This part cracks me up:

An officer later tracked down a "black cat with a white chest and white
paws," police said. "As (the officer) neared the cat it got onto its back
and raised all four paws up in the air."

Oooooo, scary! Very aggressive and dangerous.

The cat was wearing a pink collar and a tag imprinted with the name "Kelli"
and a telephone number. It was not clear if Kelli is the name of the cat or
its owner.

Whoever was confused by this is not an animal person! Who puts their own name
on a cat collar? (OK, maybe they would put their full name so you could look
them up in a phone book, but a first name isn't very helpful.) It's obviously
a girlkitty named Kelli.

I had my full name and phone number on Persia's tag, then Persia's name.
I'm pretty sure no one would have thought her name was Jill and mine
was Persia. I'm also sure they would know that wasn't Persia's personal
phone line. But hey, you can never really tell about some people.

Jill

Tinley Park Dog Owner Calls Cops -- On a Cat


The cat now can't get out of a shelter until there's proof it had a rabies
shot.

A small black-and-white pet cat so terrorized a Tinley Park resident and his
70-pound Labrador that the man called the cops, police said.
The man emerged from the cat attack on 71st Court unscathed "due to him
wearing pants," police said, but his dog wasn't so lucky. The Lab was left
cut and bloodied, the man reportedly told police, and had to be cleaned up
when he got back home.

An officer went to the man's house and checked the yellow Lab out but "could
not see any redness or wounds on the dog's face," police said.

The 33-year-old man told how he had been walking his dog on 71st when an
"unknown black cat" darted off a porch and "attacked both him and his
9-year-old male yellow Labrador," police said.

The cat weighs about 10 to 12 pounds, according to police.

A neighbor told police about a resident who "does own an aggressive black cat
that runs at large every day," but no one answered the door at her house. The
dog-owner claimed the "cat had been aggressive for a while," police said, but
conceded "this was the first time it made contact with him and his dog."

An officer later tracked down a "black cat with a white chest and white
paws," police said. "As (the officer) neared the cat it got onto its back and
raised all four paws up in the air."

This is racial profiling. The cat never had a chance.

Did the Lab get sent for therapy? It's going to need help overcoming
the shame.
