Oreo The Dog Is Dead, Blame Game Is Not
Reader Eugene spotted this "lost cat" sign and offers a critique to the sign's writer "in keeping with the politically correct fervor surrounding the now infamous lost child’s cap in Park Slope":
What do we mean by “White?”The signs were found on lampposts along Prospect Park. But we can't say it enough: Microchip your pet. And if you lose your pet, this is what you should do.
DNA wise, fur color is meaningless. How do you know this cat’s genetic lineage is not one and the same with the African cats held sacred by once powerful upper and lower Nile River kingdoms?"Docile" --- really?
How do you know it does not suffer with inner rage!“Maybe Old?” --- Good.
At least no fixed, ageist assumptions.“No tags.”
Well, maybe in this age of Big Brother invasions of privacy the owner was respecting the cat’s right to privacy.
If you have a soft spot for lost pet posters, we recommend Lost: Lost and Found Pet Posters from Around the World from Ian Phillips.

Thinking about losing my dog makes me real sad. Here I am sitting at work, tearing up. Thanks a lot, Gothamist.
I'm sorry, MissPinkKate. I really didn't mean to make anyone upset.
Don't worry, I still love you, Gothamist :-D And it's good to know what to do in case she were to ever run away, God forbid. (I've linked to her Dogster page- how cute is that face?)
Even though I've lived there for 10 years, I really despise Park Slope sometimes....
