Maybe the cat just ran away when the robbers came in. Ya never know, maybe it'll return in a few days..

Maybe it will even find it's way back to the previous house, I've heard of a lot of cats doing that.

Sucks for them they just saved you a whole bunch of money on cat food and other things you should be happy OP!! :)

19 - even if that was meant to be sarcastic it was a very low class statement. I'm guessing you've never had a pet or something you've cared about...

I think stealing a girlfriend in that same manner would be considered kidnapping

In this case, the criminal is just a cat burglar.

I'm sure the cat just ran away. It's really hard to catch a cat - I doubt a robber could have done it.

Unless the cat was friendly.

Unnoticed at that.. Kitty shall come back

I agree with you on thinking it is still in the neighbourhood. If someone breaks into your house it is very possible for a pet to get scared and run away. Or the robbers can just be assholes.

Quick definitions from WordNet (rob) ▸ verb: take something away by force or without the consent of the owner

I believe #9 was trying to say the OP was robbed vs burglarized. Robbery means-- the victim must be present. That clears up those that think the cat ran off instead of being stolen as OP stated.

Or it could be OP used the term incorrectly. I've had my home broken into while I wasn't there and told people I was robbed.

Someone ever did that to my 16 year old cat, and I'd be opening a website dedicated to torturing them. Considering my extensive knowledge of human anatomy, I'm sure I could come up with some creative stuff. :'D Which is fucked up, I know. Anyways, I feel bad for the OP! :c I hope whoever stole the cat ends up getting the coldest karma possible.

I think 99% of humanity is more comfortable with human torture over animal torture. Kinda sad/scary when you think about it ain't it?

@18 amd that other 1% is the ones that feel like humans killing other humans (that do stupid shit like steal) is ok right?

I'd join you. I watch Forensic Files and study serial killers, so I'm sure I've learned a few things.

No #32, you have it backwards. The other 1% would be people who would rather see animals tortured than humans. Both of which are horrid and disgusting.
