Bike Lane Repainters: "We're Self-Hating Jewish Hipsters"
This weekend Sunnyside, Queens residents stood up for their local feline friends. NY1 reports that "Anita DiSarli organized a rally Saturday to alert the public to what she calls a problem of animal abuse by some area store managers. She says they house cats, but intentionally keep food away from them so they will be more eager to catch mice." The 99-cent store and National Liquidators on Queens Boulevard are allegedly slowly killing the cats via this neglect--some have been rescued and diagnosed with eye problems, jaundice and other ailments. Mickey, one of the rescued cats, has "doubled in weight, going from six to 12 pounds in just under a month," his new owner saying he's "Friendly as hell, sleeps next to my leg, climbs on my chest. He's been so starved for attention." [via Queens Crap]

My bet is that the stores were keeping the cats to catch rodents.
The problem with this is that cats will catch mice or rats even if they're well fed. Sometimes MORE frequently because they're healthier and more able to stalk and kill than if they're hunting for survival.
cats would hunt for mice just for the fun of it.
It's not a matter of "fun." It's instinct. Man is the only animal that kills for fun.

Brilliant deduction!
Mfer, what a pathetic person you are. Why hate innocent animals. You probably hate yourself and project it unto the cats. Anyhow I don't blame you for hating yourself. you are a loser.
"Innocent animals". Why not just animals? Do you mean there are animals--man excluded--that are not innocent? Screw that, man included. And do you love every animal in the planet? Get real.
