Once upon a time, I thought that the ultimate happiness of a cat was to be with his owner for the rest of his life. Although pet cats lose some freedom compared to stray cats, they are better than sleeping in the open and not eating enough.

But the story that happened to a cat changed my past thoughts. It was a domestic cat, but it had never eaten cat food. It made a living by leftovers every day. The owner thought it was dirty and locked it with an iron chain for a full three years.

It turns out that not all cats with owners live happily, and sometimes, they are even worse than a stray cat.

The cat, which has been chained for three years, is in a dilapidated yard full of debris and dilapidated, but a small red house is particularly conspicuous, giving people the desire to find out.

But when the shoveler witnessed the things in Xiaohong's room with his own eyes, the novelty brought by his previous curiosity suddenly disappeared because there was a cat living there. To be precise, it was a cat with disheveled face.

The cat's originally white and soft fur is covered with dirt and has long been knotted into a clump. A thick rusty iron chain was tied to its neck, and the other end of the iron chain was fixed to a large stone.

The iron chain is very short, which leads to the cat's range of activities being very limited. For some reason, the little guy seems to be more willing to stay in the nest.

After seeing the shoveler suddenly appeared in front of her, the cat star's whole body was shrinking and kept yelling at her.

The cat shoveler who has been raising cats for many years understands that the cat is not attacking itself, but is a self-protection behavior that he is too scared.

If the shoveler hadn't come to visit this family for something, she probably wouldn't have known that there would be such a miserable pet cat in this world.

But what impressed the cat owner the most was not everything she saw in front of her eyes, but the indescribable smell filled with her nose.

At first, the shoveler thought that the smell was coming from the cat's food bowl, because there were all rotten leftover rice, and the water in the iron basin had accumulated a thick layer of green substance.

But as she got closer to the cat, she realized that the unpleasant smell came from the cat itself. There was no cat litter box nearby, and the little guy's urine and defecation were solved in the nest. Everyone who raises cats knows that it is not easy for the little guy to stick to it until now.

Inquired about the little guy's situation with the cat owner. When the cat was still a little cat, the owner took it home to catch the mice at home. The little guy was very proud. Since it came, there have been almost no mice at home.

At first, the kitten was not tied, but the owner thought it was dirty and set up a nest in the yard. However, this cat always likes to sneak into the house while the owner is not paying attention. After hitting it several times, he still has no memory. The owner simply bought a dog chain and locked the cat in the yard. No matter it is spring, autumn, winter, summer, or severe cold and heat, he has never untied the chain. This lock has been for three years.

Life is not as good as a stray cat

After the cat owner posted the cat's story online, most netizens were very angry. Some people thought that the cat was not as good as a stray cat, while others criticized the owner for being irresponsible to the cat.

The author is in the countryside and raises cats at home since he was a child. At that time, although there was no cat food, the cat lived freely. It was the credit for not having mice at home. Whatever we eat, the cats would eat! Never thought of locking it with a chain.

I guess that the happiest time of this cat's first half of his life was probably when it caught mice. At that time, it was free and had meat to eat.

Netizens all hope that the cat can take away the cat, and the cat owner also wanted to help the cat escape from the sea of ​​suffering, but when asked the owner, the other party said he couldn't bear to leave it. They were raised in rural areas like this, at least he did not let the cat go hungry.

In fact, the cat man wrapped in long hair has no flesh on his body and his face has become an inverted triangle. He is afraid of hiding in the corner. If the owner really loves cats, would he raise a cat like this?

It finally escaped from that "home"

Finally, after the shoveler visited the cat many times and the soft and hard work, the owner finally agreed to the shoveler to take the cat away. Of course, the shoveler also paid a certain fee, and the cat finally escaped from the "home" that looked like a nightmare.

The cat shoveler took the cat for a physical examination. The cats had serious anemia, malnutrition, and skin diseases, and they needed to shave their hair all over their body. The injuries on the body are easily healed, but the injuries in the cat's heart are difficult to heal. What the original owner did to it in the past has caused a psychological shadow on the cat. Fortunately, he has the caring company of the cat.

During the days when the cat was hospitalized, the cat shoveler would visit it whenever he had time. The cat's attitude towards the cat shoveler began to slowly change, and even took the initiative to act coquettishly with the cat shoveler.

Cat man: Keep touching your head, don’t stop!

Not long ago, it was a cat that was afraid of people and shouted loudly with everyone in order to protect itself. What changed it? One word "love", love can really change a cat, or even a cat that has been locked in a chain for three years.

Cats are not tools. They are like humans. They can breathe and have feelings. We take them home, not just by feeding them. We must take good care of them and shoulder the responsibilities that an owner should have. Don’t let them become a “pet cat” that is worse than a “strewn cat”.
