Django the cat, from Chico, California, has been advertised on Craigslist (Picture: Craigslist)

A man has advertised a random cat on Craiglist in an attempt to find its owner – after ‘accidentally stealing it while extremely intoxicated’.

The unnamed drunkard, whose post appears under the title ‘Possibly stole someone’s cat when I was drunk last night (Chico)’, describes the animal as ‘a very frisky black cat [with] very sleepy eyes’.

The California-based poster says he thought the animal was a stray as he walked home from a night out drinking, and only discovered the cat’s collar as he stumbled around for a glass of water the morning after.

‘If anyone is missing a cat name Django (pronounced Jango the D is silent) I stole him last night. Not on purpose, I was extremely intoxicated and thought he was just some random stray I was rescuing,’ the post reads.




‘It was not until this morning when I was haphazardly going for a glass of water that I remembered I took the cat and noticed that he a collar.’

It added: ‘If Django belongs to you I would like to give him back… And sorry for stealing him.’

Never fear though, he’s being well looked after it seems – the man is feeding him. Cheese.

No, we don’t know why either.

By way of a disclaimer, Metro does not condone the stealing of cats – but at least this guy’s doing his level best to give him back.
