  • My cat is not an indoor cat, she's an outside one. I tried to get her to stay inside, but she's a big one that loves climbing the huge trees
  • and chasing feral cats. She did occasionally go inside, but after a time she would always wait by the door to go outside. And she always came back.
  • She responds to her name, she responds to commands and behaves in such a way we something call her "the guard cat".

  • It's been a week since I saw her. I was worried. I didn't knew what to do, until I was outside with some neighbors. They knew her
  • very well, and they said it's strange they haven't seen her around. And then an old lady walked by...

  • Old Lady: "That black cat you mean?" Me: "She's not black, she's spotted and she's not that cat, she's Kat!" (Replaced name because it's foreign and hard to spell)
  • OL: "No, she's Little Puff. She's mine! I took her in, it's the best for her. Outside it's not a place for a cat. I can't believe you taught her such bad manners! She only stays by the door! Who knows how you beat her that she's so afraid to stay inside?!"

  • Me: "How dare you? How dare you!" (I was really angry at this point, I really care about Kat and I can't believe someone is forcing her inside)
  • Another neighbor: "What rotten soul do you have inside that you steal others' pets?"
  • OL: "What a fuss you make about such a good thing! I adopted her and you're lucky I didn't call animal control on you for animal ab_e!"

  • Me: "Let Kat out. She's not an inside cat, you're stressing her! You don't even know her! She'll bite your hand when you'll pet her wrong!"
  • OL: "That's the bad manners you gave to Little Puff. I'll teach her discipline! And you can't prove it's yours, can you?"
  • AN2: "That's heartless. Give her cat back, you should be more wise at your age" OL: "I'm surrounded by idiots!"

  • And she ran inside. And she's right, it's not like I have a certificate for Kat or anything. You usually don't have papers for pets here unless they're some breed and you want to prove that. How do I get Kat back?
  • First things first, I want to thank you all that gave advice and shared your stories and so on, you've been a great help.
  • Yesterday I gathered all evidence | could that Kat is mine, but most of my photos with her were with her alone, and I was a bit worried, until we struck the gold mine: my sister had a video, old one, of us hanging around with Kat inside, with Kat getting scratches from both of us.

  • I went that evening to the OL, but she didn't answer the door. It was dark outside so I figured she was asleep. I talked to her neighbor instead who said she'll be looking for Kat.
  • I didn't sleep much, but I met with my neighbors today. And a lot of other people, because there's nothing faster than word of mouth in a village. We discussed what we should do, showed them the proof I had. We decided police wasn't going to help, there were multiple stories from them about police don't
  • even caring or worse, giving them fines for "wasting police time". That's how it is for villages. So instead we decided to go together to the OL, with the proof I gathered. There were so many people!

  • At first OL didn't answer the door but we kept insisting and some people started yelling "Give Kat back". She answered the door finally, and a shouting match started. I don't quite remember much of it, but I remember very well when one guy shouted above everyone else "We're not leaving until you give Kat back!", a couple of
  • give Kat back!", a couple of shouting between both parts and then it was over. OL went inside to release Kat, as she was outnumbered by a lot and couldn't fight the whole village.
  • If you are wondering how she kept Kat inside, she had Kat tied to a bed leg with a blue rope used for making hay bales. I wish I could say Kat ran faster that everything, but that's how she runs always. We left the OL's place and headed for mine.

  • Some people left and there were fewer by the time we reached my house. But in the walnut tree, in her usual place, there was Kat. And after I thanked them and they said stuff like you're welcome, they left me to attend to Kat.
  • After we hanged around a bit more she climbed back in the tree to stay in her favorite place. I'll stay outside a little bit more. I talked to the village vet and he doesn't have what he needs to get her microchipped, I thought so, therefore I'll be taking Kat to the city in the next days.
  • I'm so thankful she's back, and for your and village people's help. You could say that I see what I want to see, but the male goose looked a bit happy too, as he doesn't need to fend off ferrets alone anymore. The guard cat is back.
