Cats Being Trapped In Johnson City Neighborhood, Dropped In Vestal Cemetery Posted: Jul 18, 2017 2:39 PM CDT By Amy Hogan Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! JOHNSON CITY, N.Y. - Cat-owners in Johnson City have found out a neighbor is trapping wandering cats and transporting them to Vestal. Police have warned residents to keep their cats inside. Johnson City Police Chief Brent Dodge says a growing population of strays on Burbank Ave led to one neighbor taking matters into his own hands. "There's a person in the neighborhood who's been live trapping what appear to be stray cats," says Dodge. The trapped cats are being dumped in the Vestal Hills Cemetery on Old Vestal Rd. Dodge has called this irresponsible, but not illegal. "We wouldn't be able to substantiate any kind of criminal charges from something like this," says Dodge. Cats wandering the neighborhood are considered stray, and able to be trapped. Dodge says without being able to find the cats and have both the owner and the trapper identify them, there is no way to prove any of the cats taken belonged to anyone. Whether strays or pets, Dodge says dropping them in another town is not the answer. "Take them to a shelter where they can be cared for and there's a chance that it can be located if it is a pet," says Dodge. Residents of Burbank Ave have taken to social media to warn neighbors about the cat-napping. The comments posted on neighborhood watch website "Nextdoor" warn cat owners to keep their pets away from the home of the trapper. One of the comments says one relocated cat has been found and is back with its family. "If people kept their cats indoors and if people who have a nuisance problem deal with it responsibly, we wouldn't be spending so much time on a cat problem," says Dodge. Johnson City Police have spoken to the individual trapping the cats. Dodge says he was instructed to drop any cats trapped in the future at the humane society so that if it is a pet, the family has a chance at getting it back. Fox 40 has reached out to Burbank cat owners, but have not heard back.

A cat dies and goes to Heaven. God meets him at the gate and says, "You've been a good cat all of these years. Anything you desire is yours, all you have to do is ask." The cat says,"Well, I lived all my life with a poor family on a farm and had to sleep on hardwood floors."God says,"Say no more." And instantly,a fluffy pillow appears. A few days later, 6 mice are killed in a tragic accident and they go to Heaven, God meets them at the gate with the same offer that he made to the cat. The mice said,"All our lives we've had to run. We've been chased by cats, dogs and even women with brooms. If we could only have a pair of rollerskates, we wouldn't have to run anymore." God says,"Say no more." And instantly, each mouse is fitted with a beautiful pair of tiny roller skates. About a week later, God decides to check and see how the cat is doing. The cat is sound asleep on his new pillow. God gently wakes him and asks,"How are you doing? Are you happy here?" The cat yawns and stretches and says,"Oh, I've never been happier in my life. And those Meals on Wheels you've been sending over are the best!" Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
