COLUMBUS, Ohio ( WCMH ) – An Ohio State University student is seeking justice and answers after her boyfriend’s roommate was caught on camera putting the couple’s cat into a plastic bag as it cried and then leaving their home.
Anis Mohd Zaini, a 23-year-old OSU student, and her boyfriend are the owners of a 7-month-old cat named Mindy. The feline primarily lived with Mohd Zaini’s boyfriend, at his residence in Old North Columbus, which he shared with a few roommates who are also OSU students.

“[Mindy] means a lot to me,” Mohd Zaini said. “I love her like my own child. We adopted her [when] she was little, so we have taken care of her since she’s a baby.”
On Sept. 27, around 11:30 p.m., Mohd Zaini said the couple became concerned when they could not find their pet. Mindy wore a collar with a tracker, so the pair was able to pinpoint its location about half a mile north of the house.
“We checked her collar and the collar shows that she’s somewhere very far away from our home,” Mohd Zaini said. “So we get out of our house and try to find her in that area and then during that time, we did find her collar in [a] trash can.”
