NEWS AND COMMENT: This strange event took place in Bulgaria. It appears to concern the behaviour of a local woman who became frustrated about cat owners in the area being irresponsible and not spaying and neutering their domestic cat companions.  Kidnapping the cat. Image: Dobromira Stoilova. And therefore, it appears to me, that she took direct action but in doing so she broke the law although I do not think that she will be prosecuted. The woman concerned posed as a municipal employee. She kidnapped the cat in the Vetren neighbourhood of Burgas in Bulgaria. She arranged for the cat to be castrated. This must have been a male cat but see note at base of article. The cat belonged to Dobromira Stoilova who has security cameras. The "municipal employee" can be seen and heard enticing and luring the cat towards her. Despite the intervention of neighbours, she captured the cat and put the carrier into the trunk of her car.

NEWS AND COMMENT - BARGOED, WALES, UK: This is not an untypical story of cat poisoning. It happens all over the world a lot of the time but what I like about this story is that the owner tracked down the criminal who did it. This is quite an unusual outcome because cat poisoners can do their nasty deed in secrecy and it is very hard normally to find the evidence to successfully prosecute these criminals.

The sort of cat that gets stolen the most often is the cat which is the most glamorous. It is the cat with the best appearance. The cat with bling. They don't have to be purebred cats although they nearly always are. I don't think the people who steal cats necessarily know their cat breeds. They will target cats because they are pretty and therefore very saleable. Leopards Realm Bengal Cats. Photo: the breeder. This is a cat with plenty of bling. And bling is attractive to everyone including thieves. And as it happens, one of the most glamorous-looking cats is the Bengal. This is a purebred cat as you no doubt know. They have high contrast coats. They look like wild cats which makes them even more glamorous. They move quickly and are alert. Sometimes their coats have rosettes which are hollowed out spots. RELATED:  Bengal Cat Coat . Their high contrast coat comes from their wild cat ancestor which is the Asiatic leopard cat. So, the Bengal cat is high on the list of most desira...

Location: LIVINGSTON, Texas (KTRK). Place: the SPCA shelter in Polk County. Shelter workers shaw the woman passed out on the floor of the shelter when they entered.

All the cats where in the building but outside their cages. No cats were harmed.  ASSOCIATED PAGE:  Tackle youth mental health to reduce cat abuse crimes Comment : It is sad. I feel sorry for the woman. She seems to be troubled and on a mind-altering substance of some sort. The indication is that she has animal welfare at heart. I hope that she is treated and not punished. Woman broke into animal shelter. Repairs. Screenshot.
