A stray cat had plastic sticks stuck in its body; I thought it had been maliciously harmed, but when I pulled them out, I laughed and cried.

Most stray cats live a difficult life because they are not affectionate towards humans. Furthermore, some malicious people will harm them, doing things that hurt them. Such incidents are commonplace, and many people have likely seen cats that have been injured. However, sometimes, misunderstandings occur, like this man who thought a stray cat had been harmed when it hadn't.

The man owns cats and loves them, so he often feeds stray cats he encounters. Near his home lives a very friendly stray cat, an adorable orange tabby. However, for some reason, this orange tabby never seems to gain weight, probably because it's young.

The man often brings food with him when he goes out, and the cat will come out as soon as he calls it. Of course, besides the man, other kind people also bring food for the cat. Sometimes the cat can eat many meals a day, and the cat lives a very happy life in this place.

The man was quite pleased with the fact that people fed the stray cats, and remarked on how friendly the people in his neighborhood were. However, one day, he noticed a plastic stick stuck in the orange cat's body, which looked as if it had entered the cat's body.

Upon seeing this, the man wondered if someone had harmed the cat. Who would do such a cruel thing? It wasn't that he was deliberately being skeptical; it's just that there are so many people who hurt cats. The man called the cat over, and the cat nuzzled him affectionately. As the cat lay down, the man steeled himself and pulled the plastic stick out of the cat's mouth.

When the man tried to pull out the plastic stick, it seemed a bit stuck, as if it were glued on. Upon closer inspection, he discovered something both funny and frustrating. It turned out the cat hadn't been hurt at all. The plastic stick, which appeared to be on the cat, was actually just on the surface—it was a lollipop stuck to the cat. The man was both amused and annoyed. He wondered who had carelessly tossed away a leftover lollipop, causing it to stick to the cat and leading to the misunderstanding. However, as long as the cat wasn't harmed, that was the best outcome.

Please do not litter, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. In addition, some trash can also harm cats, such as soft-topped bottles or thread-like items, which can restrain cats.
