New York: Poor Pussy

There I am, minding my own business on the subway to FAO Schwarz. I get out at 5th Avenue and what do I see? A man walking his cat on the subway platform.
I'm not sure what disturbed me more - that a man was walking his cat on a lead - or that he was doing it at FIFTH AVENUE. WTF?
Don't get me wrong, I like cats.

But walking them on a lead is over the top. And you can't tell me this kitty looks happy about being paraded around on a train platform. Aside from all the people, noise and TRAINS, it didn't exactly want to walk.
Maybe the dude needs to read a book like this? If he's down with buying and using a lead for his cat, then he'd probably be down with buying a book to learn how to use it. Some suckers will buy into anything, when really, all kitty wants is a cuddle and some Whiskas.

And the saddest thing is, kitty doesn't have a voice to say no.
So might I suggest, when he finally lets you off the leash - run kitty, run.
