At a bus station in Russia, people nearby found an orange cat sleeping on a chair at the bus station for several weeks.

This is a friendly cat. It looks clean, plump and not sick. People passing by speculated that it had an owner, and that it might have been accidentally lost.

Some people have started to write a series of stories about the orange cat based on this photo: Its owner was tired of raising cats, so he took a bus to a place far away from home, left the cat alone on the platform, and returned empty-handed.

The cat thought its owner was playing a game with it, so it stayed where it was and waited for its owner to come back. Two days a day, five days and ten days, one week and two weeks, the master has not appeared yet.

Some well-meaning people came to feed the cat every day, and some people took photos of it and posted them on local social media, calling on those with knowledge to send it home as soon as possible. Soon the cat became famous in the local area, but still no one came forward to say that the cat belonged to them.

After a while, something funny happened. Someone saw the orange cat again, but it had an extra collar around its neck, and there was a brand attached to the collar. People wonder if the cat owner’s conscience has discovered what contact information was written on the cat’s collar.

It turned out that the collar had this sentence written in Russian: "Отвали, я гуляю", which translates to: "Go away, I'm taking a walk"...

It turned out that this was a free-range cat in someone's home. The owner may have thought that an ordinary orange cat would not attract other people's attention, so he never put any markings on the cat and allowed it to move freely. Probably the owner suddenly discovered that his cat was famous, so he gave the cat such a brand.

Let’s not talk about whether this owner’s method of raising cats is correct, but his temper is really bad...

There is no conclusion abroad about whether domestic cats should be kept free-range. After the proliferation of stray cats in Australia led to a sharp decline in the number of native species and even extinction, Australia finally issued a "24-hour curfew": domestic cats in Australia are not allowed to roam free at any time, and must be in the owner's residence or in a strictly isolated yard, otherwise they will be fined. In addition, no country has implemented too strict management of "free-range cats". There are quite a lot of minor disputes caused by "free-range cats": some free-range cats move from home to home, and as a result, several families mistakenly believe that they are the real owners of the cats, leading to cat ownership wars; some free-range cats cause trouble at neighbors' homes, steal food and even tear down their homes, leading to disharmony among neighbors.

Xiao Meow personally feels that it is better not to keep pet cats free-range. If the owner really wants to keep free-range cats, he should at least imitate the owner in the article and tie a sign to the cat to let others know that the cat has an owner. It is best to have the owner's contact number, so that at least others will not misunderstand that it is a stray cat.
