catnapping

Just saw this on the news about possible catnapping.

Read of a couple of cases within the last years where people tried that with
dogs, even a bird (large parrot of some sort), who were caught and convicted
of extortion!

I wouldn't be so sure the people who called really have their cat.
Maybe the saw the signs and they're trying to get money from them,
without actually having the cat.

Or maybe it's just some sicko playing a prank.

It just made me suspicious.

It's interesting that the police are getting involved in this. When
Smudge was trapped for a week in my neighbor's garage, the police wouldn't
do anything. The cop I spoke to even patronized me by saying, "I know
you think of your cat as your baby, but we can't just go breaking in
to someone's property..." Yet I'm sure if it really *was* a baby, they
wouldn't have hesitated to do so.

I suspect the police look upon it as an attempt to extort
money from the cat's owners, which is definitely illegal!
