🚨 CAT STOLEN FROM DOORSTEP DIED TRYING TO FIND HER WAY HOME
A heartbroken family has spoken out after their 16-year-old pet cat died attempting to find her way home after allegedly being taken from outside their house and abandoned more than half a mile away.
Shocking doorbell footage captured the moment a man and woman lured elderly tabby Lola away from her home close to Market Street in Bury before carrying her from the area.
Three days later, owner Naseem Aktar, 51, received a call to say Lola had been found beneath a car outside St Luke's C of E Primary School.
The cat was rushed to a veterinary practice, but vets told the family she had died from dehydration during the hot weather.
The family believe Lola was taken to an address on Surrey Drive, more than half a mile from her home, before being released and left to make her own way back.
For a cat who spent almost all of her life indoors and was frightened of traffic, the journey proved fatal.
"Lola was like a child to us - she was a member of the family," said Naseem.
"She was a non-vocal cat, so she couldn't make noises, but it breaks my heart as you can see her struggling to get away in the videos."
Naseem said Lola rarely ventured beyond the family's garden or a neighbouring boundary wall and would have had no idea how to navigate the busy roads separating her from home.
"We don't know how someone could be capable of doing something like this," she said.
"Lola would have had no idea where she was. Market Street is a busy main road and she was scared of cars, so she would never have crossed it."
The family say their grief has been compounded by the response from Greater Manchester Police.
Naseem believes offences under theft and animal welfare legislation should have been considered, but says she was informed that no charges would be brought against the couple seen in the footage.
"It disgusts me that the police aren't taking action," she said. "This couple are responsible for Lola's death, yet they don't seem to care."
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said: "All lines of enquiry were exhausted and the crime has been closed due to insufficient evidence.
"The person that reported this will have also been given this update via officers who attended."
Lola was later buried in the family's back garden, surrounded by roses.

A brand new Pi Network ecosystem app just dropped, and it looks… AMAZING.
@GalaxyPiApp has just announced the launch of its brand new $PI ecosystem platform. Currently in beta version, the platform already offers its flagship ‘Galaxy’ game, alongside several mini apps, including minigames, a discussion forum, and even a @PiCoreTeam news feed.
The ‘Galaxy’ game allows users to build their own colonies in the Pi Galaxy, constructing buildings, armies, fleets and more, and allowing users to raid other players’ bases for resources.
The game operates on a ‘Faction’ system, where users can create their own unique faction, and even invite their friends to help their faction climb the leaderboards. At the heart of the game is ‘GPi’ - a vital resource needed for funding structures and fleets in-game.
Analysts and community members are already expecting the new application to dominate the Pi ecosystem.

One of the purposes of the Pi Launchpad test token launches is to introduce Pioneers to new ecosystem token mechanics and educate the community on how to participate with DeFi mechanisms.
The first test token provided useful data and highlighted areas where the Launchpad experience needed improvement.
The updated participation flow is simpler and clearer. Participation is now centered around the commitment amount, which has the direct effect on token acquisition. A Pioneer chooses how much Test-Pi they want to commit, and the Launchpad automatically calculates the related “fair-access hold,” and then shows the commitment amount, hold amount, and total together before confirmation.
The goal is to make it easier to understand and use the Pi Launchpad, and preserve the intended fair-access effect of the hold.
Learn more and test the second SLICE token on Testnet today! The SLICE test token launch will be open for participation until Pi2Day, June 28, 2026.

In the Premier League, a club can submit a maximum of 25 senior players for the official squad registration (the “25-man squad list”).
But the question many are asking is, why 25? Because 25 in this case is exactly the same number of days since Arsenal won the league title.
