Maybe They Should Drown the Cats?

Residents of Second Place have been "terrorized" lately by roving packs of wild cats. At least, according to the Brooklyn Paper:

"A rogue band of cats is on the prowl on Second Place, stalking exotic fish, threatening pet pigeons — and raising the blood pressure of the animal lover who owns the veritable menagerie.

“It’s very frustrating — I’m always worried about them attacking my fish and birds,” said Sal “The Birdman” Raimondi, the proud owner of 10 shimmering Japanese koi swimming in a $25,000 display in his front garden, and over 100 plump Canadian pigeons that he raises in custom-crafted coops in his backyard.

The problem has gotten worse over the past few months, when cats began to perch themselves beside Raimondi’s koi pond, licking their chops at the chance to get at a seafood dinner.

“They’re staring at our fish pond like they want to get them,” said Nancy Lograsso, Sal’s girlfriend.

And there’s reason to worry. Neighborhood cats have a history of violence: about five years ago, cats killed 12 of Raimondi’s pigeons."

If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that we need to bring back pigeon coops. Take it away, keyboard cat...
