Today is National Cat Day—a day to celebrate the whiskered companions who curl up on our laps, knock things off our shelves, and somehow manage to rule our homes with a single look. Cats bring us comfort, laughter, and love.
But for many of us in the true crime community, the story of Don’t Fk With Cats is a chilling reminder of why protecting them—and all vulnerable beings—matters so deeply.
🔍 When the Internet Refused to Look Away
Back in 2010, a man uploaded disturbing videos of kittens being harmed. The internet could have ignored it. Instead, a group of everyday people—animal lovers, gamers, night owls—banded together.
They weren’t detectives, but they became digital sleuths, analyzing every frame:
a vacuum cleaner model
a blanket pattern
even the hum of background noise
Their mission? To stop him before he escalated.
And escalate he did. In 2012, Luka Magnotta murdered Jun Lin, a student in Montreal, and posted the crime online. What followed was an international manhunt that ended in Berlin, where Magnotta was caught in an internet café—ironically reading about himself.
❓ The Questions That Still Haunt Us
Netflix’s Don’t Fk With Cats doesn’t just tell the story of a killer. It forces us to ask hard questions:
When does online sleuthing become an obsession?
Did the internet help bring justice, or did it feed his hunger for attention?
And most importantly, how do we honor the victims—both human and animal—without sensationalizing the crime?
🐱 What National Cat Day Reminds Us
