Welcome to the future, where satirical news program hosts and despotic rulers fight on social media over a lost cat.

Say hello to Ramzan Kadryov. He's currently notable for two things: 1) he's what some describe as the despotic leader of Chechnya, a region in Russia, and 2) he has lost his cat.

We have completely lost our cat. He looked like a little tiger cub. Visitors have always said that he is very, very similar to a tiger cub. Ten days ago, he disappeared.

We all thought that he would reappear, since he is very attached to the children and loves to play with them and go out with them in the yard. But now we have begun to seriously worry.

Perhaps he is with someone nearby. That person may not know how to find the owners. I am sure that no one needs someone else's cat. Therefore, we would be grateful for any information.

Thanks in advance.

The man is famous for three things: Carrying out the will of Russian President Vladimir Putin, ruling Chechnya with an iron fist, and Instagram, where he has 1.8 million followers.

But Kadryov need not fear too much about his lost cat! For one Mr. John Oliver, host of HBO's Last Week Tonight is on the case, calling on his viewers to aid in the hunt for the tyrant's tiny tabby.

And it's important that the cat be found because, as Oliver notes, when Kadryov loses things, he tends to also lose his shit. Like that time he lost his phone and allegedly questioned hundreds of Chechens over it.
