These pictures are the emotionally wrenching evidence that a nefarious renter in my apartment complex is shamelessly exploiting their elderly cat for the visual gratification of even the most mildly curious passers-by on their way to the laundry room.

Loving your cat is one thing. Turning it into a highly illegitimate zoo display is another.

And the informational placard? Insult to injury!

As I approached the window, I could barely believe my compassionate eyeballs.

Too, too cute cruel.

Why not strap a little barrel around the poor thing’s neck and charge admission to see ”ROSCOE, THE ST. BERNARD CAT”?!
