Why So Many Cats?
Q: Man, there are a lot of cats up here. How come? -- Fido, Fredericksburg
A: With very few exceptions, the Lower East Side is Uptown as far as a cat is concerned. It's because of all the rats.
Q: There are rats up here? I thought this was Heaven!
A: Hey, you'd be surprised how many good rats there are in the Trench. For them, this is Uptown, too. Up here they get to run and scurry a lot but the cats never catch them.
Q: If the cats never catch them then how can this be Uptown for cats?
A: Ever heard of a deal with the devil? I'm not sayin' such a deal ever took place understand, but we've got a passel of rats that get sent up to us on loan for "special" punishment -- the cats never miss 'em and toy with 'em for hours before the big chomp. Who knows, maybe those rats are reincarnated Latin American dictators or something.
