Do you know what a "cat mom" is?
A "cat mom" literally refers to someone who takes care of stray cats. The term is commonly used because most of these caregivers are women, but men can also be cat moms. These individuals feed stray cats and sometimes take them to the vet when theyโre sick or injured, helping to ensure the cats donโt starve or get hurt. However, this activity isnโt always viewed positively. Today, Iโm going to talk about how cat moms have become a controversial issue in Korean society!

Problems caused by "cat mom" activities:
Trash issues: After feeding stray cats, leftover food is often left on the streets, which can lead to unpleasant smells or dirty surroundings. The food may also attract pigeons or crows, causing inconvenience to people in the area.
Increase in stray cats: When thereโs more food available, the number of stray cats increases, leading to a growing population. More cats can cause noise and potentially disrupt the daily lives of people in the neighborhood.
Conflicts with neighbors: Not everyone likes cats. Cat moms often donโt feed the cats near their own homes but go to other neighborhoods where stray cats live. When the local residents see them feeding the cats, it can sometimes lead to arguments.
Because of these reasons, opinions about cat mom activities are divided. While many people love cats, there are also those who oppose these activities.

Hereโs a recent incident involving a "cat mom" in Korea.
A convenience store owner in a neighborhood has been struggling because of the stray cats. In that area, there was a "cat mom" who regularly fed the cats, and she started leaving food near the newly opened convenience store. As a result, cats frequently gathered around the store. The owner repeatedly asked the cat mom to place the food somewhere else, but she completely ignored his requests. Instead, she even put up a sign warning that any interference with the cat food would result in legal action.

In the end, the store owner decided he couldn't take it anymore and planned his revenge. It turned out that the cat mom lived in a nearby house. The owner went to her house and started placing cat food around the area. He even filled it with fish heads and tuna cans, and put up the same sign, warning that any interference with the food would lead to legal action, just like she had done.

In the end, the furious cat mom went to the convenience store, angrily throwing cat food at the owner and confronting him. However, the owner stood his ground, refusing to remove the food. As the situation escalated, it became so serious that the police were eventually called to the scene.

People who heard about this story remarked, โItโs great to take care of cats, but you shouldnโt cause problems for others,โ and praised the store owner's revenge as satisfying. Many also commented, โThe issue lies in the selfish attitude of thinking itโs not okay in front of her own house, but fine in front of someone elseโs store.โ
On the other hand, itโs important to note that if someone is placing food for stray cats on land they donโt own, they should first get permission from the owner or manager of the location.
