I remember I wanted to buy a cat so much due to their ability to connect with humans emotionally through their playful behavior, which was necessary for me because of my previous mental state. Then I searched online shops to buy a cat and I found one. A Scottish Fold. Its breed was Scottish Fold. So without hesitation, I quickly bought it. After my purchase, a few days passed, then the cat started to threaten me by trying to scratch me with its claws and making some weird noises. I decided to take it for a diagnosis, and a rabies infection, which causes over-aggression, was found. I complained to the seller a lot, but he kept denying that the cat was infected. However, after countering his arguments with the medical diagnosis, he ultimately decided to take the cat back and return my money. It was a frustrating situation because I wasn't even aware of the cat's medical condition.
