It is morally wrong to steal something from someone, and we are sure that nobody supports the act of theft. However, Reddit is rallying around a woman who admitted that she accidentally stole someone's cat because she thought it was a stray with no home. But even when she discovered the truth, she refused to return it to its original owner. This sounds awful, but after reading her post, you will understand why she did that and why Reddit users supported her. Scroll down to know the details!

Posting anonymously on the popular subreddit “Am I The A—hole, the woman aitacatissuw explained she had begun feeding a cat who started showing up in her garden six months ago. The cat loves her, and even lets her pet him. The woman also loves him and has formed a strong relationship with him.

The woman thought that the cat was a stray because he wasn't neutered or chipped. He was "riddled with fleas" and had numerous other health problems. He had two ingrown claws, a tooth infection, and something wrong with his eyes. He wasn't fixed and had worms. Therefore, she took him to the vet, where he got the medical treatment he needed.

After coming to the conclusion that the cat was a stray, she decided to adopt him. Sadly, her sister told her that the cat had an owner. "Anyway, my sister sent me a Facebook post with a photo of him, from a woman saying her mother's cat had gone missing. She gave contact information, to call her and say if anyone knew anything."

But even though the woman knew the cat was not a stray, she refused to return him to his owner - even after the owner showed up at her house and demanded the cat.

Redditors seemed to agree with the woman and praised her for her act of kindness. It wasn't the best idea to adopt a cat that wasn't hers, but her act of kindness can save the cat's life.
