He's Been Told Not To Touch This Cat, But Didn't Listen - Days Later A Cop Knocked On His Door

When Danny Boulder from Houston, Texas went on a solo trip to Mexico he found a stray kitten in bad shape. Against advice from the locals, he took it with him to the US with the attention of nursing it back to health. But when a couple days later two police officers showed up at his door, it was quickly made clear to Danny that he had made a big mistake in doing so.

He should have just left the kitten where he found it…

One day, Danny was startled by a loud banging on his front door. When he looked out the window, he saw that there were two police officers knocking on his door. Well, it wasn't really 'knocking' actually, as it was so loud that he thought they were smashing it in.  Danny felt his heart drop. What did they want from him? 

The moment he opened up the door, the officers stepped into his house. Danny tried to stop them and demanded an explanation but all they kept asking him was “Where is it?! Where is the cat?!”

Danny could not believe this was actually about the stray kitten he found while he was on vacation…

But when one of the officers finally elaborated why they were looking for the cat, it all made sense to Danny. There was no way he could keep this animal…

But what was wrong with this kitten? Should Danny have just left it behind when he found it? And why did the police have to get involved?

The moment Danny noticed the stray kitten, he immediately felt like he couldn't leave the poor creature behind. It kept meowing and purring, he felt his heart melt. But he was apparently the only one around who felt that way, as not a single passerby gave it any form of attention. 

Danny was on a solo vacation trip in Mexico at that time and was visiting a small village when he saw the kitten for the first time. It was covered in dirt from living on the streets, and obviously very weak. It seemed that the kitten was an orphan, as it didn't look like his mother was nearby. 

The kitten kept following him for a while. When he walked towards a slightly busier street, he noticed it asked for more attention. His first thought was to take the kitten and bring it to a shelter. He went to approach the animal, but Danny was stopped in his tracks by shouts in Spanish from the locals. What were they saying?

As Danny stood still now and with the small kitten slowly approaching him, locals kept yelling to him not to pick up or touch the creature. At first, Danny wanted to ask why he shouldn't, but his Spanish wasn't good enough to ask it - let alone that he was able to understand the answer. 

With the kitten now clambering onto his boot, Danny decided for himself that these locals were probably just messing with him, as they all loved to fool with the foreigners visiting their village. But then he thought that they might want to keep the kitten for themselves to use it as food for the livestock...

He quickly, but carefully, picked up the animal and started making his way back to his car amid loud screams from the local residents. He could hear a diverse reaction from them, but couldn't really figure out what they were trying to say. Danny was able to understand that there were emotions ranging from angry to indifferent.
