Summary of article:
A cat-running debtor in Hangzhou was ordered by a court to auction off 12 kittens he owned after he refused to repay more than 20,000 yuan. Earlier, 15 of her other kittens were also auctioned, sparking heated discussions among netizens.
Alibaba’s judicial auction platform recently put a new batch of kittens on the shelves. The auction page revealed that the cat’s owner owed more than 20,000 yuan (RMB, similar below) and refused to repay, and 12 cats under his name were “put up” for auction to help the owner repay the debt. Because of the adorable appearance of the kittens at the auction, a large number of netizens paid attention and criticized the owner for “letting 12 cats incur a debt of 20,000 yuan”. Paradoxically, this debtor who ran the cattery had previously failed to repay the debt due to his case, resulting in the seizure of all 15 of the cattery’s kittens. This raised questions from netizens, “I have money to raise cats, but no money to pay off the loan.” The man involved suspected he was selling cats in disguise to make money: “It turns out that fostering cats can also help me make a comeback.”
According to the Yangtze Evening News, the 12 kittens auctioned include Ragdolls, Golden Grain Layers and other varieties. They are all about 3 months old and cute looking. An Alibaba Assets staff member said the auction involved a contract dispute case in which the person subject to execution, Liu, ran his own cattery, bred and raised cats himself, and promoted them on public platforms such as Xiahongshu. Therefore, the court determined that the 12 kittens, the subject of the auction, were “commercial property” of the person subject to execution.
In October this year, Liu was ordered by the Hangzhou Shangcheng Court to auction off and sell her 12 surviving kittens because she owed 20,000 yuan to the plaintiff, who won the case and failed to pay after the court issued an execution notice. It is understood that Liu’s incomplete payment also includes interest and other expenses of more than 20,000 yuan.
The court will hold a separate auction of 12 kittens, with the starting price of each kitten set at 2,100 yuan. Since the health status, sterilization and vaccination status of these kittens are unknown, the court reminded bidders to visit the site to see the samples and confirm on-site to avoid unnecessary delivery disputes.
In fact, more than a month ago, Hangzhou Shangcheng Court had auctioned off 15 kittens, also from Liu’s cattery, the staff member said. The starting price was the same as this auction, and that auction arose from another contract dispute case involving Liu, and the execution amount was 44,199 yuan. At that time, all 15 kittens were successfully auctioned, and 10 of them were sold above the starting price. The highest price was for an 8-month-old blue and gold kitten. After 7 rounds of bidding, it was finally sold at a price of 3,900 yuan. The most intense “competition” was another 5-month-old blue and gold kitten. After 13 rounds of “confrontation” between three bidders, one of them won at a price of 3,300 yuan.
The auction of 12 kittens began at 10 am on November 9. As of the 2nd, 1 buyer for 1 Ragdoll cat and 1 Golden gradient cat had officially signed up.
Netizens have their own opinions and suspicions about this kitten foreclosure incident: “It takes 12 cats to take out a debt of 20,000 yuan”, “If it is 2100, 20,000 yuan is not much, it can be paid back immediately”, “Poor cat”, “Maybe this is the beginning of happiness”, “If you have money” Raising so many cats, I have There is no money to pay 20,000 yuan”, “Breeding in the backyard, do you really think he is breeding cats himself”, “Cats are just a way to make money”, “It turns out that breeding cats can help me make a comeback”, “This is a hidden form of selling cats, and you don’t have to pay sales commission.”
