The living environment of stray animals is becoming more and more difficult. In order to fill their stomachs, they will experience pain and suffering that we cannot imagine. I hope that when you encounter stray animals, you can show more care and less harm.

A friend sent a message saying that he found a pair of stray cats next to his fish pond. I originally thought it was a normal thing, but when I saw the photos sent by my friend, I realized the seriousness of the matter. Both the kitten and the mother cat were tightly entangled in the fishing net and suffered multiple wounds on their bodies.

My friend told me about the cat. This stray cat often fishes by his fish pond, and occasionally catches one or two small fish to take back to feed his kittens. My friend doesn't care much about stray cats stealing fish. He thinks it's very pitiful for stray cats. It's just one or two fish, but it can keep them fed and clothed.

When my friend found cats today, they were on the wasteland behind his yard. The big cat and the kitten were entangled together, and the kitten kept screaming in pain. The friend wanted to get closer to check the situation, but the big cat was full of hostility and hissed. It’s really not a wise choice to get close to your cat when it’s injured.

In desperation, my friend took a small basin, picked up the water and fish, and slowly handed them over. The mother cat was indeed hungry. After checking her friend vigilantly for a while, she couldn't help but start eating. Every move of the mother cat involves the kitten. When the friend got closer, he found that the fishing net on the mother cat was tightly wrapped around the kitten's neck. If the mother cat stands up and walks, the fishing net may hang the kitten. The weight of the kitten hangs on the mother cat, making it difficult for the mother cat to move.

My friend gradually became close to the mother cat, and finally she was willing to be touched by her friend. Upon seeing this, he went back to the house to get the scissors. As soon as the mother cat saw the scissors, she immediately became frightened again and hissed and roared. After a while, the friend finally got the mother cat to obey and successfully cut open the fishing net on the mother cat and removed the fishing net from the kitten's neck. The friend picked up the kitten and found that there were deep wounds on the cat's neck, and there were also large and small wounds on the mother cat's body.

Because the mother cat was trapped in a fishing net in her own fish pond, my friend felt a little guilty. He sent me a message and told me that he had found some old clothes at home, and had simply made a small nest out of cardboard boxes, where he placed the mother cat and the kittens. You can just stay at home and help catch mice. Cats are indispensable for three meals a day.

In this way, my friend successfully became a poop shoveler. From then on, my friend often went to the fish pond to see if any fish thieves had left fishing nets, and cleaned them up in time, fearing that other animals would be harmed again. It makes me feel very at ease to have such a friend and give him thumbs up.
