An Indiana creep-of-police (chief) has evicted a cat that has lived in the town police station for years. From WLKY (KY):
BROOKLYN, Ind. -- A cat named Cat has been evicted from the town's police department.Some people might be allergic to the cat and others might not want to have a cat around when they visit the police department, town Marshal Don Pearson said.
Pearson's predecessor, Terry Carlyle, said he brought Cat into the police department in the town about 15 miles southwest of Indianapolis when he took the marshal's job about five years ago.
Cat had the run of the police office, greeted people when they came in, kept mice out of the building and served as the department's mascot, he said.
Carlyle, who is now a deputy marshal, said he already has two large dogs at his house and he could not take Cat home.
Carlyle said taking Cat to the Morgan County Humane Society Animal Shelter in Martinsville for adoption was one of the hardest things he's ever done.
"It broke my heart," Carlyle said.
Hi, Jeff-- You have cursed this obnoxious man so well that I can simply echo yours! I want to tell you that since I have lost all of my animal friends this past year and am painfully aware that I am too old and crippled to take proper care of any more, I am finding this blog of yours a great comfort. Thanks so much for doing it!
