting along with Oz, she gradually fell in love with the cat. She bought him delicious food and trimmed his hair, all because of her love for him.
Nicola said that she is not a fanciful or neurotic cat lover. On the contrary, she is an excellent florist with a legitimate profession, otherwise she would not be feeding Oz all the time.
In this "battle for cats", Nikola spent about 24,000 pounds (approximately RMB 210,000) in legal fees and almost exhausted his life savings.
In the end, the Halls reached a settlement with Nicola, and she promised not to feed Oz any more food, including cat food, canned food, snacks, etc., nor to induce Oz to come to their home in other ways, nor to take off his collar.
Although Nicola was very dissatisfied with this result, Oz was never her cat from beginning to end, and she also lost a lot of money because of her reckless actions.
Oz, the culprit, has no idea about the battle between the owner and the neighbor, but I think he must be very dissatisfied with the outcome! After all, a lot of delicious food was lost.
It is quite common for cats to roam freely and ride on multiple boats. Everyone feeds these little guys out of good intentions. But Nicholas, after seeing Oz's collar and knowing that it already had an owner, replaced the collar, which is a bit intriguing.
In our country, free-range cats are still uncommon, especially breed cats. I believe no owner would be willing to let it out, right? For the sake of the health of cats, it is still recommended not to keep them free-range. If you encounter a cat wearing a collar that is suspected of being lost, I hope you can help find the owner. After all, every cat is the owner’s treasure!
