Kitten Stealing is a New Low

While trolling around some of Seattle's great local blogs for breaking news, we saw this photo that broke our heart:

Kitten stealing is definitely a new low! Though, apparently, it's been a problem before at Twice Sold Tales. They take your backpack at the counter in part to avoid cat-napping. So sad. The cats, to this non-allergic bookstore lover, are one of the nicest parts of Twice Sold Tales on Capitol Hill.

We, with all the power we have upon local thieves, demand: Unhand the kitten you thief!

What are the odds of a kitten, left on its own to run around a store all day, was stolen, as opposed to simply darting out a door that opens hundreds of times a day?

I wonder if the owners aren't feeling a bit guilty about their irresponsibility and find it easier to blame an imaginary thief.

How do they know the cat was stolen and it didn't run out when the door was open?

That's fucking disgusting. I'm sorry, but it's the what makes Twice Sold Tales everywhere great and who the hell can't find a free cat somewhere else?!

Cats are cheap as hell. Just look on Craigslist, you'll find a free cat.

That person needs to have all their stocks stolen.
