Time to Ride the Wave
So, besides the news about Gibran stepping down from his position as Vice President and that ridiculously expensive HokBen box belonging to a journalist getting stolen by someone else, it turns out there’s another story that’s just too good not to write about on my blog, which has been practically dead in terms of updates (sry…).
Parhan, the cat cared for by the security guards at Senci (Senayan City) and the people around there, has been taken by someone else, a weird woman with bad reputation.
Apparently, her plan is to take him to Australia…?
Wait, why is this going “VIRAL”?
Well, turns out this cat isn’t just some random pet belonging to the security guards. This cat is actually quite well-known among the people there and is considered a Community Cat.
He (Parhan is a male name) originally started out as a stray cat in the area, but eventually the security guards and the locals started taking care of him.
Then, out of nowhere, someone came up with the idea of adopting this cat. They even posted in the community asking for permission to take him.
And guess what? They actually went ahead and took him. Without even asking for permission to the security guards, who were the ones taking care of and feeding the cat.
Naturally, netizens split into two sides.
The first side supports this woman, arguing that the cat deserves a proper home. After all, he was allowed to roam freely, and he was originally a stray anyway.
The opposing side, however, wasn’t having any of it. They’re pissed off.
The cat already had people looking after him. He was already being cared for. So how could someone just come along and take him like that? And to make matters worse, this woman is asked permission from random netizens instead of the people actually taking care of him…
Another reason people aren’t happy about this is that the woman who came up with the adoption idea reportedly had a previous incident involving a Community Cat in Blok M. They allegedly neglected that cat, and the poor thing ended up dead.
A lot of people have been demanding that Parhan be returned to his rightful caretakers and his familiar surroundings.
But the woman still hasn’t returned him.
She claim that Parhan is sick (and even provided a doctor’s note), but the document looks like it might have been AI-generated. There are quite a few things that don’t add up.
So, naturally, netizens started gathering evidence as things began to get increasingly suspicious. People kept asking for updates on Parhan’s condition, only to get blocked instead.
Things got even more heated when the whole situation escalated into a legal matter. Over a cat, of all things.
A law firm has stepped in.
Even the Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov DKI) has gotten involved.
TV stations are covering the story too, despite all the headlines about Gibran stepping down from his Vice Presidential position being so hot right now.
Apparently, even a member of the House of Representatives (DPR) has joined the discussion…
Damn… XD
Anyway, here’s what happened.
Last week, everyone apparently agreed that Parhan would be returned to the Senci security guards. But as of 2 PM on November 12, 2026, there was still no news.
And there were already quite a lot of people gathering there. Journalists, cat lovers, animal welfare, curious onlookers, people riding the wave, and all sorts of others.
And now, apparently, Parhan is sick again. Or so she say.
Of course, people are getting suspicious, especially since this person is already being accused of producing a fake medical certificate. To make matters worse, even the clinic mentioned in the document denied ever examining Parhan, let alone issuing any medical note for the cat.
Anyway, as I’m finishing up this article, there still haven’t been any further updates about Parhan.
I’ll add more to this post once there’s some new information.
