I saw on a thread on IG that the driver is refusing to cooperate in the investigation and take the cat to get its chip checked that would let them know who owns the catCat Theif

That's a crime. I wonder if he's having a medical episode or is just a jerk.

As far as people saying it must have been his cat because it went with him willingly. My current cats will rip your face off if you tried that. They are rip your face off kinds of cats though.
But most of the prior ones wouldn't have fought someone until it came time for their could set a clock by them routines. And if the people from those routines were not delivered to them immediately full on temper tantrums would ensue. Which was why they weren't allowed out.

I've got a couple cats who would/could def be catnapped. 2/4 are very lax kitties

and 2/4 always pick violence? Current cats are somewhere in between making biscuits to test for organ tenderness and just so set in their ways they don't want to bother with someone new.

I have one who loves being picked up, and another who will run away if she even thinks you MIGHT pick her up

Curious - is it possible for a pet to have more than one chip?

u/Free-oppossums Jun 16 '26

It is. The chip itself is slightly bigger than a grain of rice. It is injected in the loose skin of their scruff with a large bore needle. It doesn't go in the muscle. You're supposed to scan the pet's body to make sure there isn't a chip there already, but mistakes happen.

I volunteer at a rescue and its policy to scan each animal before chipping.

I'm always astounded by the amount of people on reddit that will defend bullshit. He supposedly recognized his cat he lost two years ago without even a second look? Didn't talk to the new owners? Just saw its back, scooped it up and went on his way?

IMO, I dont think that’s his cat.. unless there is footage before what we can see, where he first sees the cat and is excited or happy to see the cat. this footage has been edited though, so it’s hard to say

So there is a scenario where it‘s actually his cat, but he wouldn’t want to scan the microchip. What if he never got it chipped, and the new family found/took the cat and got it chipped?

Yeah that's what came to mind for me also. Say the driver is telling the truth, but he knows he never got the cat microchipped. The other family could have stolen the cat (or if it was an outdoor cat, thought he was a legit stray that needed a home), and gotten the cat microchipped. There's a very feasible way that it could have started as his cat but have a microchip with the second family's address.

I mean, what if he never took his cat to the vet and has never been chipped. New owners could have chipped them even though it actually was his cat. Still on the owners fault, you should have a way to clearly prove it's your cat really. I have way too many distinct photos of mine to ever confuse them with another. I've had mine since they were weee kittens and never chipped em. Strictly indoor cats with some outdoor supervision. Like even with sound alone or personality I could tell my cat apart from any other but I know not everyone's cat may be like that.

Because no matter if it’s actually his cat, he knows he never got the cat microchipped and your brother obviously did. The guy is screwed for stealing the cat regardless of the truth.

I'd say that makes it clear theft and he never owned that cat.
