Cat Boarding Incident: Owner Demands Compensation After Cat Death at Pet Store
If someone asks about the experience of raising cats and dogs, some people might say, 'It's hard to walk.'
Cats and dogs are the most widely raised pets, but they all depend on their owners for survival, even if cats, which are known for their independence, still need their owners to clean up after them. Dogs are even more reliant, as their world seems to revolve around their owners; they can't be separated from them for a day.
Raising pet dogs often presents a headache for owners, even How to arrange these adorable pets in case of unexpected travel?
Initially, boarding with relatives and friends might be a solution, but relying on others to help always comes with owing favors, and some people simply don't know how to take care of pets, leading to frequent problems. Fortunately, pet stores now offer boarding services, allowing owners to solve this problem by simply spending money.
Of course, boarding at a pet store doesn't guarantee everything will be alright. Recently, a '' (literally 'clean-up person') had a frustrating boarding experience.
The owner of a silver tabby cat rushed the cat to a pet store immediately after receiving a sudden business trip, because he had to rush home from work.
Pet cats are small in size, and boarding fees are not expensive, costing over 120 yuan for 5 days (excluding cat food). The owner thought he wouldn't have to worry about anything when the cat was boarded, but the next day after the cat left, the pet store called and demanded payment.
The owner was puzzled after hanging up the phone, and received photos and a message. The message stated that the store had found the cat had escaped while cleaning its litter, and the store was selling guinea pigs, which were kept in glass cages for ventilation, so the cat jumped into the cage and bit one of the guinea pigs to death.
The photos showed the cat attacking the guinea pig, with its two front paws gripping the guinea pig and trying to feed it to itself.
Cat Star: 'Wow, what is this? It's so delicious, so tempting!'
The store demanded a price of over 100 yuan, even though the owner thought it was exorbitant, but he had to pay to board the cat for many days to avoid bullying, so he could only pay the price.
The owner was also frustrated and shared the incident online. Some netizens commented: 'The responsibility doesn't lie with the owner; there's no need to pay compensation.' Others suggested, 'It's better to treat it as a bad omen.'

Pet Care Tips:When finding a boarding place for pets, you must pay close attention. First, you need to ensure the boarding pet store's environment is clean.

Third, you must sign some related contracts to protect your interests in case of conflict. When you receive your pet, you must check the pet's body for any injuries and ensure its mood is good before bringing it home.
