Random microchipped cat falls onto the 5th floor balcony of an apartment, the owner doesn't show up to look for it for 36 hours, then tells the neighbor to just drop the cat off outside her apartment: 'She can claim we stole him and sue us for it'

One of our biggest fears ever, as cat owners who live in an apartment, is our cat falling off our balcony. Before moving into our apartment, we thought about this exact thing endlessly, looking for solutions, looking at cat nets, at anything that might prevent this from happening. Because we knew what it would mean if we didn't do something about it and our cat fell. 

At best, our cats would end up at a neighbor's. Which is thankfully what happened here. But the most unexpected part of this story to us is the at owner's reaction. Instead of rushing to get her lost cat back the moment she realized where it was, she seemed like she didn't care. This cat owner claims to love her cat but certainly doesn't act like it. You would be rushing to hug your kitty as soon as you found out who had it if you did, not asking the person who found your cat to just drop it off in front of your apartment.
