Tweakers or street kids - or a combination thereof.

Maybe it just went out the door? Six months is awfully young to let your cat run around your bookstore.

How sad, though. Hope they find it.

Give a man a cat and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to steal cats...

Poor Cap Hill dwellers...you're just getting fucked over left and right, aren't you?

Not a new problem for Twice Told Tales. The Ave location has a sign right at the front door saying you have to check your cat-sized bag due to repeated cat nappings. Jeeze, people can't get over to a shelter? There's cats a-plenty!

I took in a stray cat in 1994 that wasn't very pleasant. I couldn't in good conscience toss it back into the wild after giving it a home, but there was a very similar looking cat at 2x Sold Tales only a block away from my house. I seriously considered taking the cat in a bag and leaving it there, thinking it would be days before they figured it out.

I didn't do it, and 13+ years later the cat is a permanent fixture in my house (but still unpleasant). I laugh to think what a hare-brained scheme that was.

What good are all those dildos if you don't have a pussy?

i'm thinking the type of person who would steal a kitten isn't the type of person to be persuaded to return it regardless of how many words you underline.

and @6.... ha!

It might not be jerks stealing the kittens but people concerned about their welfare. Let's face it, the folks at Twice Sold Tales are nice and the kittens are adorable but is it really very healthy for them to be cooped up in that dirty store and mauled by filthy, germ-laden children all day?

My cat would piss in my laundry hamper if his catbox smelled as bad as that bookstore.

CLEARLY that cat was gay. Seriously, would any self respecing kitty fag hang out there all day long? Face it, that cat found some gay couple driving by in a new BMW or Mercedes and said "Fuck this, I deserve BETTER!"

That cat is eating fabulous fresh sushi right now as we speak and wearing the brand new Kenneth Cole for the young cat.

Hope Jamie throws a book (the OED!) at the catnapper - or - er, the person who napped the cat. Not the person who catnaps, because - well, y'know, he be napping.

@16

A nice, used copy of the OED should also be thrown at the person who made that sign.

Even bookstore employees can't spell these days.

I'm with Hooty Sapperticker. Maybe if all their cats got stolen I might go in that store occasionally. As it is, I'd rather drink Dick Cheney's piss; it wouldn't smell as bad. Yuck!
