Cat obsessed with Aldi sparks massive debate after cute video goes viral Wikimedia CommonsA cat has gone viral on Instagram for his love of Aldi, with their owner forced to put up \u201cNot missing signs.\u201d The Instagram video begins, \u201cEvery day at an Aldi\u2019s car park, Benji gets reported missing.\u201d To the chagrin of his owner, they announced, \u201cHe just keeps going to Aldi.\u201d This has resulted in them having to create laminated signs, with a photograph of Benji saying \u201cI\u2019m not lost.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve got my number on his tag,\u201d they start, \u201c(So) people will ring us 20 \u2013 30 times a day.\u201d This meant that the owner had to change Benji\u2019s tag to avoid the incessant calls. It now reads \u201cDo not feed me, I have allergies. If I am in Aldi, I am fine.\u201d The owner shared another fun fact about Benji \u2013 he uses the restroom just like a human being. Apparently, when the woman was potty training her son, the cat started copying the process. People debate \u2018Aldi cat\u2019 The video, which went viral on Instagram, unsurprisingly accumulated a whole bunch of comments. In fact, a rather large debate was instigated over the life of this now famous Aldi cat. One said \u201cHow about this. Don\u2019t let your cats wander outdoors, it\u2019s irresponsible.\u201d The most liked comment on the post thought otherwise, however, as they proclaimed: \u201cIt\u2019s crazy to think that so many people have issues with cats going outside. It\u2019s so weird to keep a cat inside unless you absolutely have to. They\u2019re outdoor animals.\u201d The indoor vs outdoor cat debate rages on, as some argue that cats should be free to roam, while others argue it is cruel both for the cats, who will have a shorter lifespan outdoors, as well as to wildlife that outdoor cats will target. Experts at International Cat Care explain, \u201cIn all cases, the decision should be made in relation to the individual cat and their own preferences, as well as the type of environment they will be exposed to if allowed to roam.\u201d Another took issue with Benji using the toilet, stating \u201cPlease don\u2019t encourage cats to do a number two in the loo, there are parasites and germs that our water system will not be able to remove, so they will go straight into the mains supply.\u201d Another tried to negotiate the debate surrounding the video, saying \u201cI really dislike social media sometimes. Cute cat video hijacked today by lectures about keeping cats inside, and bizarrely, tap water is now dangerous.\u201d One thing everyone can agree on is that Benji is one cute cat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
