In case you haven’t heard, it seems a cat and two kittens
were spotted on the track at one of the Brooklyn
stations. The authorities stopped the trains for a whole hour until staff had
been deployed to catch the animals and make them safe. No service to Manhattan on that part of
the system for a whole hour. Imagine that. It must have inconvenienced a lot of
people.
The news report quoted one disgruntled commuter:
‘All this trouble, just for a bunch of cats. I hate cats.’
Well, he has every right to hate cats if he wants to, but
that isn’t what it’s about. It’s about the New York Subway authority having
enough soul to save some animals at the expense of causing a lot of people
inconvenience. I like that. I really like that.
Do I love this town? Getting there.
