Public Announcement

[steelweb]

All right, everybody listen up! Due to the flood of reports concerning a large, tawny, predatory cat running loose in and around town, the police force is initiating a hunt. This is going to be undertaken systematically and professionally, and we're requesting the public's assistance.

First: We need everyone to stay indoors as much as possible. Large predators are very dangerous and can be very unpredictable. Do not approach it, and do not run. If you have to go out, stick together in groups and don't dawdle. Cats have very good night vision, so don't assume that going out at night is the answer.

Second: If you see the creature, call emergency services or our hotline: 1-800-244-2287 or 1-800-BIG-CATS. Be quick, clear, and precise. What did you see, where did you see it, what was it doing, where are you now.



The police department, with the assistance of the New Moore Avengers, will be organizing a city-wide search using a variety of techniques and equipment ranging from canine units to infrared cameras during the evening hours - which makes it even more imperative for pets and people to be kept indoors. We'll be attempting to capture the cat, find out where it came from, and get it to a place where it won't cause problems for the city.

Any questions?

This is unrelated, but where would I get a cage big enough to hold a large cat? Perhaps some kind of tiger?

[swordhappy]

You will not keep it!

[badnewsboy]

No one said anything about keeping it. Unrelated note! Unrelated!

[swordhappy]

It is never unrelated with you. And even I were to believe that, I would be no less suspicious.

[badnewsboy]

Yet there is still a large cat with a mane that is in need of some capturing, suspicions aside for the moment.

Loki. As though I were not already on the hunt as soon as I knew that to be true.

...You shouldn't be attempting to keep any cats of that size. For one thing, pets over a certain weight aren't allowed in the apartments. Secondly, these are wild animals, and it's not safe for you or for the animal to be kept in close confinement like that for long.

[badnewsboy]

Everyone's assuming I'm going to keep the large beast in which you all seek, but I assure you that's not in my agenda.

I'll point out that you mentioned a tiger, but they're in the same size and weight category. What are you planning for a cage of that caliber, then?
