Speaking of ocelots, many people’s first reaction is that they are expensive. This is true, because ocelots are so expensive that only rich people can afford them. In the cat-raising circle, it is really rare that people have raised ocelots. And if I said that someone found a stray cat, it turned out to be an ocelot, would you believe it? And in a certain university in China, something like this really happened. It all started at the end of last year, when a college student discovered a stray cat in the school cafeteria.
The cat was very thin at that time. It must have not had a full meal for a long time, so the college student bought some food and fed it to the cat. As the student got closer, he discovered that the stray cat's hair pattern was very special. Although he was not sure, judging from the pictures found on the Internet, this stray cat looked particularly like an ocelot. Because pets are not allowed on campus, he couldn't bring the cat back to his dormitory, so he contacted a local animal rescue organization to come help.
After the staff heard about it at the time, they didn’t believe that there was an ocelot wandering around. Such a thing had never happened before. But when the staff arrived at the scene, they were surprised to find that it was really a Bengal cat! And it looks to be in very good condition, worth at least four figures. But judging from its skinny body, it must have been wandering for a while. It also suffers from skin diseases. I don’t know if this is the reason why it wanders.
Later, the aunt in the cafeteria heard that the cat was very expensive, so she told the origin of the cat. It turns out that this cat appeared near the canteen a month ago. It often went to the canteen to rummage for food. The aunt was very kind and occasionally fed it. However, the cat has become thinner and thinner recently, and it seems that it must be sick. Her colleagues said that the first time they saw this cat was near the villa area next to the school, so its owner should be someone who lives in the villa area.
The staff then used cat strips to lure the cat, allowed them to get close and pet it, and successfully gained its trust, and finally successfully captured it into the cage. The cat was later taken to the hospital for examination, and the results showed that it was suffering from severe malnutrition and skin disease. There were no other problems for the time being, and it needed to be observed for a period of time during follow-up treatment. The staff speculated that the ocelot was most likely lost on its own rather than abandoned. However, it is also very confusing why the cat is still a valuable ocelot even after being lost for a month. The owner has never come to the school to look for it. Next, the staff will focus on going to the villa area to find its owner and see if there are any clues.
In fact, if a cat gets lost from home, it is simply because the windows and balconies of the home are not sealed, or the windows and doors are opened without paying attention, and the cat sneaks out, and then it cannot find its way home. Leopard cats are generally relatively expensive, and their intestines and stomachs are very fragile, so they can only eat fixed foods. After it wandered around, it could only pick up garbage to eat, and its stomach naturally couldn't bear it. Although it ate, it still became thinner and thinner. So no matter what breed of cat you have, you must be responsible for it and seal windows and balconies when necessary to avoid the risk of getting lost. Because once a domestic cat strays, without anyone to rescue it, it really has only one way to die.
