In brief
Natasha Lavoie from British Columbia has been overwhelmed by phone calls from various people claiming to have found a missing cat named Torbo. The twist? Lavoie’s cat, Mauser, is safe at home and the calls were the result of her number being printed on a T-shirt promoting a fictitious lost cat.
In 2024, Lavoie started receiving calls about the fictional feline. Confused yet curious, she eventually discovered that these inquiries stemmed from a joke a father played on his son after purchasing the misleading shirt online. Over time, Lavoie’s phone would ring incessantly, often at odd hours, leaving her to wonder if she had inadvertently angered someone. After some investigation, she reached out to the T-shirt company, Wisdumb, seeking answers regarding the unintended distribution of her number.
