I'm sorry, but WTF? An animal control officer (You, know, the dog catcher? A public servant charged with rounding up stray dogs who might be a threat?) asked to look around your house cos the CAT GOT OUT? That's so many levels of fucked up I can't even express how many levels of fucked up it is. Cats get out all the time. It's a thing. Because cats are cats! They're really really good at getting out.

I'd be at the next city council meeting asking for fucking heads to roll. But them, I'm white, right? I wouldn't have to worry that Ms. Fascist Animal Control Officer would sic some of her racist cop buddies on my ass.

I have a lot of shit to be angry about, but THIS is really setting me off, for some reason.

She asked to come in your house because the CAT GOT OUT?

Jesus fucking christ on a stick. That's just obscene.
