FELINE FLAP
12:30 p.m. — 400 block of South Lime Avenue
Dispute: A woman and her former neighbor were in an argument regarding a cat. The woman said she moved out of a house and left a cat for her family member to care for. The woman noticed the cat was missing from the exterior of the house, so she asked the neighbor about it. The neighbor said she thought the cat was abandoned, so she took the cat to be neutered and microchipped. She then brought the cat home and let it outside, and hadn’t seen the cat in a few days. The neighbor said, if she saw the cat around the neighborhood, she would make sure it was returned.

The motel manager agreed to give him two hours to pack and said she would call the police again if further problems arise.
