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.

Danny opened the car, put the kitten in an old sweater, and quickly drove off before any of the locals tried to stop him. He didn't understand why there was such a fuss for the kitten. All he thought about was to give the poor creature some food and drink and then take him to an animal shelter.

Danny started driving without having a clue where he was going to end up. He was just in search of a bigger city where they have pet stores or at least sell cat food suitable for kittens. There was a little bit of a rush, as he noticed the kitten was really hungry and was running out of energy...

During this whole ordeal, Danny had fallen completely head over heels in love with this little creature. He had already forgotten about the yelling and all the unclear warnings of the locals had been put to the back of his mind. He felt like it was his mission to give this beautiful creature another shot in life

Firstly, he wanted to drop the kitten off at a local shelter when he made his way back to his home in the United States. But as there were quite bad conditions in this part of Mexico, he had no idea what the quality of life that those would be able to offer was. Should he just keep it with him? 

Besides the seemingly bad conditions, he knew deep in his head that he couldn't say goodbye to the kitten even if he wanted to. He started to grow a bond with it already and the only logical solution seemed to take it home with him. After the kitten had eaten and drank something, he seemed to revive a bit. 

It was about a day of continuous driving to get back home to Houston Texas. The kitten, that starting to be very curious, was just exploring every nook and cranny of Danny's car on the way. Because he had nothing with him to put the kitten in, he decided he was not making an effort to hide the animal. He was going to cross the border soon...

When Danny passed the checkpoint at the border, he immediately got some questions about the kitten. He told them that he was traveling the world with his cat and that there wasn't really more to tell about. The border guards whispered a few sentences to each other, but Danny got permission to keep on driving quite fast. 

As usual, it was really busy at the border. Danny thought they didn't want to spill too much time arguing about why he would bring a kitten back to the States, as there were probably many other things that required attention. 

Danny felt relieved that he was allowed to continue on his journey to bring his furry friend to what he expected to be her forever home. He always dreamt of having a pet cat, so this situation felt like his dream actually came true. However, after a while, it turned out that this wouldn't be the case... 

Danny has a heart of gold, which is further evidenced by the fact that he brings home a stray kitten from the streets of Mexico. He wasn't stupid either, as he did realize that a stray kitten could also carry numerous diseases. So he decided to make an appointment with the vet when he got home.

Fortunately, Danny was able to go straight to the vet the next day. He was the first appointment of the day, so he had to get up early. Even though he was up early, he was still almost late because of the kitten that didn't let himself get caught.

As the kitten kept running from him, Danny figured out in the meantime that he should give her a name. He decided that he was going to call her Missy from now on. 

Missy, was way too curious for her own good it seemed, as Danny constantly lost track of her. She was small enough to get into anywhere she wanted and did so wholeheartedly.
