A cat in Thailand was “arrested” and had a mugshot taken after repeatedly attacking police officers following its rescue and subsequent arrival at a police station, amusing countless netizens across the internet.

On May 9, a Bangkok police officer known online as Da Parinda Pakeesuk shared the tale of an unusual “offender” - a lost American Shorthair cat brought in by a citizen.

Officer Pakeesuk warmly welcomed the feline into the station and took care of it.


Clad in a cute pink harness, the spirited little cat scratched and bit several on-duty officers, revealing her feisty personality.

“This cat has been charged with assaulting police officers and is about to be detained. Please share this post so her owner can come and bail her out,” Pakeesuk wrote in a lighthearted post.

Later that evening, he took the cat home for the night and posted an endearing photo of her perched in his car.

One observer humorously noted: “That cat looks like she is frowning. She does not seem too grateful for her rescue.”

“Hey kitty, without this officer, you would be homeless right now!” another online user quipped.

Pakeesuk mentioned that he had already prepared a cosy set-up of food, litter, and toys for his unexpected guest.

“She is living her best life, while the police are the true victims,” Pakeesuk joked playfully.

Dozens of eager netizens expressed interest in adopting the cat, but Pakeesuk emphasised that the priority was finding her rightful owner.

“If you truly love cats, feel free to adopt one of the many strays at my home, or from a local shelter,” he suggested.

A passionate animal-lover, Pakeesuk has reportedly rescued 20 stray cats and six dogs over time.

A day later, the owner reached out to the police station.

According to the Thai media outlet Khaosod English, the cat is named Nub Tang, which translates to “counting money”.

In a celebration of her return, the owner adorned her with a delicate lace collar at the police station.

Pakeesuk then humorously drafted a playful police report in the cat’s persona, stating: “I was just hungry. I did not mean to bite anyone.”

Nub Tang “signed” the report with two adorable paw prints and even posed for a mugshot.

Pakeesuk issued her a verbal warning, advising her to behave, and then happily relinquished her to her owner.

No fines were imposed, he noted, but he expressed hope that Nub Tang had learned an important lesson.

“This case must be handled properly. We cannot have other cats thinking that biting people is acceptable,” Pakeesuk added with a smile.

The story quickly went viral on social media platforms.

“This is the cutest ‘crime’ I have ever seen,” one user commented.

Another chimed in: “This officer is both kind and humorous.”

“I showed this case to my two cats. Hopefully, they will take it as a warning not to scratch my sofa or chew my computer cables,” joked a third user.
