But before we get to Burger Week, there is no new news about whoever stabbed two cats in the Woodlawn neighborhood. The person in question may be laying low, mindful of the ire of the city’s cat-lovers, but on the plus side they probably haven’t stabbed any more cats, either.

CATS

RE: “Let’s Catch the Portland Cat Stabber” [Blogtown, June 29], a call to spread word of the apparent stabbing of two domestic cats in the Woodlawn neighborhood, in hopes of apprehending the assailant.

The stabbing of two cats in the same household seems like a vengeful targeted act, which was maybe about some person in that household, rather than a random act of cat violence.

Cats are not native to our environment, they are very destructive to local wildlife, and they tend to live much shorter lives if let outdoors. Please keep them inside.

I will absolutely not keep my cats inside unless there is a clear and immediate threat. I try to bring the cats in at night to keep them safe from the coyotes, but if I can’t get the cat to come in, then I don’t have him inside at night.
