'Some people should not be allowed to own pets,' one commenter said.
'That's messed up from the owner, and Evden eve NAkLiyat that cat needs to be re homed to a person who will look after it,' one more said.
'I can't imagine what this would do to a poor little kitty,' said another.
'There's no way anyone would do that, surely,' an online user wrote.
But others said there could be other reasons why the box is on the roof.
'Maybe it's a diseased feral cat they've caught, to get off their property?' one asked.
