Devi Larsen from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada experienced something really strange recently. She has a cat named Loki that loves to be outside, one day Devi heard some ruckus outside. When she stepped out she found a clone of her cat and Loki starring at one another with hate in their eyes.

As Devi was trying to figure out what to do, chaos broke loose.

Devi shared a shortened version of the story to Bored Panda: “I heard them screaming at each other so I ran upstairs to find two of the same cat staring each other down. It was pure chaos as I had no idea which one was mine. Looking back I probably should have just sprayed water at them to stop it but it was in the moment and I did what I could! Once I figured out who was who is when it all went downhill. Also, I forgot when I finally managed to separate them I was putting fatness Loki in my house and he smacked my dog who was just trying to check if he was ok.”

Thankfully Loki was ok, as for the other cat, Devi couldn’t check on the other one since it ran away as quickly as it could.

Here is the full story that Devi posted on Reddit: “Today I messed up by leaving my cat outside. First off I’ll start with a background on my fat cat. He’s an ‘indoor’ cat but tries to get outside at every opportunity he can. I didn’t want him to be an outdoor cat, so we compromised and he’s an outdoor cat. In the past, I have left him on a long lead and an easy break collar but he has since figured out that he is fat enough to jump off something and it’ll easily break. I then moved to a harness, which he then realized that he just needs to back up out of it. Now I have that it on so tight that he can’t anymore (can still fit my fingers through it, worry not gentle souls).”

“Anyway, I figured I’d be nice and let him out for a bit while I was working downstairs. There I am on the phone with a customer who won’t stop asking questions and I begin to hear screams of pure death coming from my yard. I’m trying to get rid of my customer so I can get to my cat and figure out what unholy hell he got himself into. My customer keeps saying some random stuff that he should have said way earlier as it wasn’t even relevant anymore. So I’m like ‘yep, ok, yep’ trying to get rid of him and also nervous he can hear the horror show in the background.”

“Finally, I get off the line and race upstairs thinking my cat jumped the fence and was now dangling from the line (I always have it shorter than the distance to the fence but figured he found a way to frick me over once again).”

“I immediately see I was completely wrong and think I’m either tripping or there is another whale of a cat that looks identical to mine.

I snap a quick pic in case this cat gets away so I can post him online to try and find his owner’s.

They’re both so fat and puffing out like no tomorrow I can’t tell who’s who. I figured I might be able to tell them apart because my cat is wearing his leash right? Nope. He has once again somehow Houdini’d outta the harness so now I have two heathens growling at each other and I have no clue which one is mine.”

“I finally see the other cat has a black harness so I quickly grab that and go to hold my cat back. Before I can, he launches himself quicker than this jiggly beast has ever moved in his life. He full-on tackles this other cat and they slap together like PB and jelly.”

“I manage to separate them relatively easy and I pick my cat up and hold the other one harness so I can check him for wounds after I get mine inside. Big mistake. This cat launches himself up to my leg and scratches my hand. Meanwhile, my cat is also trying to demolish the other cat and also attacks me in the process.”

“I get my cat inside and the other blubbering beast is now trying to jump the fence. But he’s so fast that he jumps and is literally sliding down the fence in slow-mo like a cartoon character. I’m trying to catch him but he’s surprisingly fast for a Snorlax. I go back inside to grab treats to entice him but he’s gone and I only had a 15-minute break at work.”

“I wanted to check him out to make sure he was ok but didn’t have time to look for him anymore. I’ve left some food out for him to see if he’ll come back. I figure he might be traumatized but a guy his size needs to keep his calories up.”

“My hand is now swollen a little and hurts to move.”

A lot of people expressed concern about her hand and advised the owner to go see a doctor.

She later posted an update about her wound: “Just got back from doctors, got a tetanus shot and some antibiotics, thank you, everyone!”

Never interrupt a cat fight with your bare hands. Like ever. They are like velvet bags stuffed with razors. I walk my cat outside armed with a long feather duster. We look ridiculous.

So I notice this person has some relatively minor, low-risk injuries, and so: "Just got back from doctors, got a tetanus shot and some antibiotics". I'm thinking, 'This is not America if someone is taking a prudent but expensive step for a small injury and small risk like a cat scratch.' Sure enough I scrolled back up and saw she's from Canada and now I'm sad. You're $150-$200 out of pocket for that in the US, and that's if you can get into our currently overwhelmed clinics.

They didn't include the worse injury, I think because there was too much blood in the picture (not that bad either though). I only went because it started to swell and I couldn't move my finger. Canada's free healthcare definitely helps though!

I’ve had cats my whole life, and was in my thirties before I found out Cat Scratch Fever isn’t just a Ted Nugent song, but a real disease. And a nasty (fever and postules-yuck), potentially fatal, disease to boot—-though thankfully quite rare.

Not easy with a black cat either... there are at least two other black cats that resemble mine in the neighbourhood- there may be more but I wouldn't know as they all look similar. My black cat can get a bit scratchy/bitey too... her way of saying she's had enough cuddles (unlike my tuxedo cat who just gets up/jumps off when she's had her fill of me).

The cat cloned himself just so he could fight himself. The black harness was the aftermath, as he crafted the spell with his own harness on.

And this is why you keep your cat indoors anyway, cat fights can be serious business, and even with a breakaway leash or collar a cat could still get tangled up somewhere if left unattended. I realize some cats really think they need to be outside, but you just have to persist in keeping them away from the door, and make sure they have everything they need to be happy *inside*. This was a good story though, and the photos are great.

My friend got a cat that has some unique patterns of white and black and grey. Then one day she sees the cat outside and is rushing to get it when she passes her cat in the living room - there was a pretty much identical cat that lived in her neighborhood. Now the cat was a rescue, so maybe it was a brother/sister - but too crazy.

I don't understand cat owners who think letting their cats rambling around the neighborhood is totally fine. I have a bird and critter friendly backyard. My neighbors' cats have come to my backyard to hunt birds and chipmunks, they scares the bunnies too. I once rescued a young bird from a cat's mouth and brought it to a rehabber for treatment, since cat saliva is poisonous to birds. Dog owners don't let their dogs freely ramble around to kill other animals. Why do cat owners do that? I'm quite upset.

Antibiotics for a small cat scratch and a low risk patient... Yeah, I know this kind of doctors. Often the problem is that they are too insecure to stick to the guidlines and too afraid to say no to a patient. It's understandable, becasue the effects of not giving antibiotics in the wrong situation are more obvious than then prescribing them too often. But on the other hand, one might think that there had been just about enough campaigns to inform every doctor how to properly prescribe antibiotics. We are not in the 70s anymore.

Antibiotics being overused AGAIN. I’m so tired of this. The tetanus shot was absolutely necessary, but not the antibiotics unless she later on develops a [severe] bacterial infection.

My thoughts exactly. A doctor who prescribes a low risk patient antibiotics for a small cat scratch should get reprimanded. It might seem like a small thing, but that's the problem. A doctor who does that probably does it ten times a day.

Why on earth do people think it's ok to overfeed their animals? It's pute cruelty and animal abuse to let your cat get obese. The whole story is just sad, poor cat who has an owner who think it's funny the cat it's so fat it can't even jump a fence and the ridiculous it when it fail. Fy Fan.
