Cat Sends Man to Psych Ward

I know when I’m hungry lassos are the first place I go!

Huh? He barricaded himself in his apartment to save a cat that fell down a hole FIFTEEN DAYS EARLIER? What am I missing here?

So if the cat died later that day, would the guy be stuck in the mental hospital? Just rocking in a chair by the window, year after year saying “here kitty, kitty, kitty”?

Maybe they’d let him out once he “learned” there was never really a cat.

Still, barracading yourself in an apartment seems like an odd way to rescue a cat that has fallen down a big pipe. Why not, you know, call for animal rescue or something.

“Muth claims he called 311, the fire department and police to help him save the cat, but couldn’t get through the bureaucracy.”

I don’t know what 311 is there, but it doesn’t sound like “barricaded” is factual, he had after all broken into somebody else’s apartment and had some responsibility for controlling who else came in after him, doncha think?

I have heard the term barricade used for a two year old who locked themselves in the bathroom by accident. I have also heard cops use it against people who closed an unlocked screen door in the face of a cop who was trying to enter without a warrant.

Ignore the term. It is just a word cops use to sound important.

that’s nothing, have you heard about non violent citizens being thrown into jail with violent rapists and murderers ready to rape them after they were convicted for owning, using, or growing cannabis? sounds crazy, I know, I mean it’s just a plant!

How many cats did Frances Farmer own?

Larry,
In NYC, 311 is a non-emergency emergency number. Basically, it’s like 911 for situations where an immediate response is not required (i.e. a murder or assault happening would require an immediate response, while a trapped cat or losing your wallet would not.)
