THIS IS WAR!!!!!

[Red Badger]

So glad they have solved all the city's other problems... 😸

[Zack Attack]

A city council with a lot on their mind there.

[smokingfrog]

Just wait...

[Ann Archy]

The LAST thing I want when I go anyplace public is a strange cat jumping on me....or rubbing my leg... ICK!

[Moonman62]

This won’t end well for the city council.

[Laser_Ray]

Library should hand out the phone #’s and addresses of every assmaggot who voted for this and tell every kid who comes in that the mean people are taking their kitty away.

Seriously, how f*cking petty is this? Not to mention a waste of taxpayer time and money.

[Ann Archy]

It’s in WHITE SETTLEMENT, Texas!!! THAT won’t end well....Obama will be sending in Somalis and Syrians by the truckloads!!

[JimSEA]

A small minded, mean city council.

[Bullish]

What did the moggie do to them?

[sharkhawk]

I love cats, have two tuxedos myself, but I could see why they would do this. There are a lot of people who are allergic to cats.

[who knows what evil?]

Elzie Clements, eh? Why is it that so many female politicians, from local to federal; are such heartless assh*les?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

If I didn’t already have three moggies I’d take him in a heartbeat. I have a real soft spot for tabbies. He’s a beauty.

[Snickering Hound]

[who knows what evil?]

Allergic? That doesn’t seem to be the REAL problem, as the cat has been there six years.

[who knows what evil?]

A small minded, mean city council.

There were a few of them in soviet Red Hampshire. I moved.

[BlackAdderess]

What the heck has whether some city worker can bring a puppy to work with them, or not, have to do with kicking out a fully grown library cat?

What a stupid, petty move. The city will now spend thousands fending off irate citizens and petitioners. The council members will be confronted at meetings and have their mail and phones tied up ... over a petty slap back for some other action.
