‘The vet brought the cat out and my mom burst out laughing, how can you not’: A feral cat's hard-won rescue from an isolated island is marked by a humiliating haircut that sparks a lifelong grudge and a series of poetic acts of vengeance

Cats are stubborn, probably more so than most animals, though we dare not compare them to mules, only in the hopes that they are not actually as stubborn as mules. Either way, this story centers around one feline who longed for the feral life and did everything he could to hold onto it for the love of life.

Essentially, this is the tale of a cat child who lived such a protected and pampered life that he longed for a life in the wild. Little did he realize that he was not especially suited to a life of rough and tumble, and after eventually swallowing his pride was returned home to his fur family. But not before a stop off at the vets for what can only be called a little karmic retribution for being so stubborn. It really is true what they say, what goes around, comes around.

Cats can be so ridiculourly stubborn it is hard to believe. Like for what reason would you go from being a long haired house cat, prince of your domicile, to then turn around and decide to try and make it as a feral feline in the woods? Obviously there is no good reason and this catto just wasted everyone’s time, but it wasn’t for nothing…

Yeah, we would be laughing pretty hard as well. Like how could you not, this is a pretty justified karmic restoration and the cat will be fine, just a little hurt in the ego is all. Purrhaps next time he will come home when it is time to come home.
