Dailey Bailey: A Woman Stole a Kitten and Demanded Money, or “Something Bad” Would Happen to It

If you want to become Public Enemy Number One on the Internet, there’s no faster route than this.

22-year-old Madeleine Kaye of Gainesville, Florida allegedly stole a woman’s kitten last week!! That’s bad enough . . . you do not mess with people’s pets in America.

But then she sent a bunch of texts saying she wanted $20 to return it . . . or, quote, “something bad” would happen to the kitten. Yes, she ransomed someone’s kitten.

So the woman called the cops. But when they went to Madeleine’s place, she said she hadn’t really stolen the kitten, and the texts were just a joke.

But they arrested her for extortion anyway. There’s no word on whether the kitten was found.
