What kind of jerks would just steal a cat?

I'm guessing they thought they were rescuing the cat, then got scared when things blew up.

But yeah this was really stupid / assholish at the end of the day

Still. It's great that everything worked out in the end!

Okay now I want to remake those awful anti-piracy trailers movies used to have some 20 years ago, but with cats.

Spider-Man?

I would be significantly more likely to watch the Spider Man movies if he just went around rescuing cats.

In the Spider-Man Miles Morales video game, someone steals a cat named Spider-Man from a bodega.

You have to rescue the cat to finish the mission.
