Was It The Cat In The Hat?

Where's Dr Seuss When You Really Need Him?

A US driver was stopped on suspicion of being a terrorist after his radioactive cat was mistaken for a bomb. Anti-terror cops using specialist radiation detectors on motorway traffic flagged down the man. But a search of his car revealed only a cat that had undergone radiotherapy for cancer three days earlier.

FOOTNOTE: Felines, nothing more than felines.

  2. Do you suppose they expected a 'blow up' of the cat's x-ray as well?

    Your musical footnote needs a melody. OC and I read your blog together and groaned in unison.

  7. I can't even describe how hilarious I find stories like that. Is it because of the fact that we radiate ourselves (and apparently) our pets to kill cancer, basically fighting fire with poison? Or because "the man" got caught with his britches down? Or is it the combination of both?

  9. Well, as funny as it is to find him getting stopped for radiation detection, I'm delighted the man cared enough to treat his cat's cancer instead of just putting his pet down. That has got to be really expensive treatment for the poor kitty.

    Peace!

  15. Crazy! I wonder if some zealous Homeland Security dude might want to confiscate Alex because he has a microchip implanted under his skin for identification purposes.

  17. This was one time I had to ponder your parting pun. And that made it so much the better. Complicated felines indeed.

  18. If that happens with a cat, I can only imagine how a human would feel when being pulled over...and having to explain about radiation treatment. No fun!

  19. Oh man! That's going a over board. Glad they checked first before taking action. :(

    I did love your footnote tho!

  20. Oh, that's too funny! My son wanted to give me one of those countertop gardens, with the growing lamp and all. I could just see the ATF raiding our house, looking for weed.

    Shoot first, ask questions later, right?

    Peace - D
