According to Metro.co.uk, CCTV allegedly shows the driver leaving a building in Paris while carrying the cat which belongs to the client.

The customer in question noticed the pet was missing shortly after the delivery on Tuesday night. The cat was apparently discovered ‘shaking in a corner' of the restaurant the following morning – but the delivery driver, who also manages the restaurant, claimed that he found the animal on the street.

A report by The Independent states that the customer, who is a trainee lawyer named Caroline Simon-Provo, said that the cat belonged to her building’s concierge, who noticed the cat was missing shortly after the delivery took place.

Ms Simon-Provo was quoted saying: “We also contacted Just Eat at 8 am but didn’t hear anything from them so we went to the restaurant at 10:30 and waited until someone arrived. When the employees arrived they called the boss, who it turns out was the one who did the delivery the night before. He said he found the cat in the street and took it because he had mice in his restaurant, but the video clearly shows him leaving the building with the cat.” 

Reports also state that a formal complaint has been lodged with police in Paris.
