Overview

• On May 9, a lost American Shorthair cat wearing a pink harness was brought to a Bangkok police station by a local citizen.
• The cat, later identified as Nub Tang, scratched and bit multiple officers, prompting Officer Da Parinda Pakeesuk to jokingly ‘charge’ her with assault and post about it on social media.
• Officer Pakeesuk took the cat home for the evening, providing food, toys, and a litter box, while sharing updates that drew widespread online amusement.
• The next day, Nub Tang’s owner reclaimed her at the station after a staged mugshot and a humorous pretend police report signed with paw prints.
• The lighthearted incident has since gone viral, highlighting Officer Pakeesuk’s history of animal rescue and creative community engagement.
