Where’s Cuff’s? The Philly Daily News reports on a station mascot gone missing:

Cuffs the cat – live-in mascot of the Philadelphia police mini-station on South Street near 9th – has been missing since Wednesday night.

“We had the door open because it was warm,” said Sgt. Paul Sprigg, “and Cuffs wandered right out in front of the station around 11 p.m. and sat on his favorite bench.

“He usually sits out there and lots of people come by and pet him,” Sprigg said.

“Wednesday night, one of the officers saw a white male on a red bicycle stop to pet Cuffs. A few minutes later, the male was seen riding off with the cat in his hands.”

Sprigg is a big cop with a friendly manner, but yesterday there was sadness beneath his smile.

“Cuffs is in the habit of getting out of his collar, so maybe the guy assumed Cuffs was a friendly stray,” Sprigg said. “That’s what we’re hoping.”

Ah c’mon. Give the officers their kitty back!

Randy Salas of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports on the Internet craze of cat pictures with funny captions. I still maintain that if cats could write, they’d spell correctly.
