Mónica Vicéns couldn’t say no to fostering three small kittens that had been abandoned in her backyard by a friend. She immediately fell in love with the tiniest of the group, a white and brown tabby, and realized she couldn’t bear to let her go.
Vicéns told The Dodo, “China was the lone female and the runt of the three.” “I already had a 4-month-old male cat from the same yard named Waffles, and I had fallen in love with China, so I chose to keep her.”
Vicéns moved to a property with a spacious backyard a few months later, and the skinny kitten developed into a formidable huntress.
Vicéns explained, “It came to the point where we had to keep all the doors and windows shut to make sure she couldn’t escape out since she always crept in with some living thing in her jaws.” “Every morning, she would wake up as if it were her duty to go out and provide for the family.”
Vicéns did not enjoy all the insects China gave her every day, and she made it known to her cats by refusing to let them out. However, China was still determined to give something to her mother, so she focused her attention on the inside of the house.
Outside her door, Vicéns began to see piles of socks of her roommate. VAicéns stated, “We gently looked around the corner and noticed him throwing his sock near my door.” “It was the funniest thing we’ve ever seen!”
China eventually went out again, but this time she brought things as gifts instead of living ones, to relieve her mother.
China brought him cigarettes and a match, which he left outside the front door. Vicéns had no idea where the goods came from and believed they belonged to her roommate.
Vicéns explained, “A few days later, other items started coming in, and that was when I put everything together.” “She had been in my neighbor’s yard for weeks and did not stop. I will soon return all things to my neighbor.
Vicéns discovered that China had a set pattern when she left the house: “She’ll swiftly go to her favorite spot of dirt to roll about in it, then she’ll be off to burglarize the streets,” Vicéns added. “She’ll return with something, leave it at my door, and wait there yelling for me.”
Nobody appeared to believe Vicéns when she informed her friends about the cat burglaries in China. So she put up a camera outside the door and recorded herself doing it, then shared the footage on Instagram and TikTok. Vicéns was still concerned that China’s theft would enrage her neighbors.
Vicéns explained, “I couldn’t keep lying for her, so I came clean.” “I left a suitcase with their belongings and a letter describing what was going on for the neighborhood.”
Fortunately, the neighbors were unconcerned about China breaking into their home.
China might be a challenge, but Vicéns wouldn’t swap her for anything. Vicéns stated, “[She] loves to play about in mud, hunt, steal, knock stuff off tables, and irritate me as much as she can, and I love her to death.” “Every day, she makes me laugh.”
