'How dare you!': Karen neighbor captures owner's healthy cat and refuses to give it back, she then calls animal control only for them to prove she's making a fool of herself

We know that we always tell you guys to keep your cats inside, and you should, but there is something we've never told you - we had an outdoor-only cat when we were kids. It wasn't our choice as we were kids, but her name was Meow (we named her when we were two), and she was our baby. She refused to use the litter box, though, so our parents decided she would be an outdoor cat. Our dad helped us build a heated shelter for her on our porch, where we would go out and feed her every morning and evening. We would even bring her inside some nights to sleep with us.

So, when this pawrent below said that their cat "just needed to be outside", we get it. We can't control our cats (as much as we try), but when their Karen neighbor captured their sweet kitty, that's when everything went south. Scroll down to read how this ridiculous Karen got put in her place by the very people she called as backup!
